When I first created LinkyTools, it was free, it grew at an outrageous pace.

• Over 16,000 subscribed users (free subscriptions) in a matter of weeks,
• Hundreds of thousand linky lists
• Over 5 million entries
• Over THREE MILLION thumbnail images
• Linky lists on blogs are displayed hundreds of thousands of times a day

I personally take care of all customer service. I listen, I help, I improve. The expense and time got completely out of hand. Donations and advertising didn’t happen. The hosting expense (I paid for), customer service (me) and maintenance (me too) of Linky Tools became simply unsustainable as a "free service".

So I'm charging a small yearly fee ($24.00). That’s two one dollar bills a month.

If you just thought "no way, I’ll find a free service", you'll miss out on a lot of great stuff.

This is the best linky system on the Internet. I am constantly adding new tools and features. The tools, the traffic it brings you, the web links back to you, the increased exposure on the Internet from the blog directory, blog hops and lists… all for about half a cup of coffee a month. Check out some of the great features you get:

As always you’ll get personal service from me when you have feedback, idea or comment; just email me: brent at brentriggs.com.

Of course, entering links into a Linky Tool List on someone’s blog will always be free.

Thanks so much, I know you'll love Linky Tools.

Hoping for a dependable linky service...

·         Since I host a sizable weekly party on my blog, I have been hoping for a linky service that is functional, dependable and easy-to-use. Linky Tools came on the scene and fulfilled my wish perfectly. Linky Tools functions beautifully and consistently. And the service is unbelievable! Brent has been lightning fast in addressing issues and questions. I had a request last week and within 10 minutes I had received an email saying, "It's done!". Now that's service! The best part is that Linky Tools goes beyond simply hosting blog parties with great tools like the Picture Caption Linky Tools and articles about Building a Better Blog. Clearly, the folks at Linky Tools know what bloggers need and work hard to provide tools that make our blogs better." - Kimba
