Mister Linky vs MckLinky

This is my second post about this Linky subject. If you would like to read the first set of pros and cons click here to read more!

Recently I decided to host a page that features all the "contest giveaway linkys." There are so many bloggers that host their own contest linky during different days of the week I wanted to compile them. I went through all of them and directly connected the url on many of these so that you can click through the list depending on what day of the week it is and it's a really fast process.

Like many of you I want to get the word out about my contest but I want to do it quickly. This is where Mister Linky is a better option!!!! I type in the name of my blog, prize, end date and tab to the next line to paste my direct contest url. What is so cool is that Mister Linky saves it and all I have to do is click enter on every single blog that uses Mister Linky because all the information is saved, talk about a time saver! For example:

Mister Linky's Magical Widgets

When I run into a blog that hosts MckLinky I usually skip over it until I have more time to type. MckLinky will save the url but I have to either paste the name in over and over or retype it. It doesn't have that same feature which is a shame. Call me lazy or call me efficient, lol. I like things to run like a well oiled machine.

There is also a fairly new linky called SimplyLinked and some bloggers use this method as a host. I don't mind this one either because like Mister Linky it will save what I have previously typed and all I have to do is hit enter. Check it out for yourself. If you have a contest to list try my page of links and see what you think!
