Great tips Birdman, thanks.

I have used simple spreadsheets until recently and have now implemented using my directory software to manage the different sites and the status of each linking program. We can then use the search feature to bring up possible partners when we are working on a new site.

Managing the backroom so to speak, not just what's out front. Good point Birdman, it's a huge hassle for many folks. I know it's been an ongoing process of learning for me, especially since I am technically deficient.

Something that has really helped me is on my spreadsheet or now with the directory software is to categorize by the page on my site where the links are contained. So at a glance I can see the details of establishing the link. Other data I like to include is what date I submit the site, when it’s accepted, what page I submit to, an email address with contact name, and the title I used for my submission. I like to track that I am rotating between 8 or so and that they are coming in balanced.
