Got somestamps to zero broken links but it will take me a few days to upload all of the clean pages. Began adding linked content about all articles for a country in every article of that country. Linked Content: Argentina / China / Cuba / France / India This content has the same links as the respective country page minus styling and can be easily added to a blog or as bottom links to a page, which I have done for all articles of these countries. |
