Link sets: one list of links, used by every recipe

A link set is a named list of the places you want linked to, with the wordings you want used and, if you like, how often each should appear. It replaces typing the same links into every recipe.

Find them at Reach → Content → Links.

Why bother

• One place to change a URL. Move a page and every recipe using the set follows on its

next run. Without a set you would edit each recipe by hand and miss one.

• Many wordings per destination. The same page linked as "emergency plumber", "24-hour

plumber" and "find a plumber near me" reads like three different people writing, which is the point.

• A split you can state. Give each destination a share and the placement converges on

those percentages over time rather than cycling in a fixed order.

Using one

On a recipe, choose the set under Link set instead of typing links. A recipe uses either a set or its own typed links, never both — two sources of links with a merge rule between them produces a distribution nobody can predict, and the whole point of a set is knowing what the split will be.

A set that is in use

You cannot delete a set a recipe still uses; the message names the recipes so you can point them elsewhere first. This is deliberate — deleting it would leave those recipes publishing articles with no links at all, which still costs you a generation and delivers none of what you are paying for.
