Let’s see, now, how to create your first link party!
Create a party!
From your dashboard, click on the “Create new party” board.
If it’s your first party, you need to set your timezone. This is a process you need to do only once.
Now, let’s organize your party!
- Pick a name! This will be displayed on your dashboard together with a list of all the link parties you have made.
- Set your Terms & Conditions and let your quests know about your rules, prizes or other prerequisites. This field will be visible on your blog just before the entries.
- Choose the type of the party you want to create· images with caption or only images. Here is how the two types will be displayed on your blog:
Image with caption
Only image
4 and 5. Set the opening and the closing date of your party. A party opens for link submissions at the date and time set in the “Opening Date” field and closes when the “Closing date” is reached.
Here is how your link party will look on your blog before it opens:
Between the opening and the closing date, the widgets will display on your blog an “Add Link” button:

The number of the submitted links of each party are displayed on the left top edge of each party board.
To manage these links and have access to all the useful information about them, click on the “Manage party links” button.
It will direct you to a new page where you can:

B. Check the guests clicks per links and
C. Check the time they submitted a link
From this point, you can also visit the current party (D) and sort the links, for your convenience (E).
InLinkz dashboard
Now, back to the Inlinkz dashboard.
A really useful feature in new InLinkz is the party sorting option, especially when you have created a lot of link parties. There are three different ways to sort out your parties on your dashboard: you can select to be displayed only the scheduled (A), the open (B) and or the ended parties (C).
Once your first guest submits a link, a “GUESTS” page (D) will be shown up to your dashboard which will provide you with all the useful information about your active guests.
Guests page
This is the most important field of your link party, since you can gather useful information about your guests, like:
A. their email address which you can make good use of it for your blog’s emailing list.
B. the total number of links they have submitted to your parties.
C. the time they submitted their last link and
D. their overall activity to all of your parties. Read more below.
For your convenience, you can export this data in an excel file (E), so you can easily use your guest’s emails for your blog email list.
All results can be sorted again by the number of links or by the latest submission.
Guests activity
If you click on the “Activity” button, you can see the overall guest’s activity to your parties.
Specifically, you can:
A. check all the links he/she has submitted
B. check the number of clicks he/she has got
C. open the specific party he/she submitted a link
D. visit the link
E. sort this data by link title, the latest link or the clicks it got
F. block this guest by clicking on the yellow button on your footer. You can undo this action anytime.
Settings
On the right side of your Inlinkz dashboard, if you click on the little arrow beside your email, you have access to your profile settings as well as your blog(s) information.
You can edit your profile details from here and
you can also manage your blogs data. You have the option to declare more than one blog URLs.
Once you add them, a delete option will be available as well.
Enjoy your party!!
