Cleaning the Blogroll
Posted on 5th August 2008 by papabearIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or get my updated posts via email. Thanks for visiting Kisahberuang.com!
Finally, I have completed the housekeeping task on my blogroll. I think more than 100 links is already a lot for me and I do not want to do it when the list is longer than that. Even for the current list, it took me many hours to check and verify each one of them. Some of you may think that I am nuts but I have my reasons for doing that.
The objective of the exercise was to weed out some links that have not being behaving that good and I have decided to keep on doing that every month starting this month. During the last process, 17 sites were removed and that was due to one or more of the following:
- Inactive blogs - I am only counting up to three months from this month. Therefore, if a blog has its last entry before May 1st, 2008, I considered that as inactive.
- No link back to my blog - Some of the blogs that were in my blogroll did not have any link to mine.
If I have removed yours by mistake and your blog is not in any of the category above, please accept my apology and let me know and I will add it back to my list.
Next month, I will be doing the same thing and thanks to BlogRolling, it is very easy for me to do what I need to do. All the blogs that do not have the “updated” word next to it will definitely be investigated.
What about you? Do you go through your blogroll regularly? As for me, I just want only active blogs in my list.

i should do clean up on my blog roll too. when i first started blogging, people asked for links I just linked. but some didnt return the links, some r just plain inactive and some already deleted me hahahahahha
okey my links are not on your blogroll just to remind you.. please add my links and buzz me when your done..
you should be doing your rounds to see some inactive or not link back every now and end. this is where you will find the issue. major clean up like this can remove links that is not included on your issue, like my links

i would love to have active blogs as well…but due to time constraint…i’ll clean my “house” only once in a month (or perhaps not as frequent as dat either)
Well, I don’t look them daily actually I’ve checked them once in a while.. but this post made me think about it.. So I’m going to check the links once in a month too.
