More Spring Cleaning – A Letter to my Fellow Anti-Kimkins Bloggers, And Forum Posters

Dear Fellow Bloggers,

I know you didn’t mean to do it. I have even done it myself in the past, and now I understand even more why I shouldn’t have done it.

They are buried, and while I was digging in the internet garden yesterday I came across a lot of them. Some of you have probably completely forgotten about them – but they are there, and have taken root.

Bloggers of all levels are in on this one – even the ones that the majority of us visit.

I know you didn’t mean to do it, but now I must ask – in the battle against Kimkins – if you could all pitch in for some spring cleaning.

What am I talking about?

Within many of your blogs – the majority being posts created last year – there are still links to Kimkins.com. They are “back links.” There might be only 1, 2, or 3 on your blog, but the accumulation of them from many blogs has added up and they are all pointing to Kimkins.

Why is this a bad thing?

Back links are a huge factor in the ranking and support of a website. Some links, like the ones from news organizations are not in our control. But the ones in our personal blogs are.

I am asking all bloggers to please take some time to do some spring cleaning and gardening today. Please remove direct links to Kimkins off your blog, and replace the link to something you feel really represents what Kimkins is.

I am not going to name any names here. I know you have all been extremely busy and working hard. I just hate to see us sabotaging ourselves.

To the Forum Posters -

I understand the listing of information from the Who Is and addresses provided to submit complaints. But within this information as well, links to Kimkins are sticking – and sticking it to us. If you come across one of these links on your forum, I would like to ask if you could please send a message to the forum director asking them to break the link. Also, if you need to list the Kimkins web site that you please be sure to break the link.

I will be doing some spring cleaning myself today, and I hope you will join me.

Thank you all who have worked to help.

Sincerely,

Avenue Girl

  2. so how can we find out without clicking on all our links if we have the about.com correct link for kimkins.con or an actual link to kk?

  4. 2big, when I hover over a link, the actual address shows up in a bar at the bottom of my browser window.

    I use firefox.

    Anyone else care to share how they do it with their browsers?

    Thanks.

  6. well I was hoping for an easier way then looking at each link individually, but yes even IE will do what you suggested.
