Who's Clicking Your Links?

B. L. Ochman urges us to "link like crazy" to be widely read:

"One thing that distinguishes blog posts from dead-tree journalism is that bloggers link prodigiously.

"Link to any other blog or website you mention. link to articles, books, products, bios, explanatory materials on other sites that you mention in your blog.

"Always link to information that clarifies or gives background on information and opinions in your post."

But how do you track which outgoing links are most effective and useful? Thanks to MyBlogLog.Com, that's a question you can start answering. I've just installed the tool (one line of javascript) on Desirable Roasted Coffee, and am already seeing results. Good tool!

Tip of the hat to Steve Rubel.

Allan: Forgive my ignorance, but where do I insert the script? I'm using Typepad, and I'm clueless as to where to paste it. I read the instructions on MyBlogLog.com, but it's not clear where in Typepad's menu system I should be.

Eric, you will have to open your site templates to do this. Look under Design, then Edit Templates.

The code will need to be dropped just before in all of your templates.
