One tool that isn’t listed (probably as it’s not really a link building tool) is called Testimonial Monkey (www.testimonialmonkey.com) which can help automate the process of adding customer testimonials to your website. The user generated content is very natural and usually keyword rich so it can also help to have a positive effect on seach engine rankings.

Quick question for you…

I am running a “load balanced” WP distributed through servers in 4 places: Hong Kong (master), Manchester, LA and Beijing.
Because of the distance the performance when say accessing in the US is less than ideal, as I imagine the session data needs to be written all the way to Hong Kong., although the data will be read from the US.

My question however is this: how can I guarantee that I am uploading data to the master server? When I log in to the back end through say a subdomain like hkg.abc.com I get redirected to http://www.abc.com, which means I could be uploading data to a non-master server.

I suppose this is a basic WP config question but I am more familiar with Joomla and this is just our first WP load balancing project.

Keep up the good work with the blog

So, I have to ask: does anyone use those country-specific TLD – based ping services? Are they of any help? I’m also interested to learn whether country-specific ping services still work in cases when they are no longer working on default addresses (.com) – most notably Techniorati

Anyone?

Cheers!

This is caused by not having a Virtual Host set up yet, it should work fine once you set up YOUR_WEBSITE_ADDRESS.com, or even the default… What do you think?
