Lenky now is hosted on a dedicated server to make sure that this down time will not happen again.

And about lenky plugin, we are working now on upgrading our system so that we can deliver more relevant results.

We are back, there was a little problem with our server and it is fixed now.

Sorry for inconvenience, and about blogs that have our plugin installed it is supposed that every thing was working fine while we were down and this is because of the cache.

More Features Are On The Way http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/22/more-features-are-on-the-way/ http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/22/more-features-are-on-the-way/#comments Sat, 22 Mar 2008 13:57:28 +0000 Tamer http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/22/more-features-are-on-the-way/ We are working on adding more features and fixing some issues that was reported by our users.

Here’s what we are working on now:

  • Ability to show/hide lenky related results from a certain post
  • Removing the “blank” attribute from showed links to leave it to user to choose between opening it on a new window or on the same window.
  • All images and javascript files will be included with the plugin to make the page load faster.
  • Fixing the validation issue so that bloggers have lenky plugin installed will not get HTML validation errors because of the plugin.
  • The plugin will not show errors in your blog in case of a connection problem between your blog and lenky.
  • Making the trackig code more accurate so it will not miss any hit come to your website from lenky.

Most of this list has been finished already and we are testing before releasing it.

Here’s a screen shot of how you will be able to SHOW/HIDE lenky results in certain posts from lenky plugin options page.

And as you know lenky is still in beta so if you have any suggestions or ideas, they are welcomed and really appreciated.

How to Get Your Page Rank Back In Less Than A Week http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/16/how-to-get-your-page-rank-back-in-less-than-a-week/ http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/16/how-to-get-your-page-rank-back-in-less-than-a-week/#comments Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:31:53 +0000 Tamer http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/16/how-to-get-your-page-rank-back-in-less-than-a-week/ I read an interesting post about a blogger who lost his blog page rank, his blog page rank becomes zero after it was 4/10, this is because he had paid links in his blog that are seen by search engines ( as paid links in your pages shouldn’t be visible to search engines, and this can be done either by showing that links using javascript or adding the “no follow” attribute to that links ).

here’s a quote from the original post:

The latest page rank update of Google left Blogging Mix with a BIG FAT ZERO PR. Certainly, doing sponsored reviews and selling my page rank were the main reasons behind Google’s action. From a page rank of 4, Google warned me by down grading my page rank to 3. But I ignored Google so eventually they resorted to taking my page rank away. I tried convincing myself that Page Rank is irrelevant but after experiencing the effects of losing it, I’m now more than convinced that Page Rank is important.

he sent to Google to inform them that he added “no follow” attribute to all his sponsors links and then he got his page rank back.

here’s the original post:

How I Got My Page Rank Back In Less Than 1 Week

New Version 1.0.7 beta http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/01/new-version-107-beta/ http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/01/new-version-107-beta/#comments Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:15:42 +0000 Tamer http://lenky.net/blog/2008/03/01/new-version-107-beta/ A new version is released : (1.0.7) beta

In this new version of lenky related links plugin we added :

An Options Page “Lenky Plugin Options” Page (Options >> Lenky Plugin Options)

Click on the image for larger size

This Options page allow you to choose where the related links should show up, the defaults are to show the related results at Individual blog posts and in pages.

Showing related results at the home page of the blog caused problems for some users, and makes home page work a bit slower.

The other thing you can configure using this options page is to edit the “Related Links to this post:” as we found that some bloggers who installed lenky plugin changed it ( from the source code of the plugin ) so i think it is easier to edit it using the options page.

We are now working on adding the stats to lenky admin page( how many links of your blog posts are shown in other blogs using lenky, and how many hits you got through lenky, ……. etc. ) , also in the next release you will have an option of removing related links from certain posts ( for example : posts with personal information ) .

We are also working on improving or system to drive more relevant links than before.

Another thing is “Digg us, or write a post about lenky plugin” , the more users we will get the more links, and hits you will get from us.

DOWNLOAD lenky related links plugin version 1.0.7 beta

View Facebook Private Photos http://lenky.net/blog/2008/02/28/view-facebook-private-photos/ http://lenky.net/blog/2008/02/28/view-facebook-private-photos/#comments Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:05:30 +0000 boshcash http://lenky.net/blog/2008/02/28/view-facebook-private-photos/

[this bug is now fixed :(, another bug will be posted soon , if u have any other bugs plz share with us]

Is all your facebook photos private ? now the answer is not really because anyone could view some of your photos , last album u were tagged at , and also the last album u tagged yourself at. You can try this out yourself, try the following link :

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1234567&id={someone's id}&op=1&view=all&subj={someone's same id}

now replace someone’s id and someone’s same id , with the user id of the user you want to view his/her last tagged photos.

You will see an error content not found , but tadaaaaa, did u notice the pid has changed ? now try the same link but by deleting the last part &subj={someone’s same id} from the link

the link should be something like :
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=[correctly generated pid]&id={someone's id}&op=1&view=all

now u will be able to see the album this user was last tagged at.

You can try the same thing but with the user’s self tagged photos by trying this following similar link :

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1234567&id={someone's id}&op=1&view=user&subj={someone's same id}

(the view=all is changed with view=user)

now u will find a content not found page , and to see the last album just delete the subj= part like we did above .. the pid should be automatically adjusted but it’s different from the view=all case.

Note : If the pid doesnt change when u get the content not found page , then the user doesnt have any tagged photos ([view=all] case) , or doesnt have any self tagged photos ([view=user] case)

If you have a wordpress blog then you can download lenky plugin to increase your blog traffic and rank, For more info Click Here
