ngairedith on 2015-04-10 21:42:47to prevent spamming our pages Jackson, please add links to all your obits like so:
East Liverpool Review Deaths and you can add names in the Surnames box provided at bottom of page
Jackson_Wilson on 2015-04-11 12:34:23Hi ngairedith,
I am not sure I am following what you want me to do.
First off, I wasn't aware that I was causing the pages to be spammed. I have been doing as everyone else and following all the directions when I share these articles. Also, the link you shared is to one of my Pinterest Boards, that board is for April of last year. Why would I link that? These articles I share are the transcriptions of the obituaries I work with daily from a local newspaper.
Furthermore, I have been adding the appropriate surnames in the box provided when I post a new article. I only put the surname of the person, their maiden name, mother's maiden name, and spouse's maiden name.
Thanks in advanced for clarifying;
Jack.
ngairedith on 2015-04-12 10:35:38hello Jack,
by spam I was referring to your articles being posted to our main page one after the other, after the other. Each page only shows 50 posts at a time, you posted 60 times on 5 pages
I know the link is yours. I add it only to show that instead of taking every person out of every board and adding them one at a time here, how about you link to a whole board as in the example and add the relevant names in the Surnames box. These are picked up on a google search bringing people in here to click on your link and find the obit of the person
No you are not adding names into the Surname box. Here is an example of one of my postings. Scroll to the end where you will see the surnames in the box (write surname only & add comma without a space). This box only holds x amount of names so add those that are perhaps unusual first. This is not imperative of course as names from the main body of your posting will go straight to google anyway
- I suggested it only as one possible way to free up the main page for others
