Reindexing incoming links

Tempting, isn't it? One press of the key, and 20 blogs are reindexed at once. If you have run out of your allotted indexing for the day, it will cost you 20 chips. And is reindexing incoming really the optimum way to add value to your precious blog?

Here's an alternative method which I've found adds more value. Start at the bottom of the incoming links to the blog. As you go, report dead blogs, earning chips and sigma, and merge duplicate blogs. At the bottom of the list are often hiding valuable blogs which haven't been indexed for ages. And those bottom blogs quite often link to blogs further up the list. As you index up the list, the blogs further up gain value.

If you had reindexed the top blogs first, you would have missed the value added from the hidden treasures at the bottom!
