Ok, so my link train article (or “death to link trains”) was extremely successful and I thought I could do a bit more for the cause. So, why not create a button to show support? Now in all fairness to not “steal” PageRank popularity from others, I am making this button available in a few different ways.
So, what can this button do? Well, the button itself shouldn’t be doing anything unless you have a vivid imagination. The button should be posted on your website or blog to show your commitment to stop useless link trains! If you feel the same way as I do, please post it on your site! The best part of this deal is, you don’t have to give me any credit! Yes, that’s right…not only is this button free, but it’s got no strings attached :). As for where you can put the button…well, put it anywhere you feel you should. I’d appreciate any help getting the word out there, so please send this button to other people or get people to download it here, or wherever. Even if you want to host it on your site and ask people redistribute it, go for it! Let’s work together to end useless link trains for the readers out there!
If you want, I am linking one button to my “death to link trains” article so if you think people don’t understand what a link train is, they’ll have a point of reference. As for the other two buttons, one is just going to be posted here so you can right click and do a “save as…” and just post it onto your site, and the other button will be hosted on my server so you only have to put some HTML code on your website for the button to show up.
Here is the code to put the regular button on your site:
![]()

And here is the code to put the linked button (linked to the “Death to link trains” article) on your site:

<a href=”http://joemidway.com/2007/08/01/blogging/death-to-link-trains/” title=”Death to link trains”><img src=”http://joemidway.com/images/nolinktr.png” alt=”Death to link trains” style=”border: 0;” /></a>
Well that’s it! I hope you enjoy it and spread the word!

Haha! Very good. I started a “death to memes movement” sometime ago as I was getting sick of being asked to participate. It worked — I am rarely tagged for one these days.

Great article Matt, I enjoyed it! Selfish publicity stunts
