Looks closer to Frank Zappa to me.
Music should perhaps be Peaches en Regalia.

In any event, great post as usual, providing one more arrow in the job seeking quiver.

Eric-Thanks for taking the time to look into the erroneous links previously posted on your site. I also ran an expanded search to verify that you're now scraping all current open positions from dealertire.com (excluded the 44114). Linkkup is now live with our jobs. woohooo.

For your 2nd point, I'll take that up with Indeed peeps tomorrow. That's busted, bro.

For your point 3 "Verified 1 Hour Ago", don't go gettin' legal on my ass. Verified means verified. If you want to place fine print under the text on YOUR site that says "Verified 1 Hour Ago", that's cool. I know what verified means to me, and following that old link was definitely not verified.

Thanks again for the follow-up to my rant. I appreciate Karla hunting you down, and your timely response. We'll begin to track and validate numbers from your site (to the extent we're able), and I'll keep your contact info handy if needed.

Hi Frank,

First, the jobs are now updated on LinkUp.com - http://www.linkup.com/results.php#l=44114&c=Dea... - if you (or anyone) ever has any issues with the site or sees that we're displaying any outdated information, feel free to email support@linkup.com or call my directly at 952-277-4539. I'm a tech-guy, so you won't get any sales pitches from calling me. My job is to make sure that the site meets all the needs of employers and jobseekers, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

Second, for your search against Indeed (http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=company%3A%28Deale...), they show only 9 of your jobs while we show 13. Also only 1 of those 9 goes straight to your site, the others go through Monster & JobFox before a jobseeker is actually able to get to you.

Finally, when we say "Verified 1 Hour Ago", we mean that the link we're using still works - which it did. You had previously partnered with a 3rd party service to help spread your job openings (you can see that feed at http://bit.ly/c8XAuK). You may want to contact that provider to make sure that you aren't missing out on jobseekers who happen across your old job listings on other sites.

If you have any questions, you can call me at the number above or email me directly - eric@linkup.com.
