InLinkz - Documentation

We do not!

The permissions requested by us from Facebook are only the email and public profile, just to validate the existence of the user.

Our process of getting the users email and entry are set like so to be compliant with the GDPR that came into effect in May 2018.

Tags: widget, not allowed

If you get the following message, when add the InLinkz widget to your blog,

The InLinkz widget is not allowed in this website

you need to add your blog address to your Blog Settings (Settings> My Blogs), in order to allow the widget to be displayed in your website.

Tags: free, ads

Free accounts are ad-supported and the links you see are ads. These keep the service free and you cannot remove them. If you upgrade your account, the ads are instantly removed. When your account expires or you fall back to the free plan, the ads are re-added to your LinkUps.

Tags: chrome, error, cookie, 400

Please, clear your browser cache (http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache) or try to use another browser.

The issue is due to chrome's cookie storage space and is only affecting your own browser.

Don't worry, your readers are seeing the linkup correctly

Tags: wordpress, thumbnails, images, not shown up, code

Most probably the code you put is for the wordpress.com blogs.

If your blog's installation is on a self-hosted wordpress.org platform, blogger or typepad,

then remove the code you have already added to you blog and grab the first code of the code dialog, as shown below:

This will display the linkup inside the blog post.

If your blog hosted on wordpress.com, then no widget is allowed to be displayed inside your posts.

For this kind of installations, you can only use the second code of the code dialog which presents a button for your users to see the linkup on an external page.

Tags: change blog url, manage blogs

To change the blog URL you have associated with Inlinkz, go to your Settings (1) and from the Profile list on the left, select My Blogs (2).

Add a new blog URL (3) as well as a few related keywords (4).

As soon as you add the new URL, the delete option will be displayed.

Click on the reb bin on the right to delete the URL you need to be removed.

A quick note:
If you have tied the URL of a specific blogpost and not the generic URL of your blog and you need to replace it, add first a "dummy" URL (for example "www.example.com") so as the system will let you delete the old blogspost URL and then add the generic blog URL.

Tags: upload an image, not url, no blog

To upload an image to a link party without adding a URL:

1. Add a dummy URL on the URL field (eg. http://example.com)

2. Select the upload tab

4. Save.

Tags: manage links, moderate links, notification

To get notified of new entries as well as links needed moderation enable the Email Preferences from your Settings:

You can set up the system to send you hourly, daily or weekly notifications.

Email notifications every hour, day or week

The notification option is disabled by default.

Tags: moderate links, advanced options, backlinks

If you have enabled the require backlinks option from the +Advanced options, then, each time a entrant submits a link that doesn't comply with this ruleset,
the link won't be displayed in your collection, until you moderate it.

Once you approve that link, it will be displayed normally in your party. If you reject it, it will be deleted from your collection permanently.

Tags: price, subscription

Legacy accounts are plans for users like you, that are already subscribed to the old inlinkz.
You keep the $2.99 pricing as is, through your current subscription and get all fresh features as well.

Make sure you create a fresh account with the same email as the one you are using in the old system.
You will be assigned the Legacy plan.

Tags: backlink, link party, advanced options

InLinkz link parties can help you build your incoming links by requiring backlinks from your entants to your blog.

Through the required backlinks feature, you can force your readers to add a direct link that points from their site to yours.

This backlink acts as a good referral from other blogs so it is beneficial to your pagerank.

To require a backlink, click to expand the +Advanced options, while creating or editing a link party.

Enable the "Require back links" option.

Once you enable it, the blog(s) you want your readers to point to will be displayed. You can set or change your blogs from your Settings > My Blogs.

When entrants submit links that Inlinkz is unable to verify their backlinks, the system will still add them to the collection but they will not be displayed on hosts' blog, until they moredate them. The hosts will receive an email about the pending for moderation links and as soon as they approve them from their dashboard > Manage links, the links will be displayed in their collection.

Tags: bloghop, co-hosts, link party, share code

Once you have created a party on the fresh InLinkz, you can share it with your co-hosts by sending them your code.

To do that, just click to copy the code of a link party:

Paste the code as a plain text (we usually use the https://pastebin.com/ to share codes) and then send it to them.

In case you want them only to add their links and not to add your party on their blogs, you can just send them the unique link of the party you will find at the bottom of the same code window:

Once your co-hosts add the code on their html editing mode of their blog, your link party will be displayed to their blogs as well.

Note: If your co-hosts blog installastion is on wordpress.com, copy and send them the code for wordpress.com sites.

Tags: verification, email, widget

Big changes are happening around your personal data rights and we have built Inlinkz to reflect these changes.

Willing to keep your info safe & sound, you need to verify your entry, before you submit a link for the first time (verifying only takes a few seconds and you need to do it only once). After verifying your email, you can add links to all InLinkz link parties without the need for re-verification.

GDPR

The email verification process is a needed change due to the GDPR which states that email and IP address constitute personal data. We cannot provide data to hosts or collect it in any way, without getting the consent of entrants (you).

-----------------------

Prevent unauthorized people (third parties) to add links for you without your permission

By verifying your email allows us to detect if a third party tries to add a link under your email without your permission. This means that if emails are entered from a completely different state/country from the verification state/country, a block is placed until re-verification to keep your email and account safe.

------------------------

Spam

Through the verification process we are also able to control spam links and prevent automatic mass-adding of links that has happened in some occasions on the previous versions. We want to make sure that every link added to a link party is real and not automatically added by a bot and that behind each entry is a person that will also visit your own entries in the same party.

We take your privacy very seriously to keep your data safe and reap all the benefits when adding your entries to any InLinkz linkup.

Extended benefits

Logging in to Inlinkz, you can:

* see how many clicks you receive from each of your entries

* your link history

* automatic completion
