[Web4lib] delicious as site depository & getting stats

[Kozlowski,Brendon]

For SEO purposes, I would suggest not going with the default bit.ly created link, but create your own named, meaningful link.  You'll still get the stats, but not only will it be more readable for search engines, but anyone that actually looks at where the link is to send them (or those who maintain the links themselves).  Good luck!

Thanks to all who responded to my original post on this.  I think what
I've decided to do is go with the bit.ly option.  It'll mean changing a
bunch of links, and I'll still not have an accurate hit count (what if
someone just wanders across the Library's resources) but at least I'll
have *something*.

I think it's amazing that many people (from reading the delicious
blogs/suggestion pages) want this resource, but yet they're not offering
it.  Or maybe I'm just in a mood today...
