Observations on the Deep Link Engine

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I have now installed the Deep Link Engine on this and several other blogs. I have used it on new posts and have updated some existing posts to add links to other blogs. The engine does find a good number of blogs with somewhat relative content.

Perhaps it is just my learning curve, but I have run into one problem using the plug-in. There will be a list of blogs generated by the plug. There is a check-box by each listing and a remove button. The remove button does remove the entries from the list, but when I publish many of those blogs that I have removed still show up in the link list. I tried refreshing the list after I had removed the less relative entries but when I published the links were still included. Unless this is a problem with my understanding of the way this should work this is a serious shortcoming of the plug-in, in my opinion.

I would like to post the links that I feel have the most relative content to my blog post. If the titles returned don’t sound relevant I would prefer that they do not show up in the link list. I also feel that there would be greater acceptance of the ping-backs if my post sounded relevant to those blogs that receive the pings.

I will continue to work with the plug and see if I can discover a method that will function as I think that it should. I may contact the author of the plug and ask if this is possible.

Have you tried the Deep Link Engine? Did you want to choose the blogs to which you link? Were you able to accomplish this with the plug-in? Please leave a comment telling of your experience or thoughts about this plug-in.  Thanks!
