Going on a limb and will say that your partner is using a non-standard keyboard...

Erotik fÃ¼rs Handy

Yup...

I will try to put this data into the DB manually...

It worked... on the trade page it will have a funky character because that u with two dots doesn't work well with us English speaking people...

Perhaps this will be one of the first fixes to the site!

Hello, a friend of mine with the username Vivian8 has problems with the following link trades:

765578
756343

She can't login in the linkspun forum with her regulary linkspun username and password and the email to [email protected] is undeliverable.

Can you please check this for her?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.

I sent her a message on logging into the forum.

765578 This trade is messed up because her site is messed up. Go to her site:
http://www.bondage-fetisch-sex.com/

Notice the two jacked up images on the right side? Just below the orange subscribe to our RSS feed?

Check out the code:

Code: Select all

<div class="sidebaradbox">

				<a href="http://newwpthemes.com/-->" target="_new"><img class="ad125" src="<!--http://newwpthemes.com/uploads/newwp/newwp12.png" /></a> 
<a href="http://flexithemes.com/?partner=19-->" target="_new"><img class="ad125" src="<!--http://flexithemes.com/wp-content/partners/fta.gif" /></a> 
			</div>

By placing the comment tags inside the HTML code tags she has broken the page. Our bot is noticing this and is basically stating that in the current way this is written her web site is completely missing the blogroll section that comes after this commented out code. She should have placed the:

Code: Select all

<!-- -->

Outside of the HTML code she is trying to comment out.

Code: Select all

<div class="sidebaradbox">

				<!--  Properly commented out!
<a href="http://newwpthemes.com/" target="_new"><img class="ad125" src="http://newwpthemes.com/uploads/newwp/newwp12.png" /></a> 
<a href="http://flexithemes.com/?partner=19" target="_new"><img class="ad125" src="http://flexithemes.com/wp-content/partners/fta.gif" /></a>
-->
			</div>

And this trade: 756343
Is from the same site... So it is having the same problem.

Introduce her to www.w3schools.com for tutorials on how to write better code.

Try checking them again. It should work. Had to do with how your server encodes the content.

boltblue · Post by **boltblue** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 2:09 pm

I have 3 setup trades that will not go through to active even though I have put the links up:

1061850
1061848
1054917

Also I had a trade dropped because the link could not be found, even though I have 6 other Linkspun trades on that site that are working fine:

1055353

Thanks for the help, and thanks for Linkspun. It has helped my sites out immensely.

I understand the button needs to be clicked... Yes, those links have been placed and I have clicked the "check links" button many times, but the link still is not found.
Here are the trades again:
1061850
1061848
1054917

The links are on those pages. Not only that, if you view the source page you can see that they are there. I checked the closing tags for those links and I see nothing out of the ordinary. But the Linkspun bot is not finding those links.

As for the trade that was cancelled by the other web master (1055353), I should have brought that trade to your attention before it came to that, I admit. But I got frustrated because I have 6 other links on that webpage from Linkspun that show up fine. So I told the other web master that I was taking that website off of Linkspun (hiding it) because of this bug (his link not being found), and he cancelled the trade. Can't blame him for that.

Hope that explanation helps, because I have hidden those sites that have "link not found" errors on them. And I would like to put those sites back up for trades.

What you have:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://www.camxgirls.com" target="_blank">Cam Girls</a>

What your linking partner wanted:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://camxgirls.com/">Cam Girls</a>

I highly suggest using the Copy HTML button, Copy link button, Copy Anchor button, etc... That way you get exactly what they asked you for.

99.99% of the time it is not a LinkSpun bug. It is you or your partner not entering what was asked for. Maybe two spaces where entered instead of one. Maybe they asked for no trailing slash and you put one. Maybe your banner or link above the intended link doesn't have a closing tag.

OK, so now I understand the trailing slash does matter. I don't think the target="_blank" matters though because I put target="_blank" on all of my links and they are all OK. I will add the trailing slash and hopefully that will clear the errors. Thanks for pointing me in this direction, appreciate the effort.

Hi I have 2 trades that are up, but linkspun is not seeing them.

tradeID 1221861
tradeID 233636

Both of them are on the same one page in a 10 page site. If I click on my link via linkspun it comes up as a blank pink page, yet from my browser it works.

Thanks

vrocks · Post by **vrocks** » Wed Oct 17, 2012 10:27 pm

Where to begin...

Frontpage? Wow... Haven't seen anybody use that in a long time...

Anyway... Try moving the analytics code to just before the </body> tag at the bottom of the page. This often happens when it is at the top.

On the first one... Are you sure you didn't mean to put that here: http://www.milfhall.com/milf_strips.htm

angelamerkel · Post by **angelamerkel** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 12:30 pm

Ok, sometimes the Loading Time of affaire ist very long. But this cannot be the Reason, because the other Links have no Link errors. The Neighbour Link of this is also by Linkspun and have no error.

vrocks · Post by **vrocks** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 12:56 pm

Apparently something got lost in translation.

You are missing the </a> tag before the last </td> tag

Code: Select all

<td class="style46" style="width: 130px; height: 130px">
				<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.affaire.com/?WMID=77287&CTRLID=&PID=1&WMEC=5&pop=0">
				<img border="0" src="http://telefon-dating.porno-geil.com/images/telefonsex-girl-04.jpg" width="130" height="130"></td>

It should look like this:

Code: Select all

<td class="style46" style="width: 130px; height: 130px">
				<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.affaire.com/?WMID=77287&CTRLID=&PID=1&WMEC=5&pop=0">
				<img border="0" src="http://telefon-dating.porno-geil.com/images/telefonsex-girl-04.jpg" width="130" height="130"></a></td>

And you are right. It shouldn't matter how long it takes for affair to load... Linkspun's bot doesn't download images so it only cares about the HTML. Your HTML is not correct.

Hi im facing this issue too... i sent a message to [email protected]

I have many trades that are showing not found even when the link is up.

This is happening with almost all the active trades. Except few ones, that i know i have modified the url (for SEO improvements) and it show "not found".......... But the others active trades are showing NOT FOUND anyway witch the backlink up, without url changed.

Please check the trades from my account, if i click on "check links!" they change to "not found".
