Link party statistics help bloggers and community hosts understand how much attention a party receives, how many links it contains, and which entries attract the most activity. InLinkz documentation identifies three core measures: impressions, verified or unverified links, and total link clicks. Its pricing information also describes limits on entries and simultaneously open parties, while directory tools add context through ratings, status, dates, and entry counts.

Core link party metrics
InLinkz documentation describes three core statistics for a link party. Together, they cover exposure, submission status, and response:
- Impressions count every time a link party loads.
- Verified links show how many submitted links have been verified.
- Unverified links show how many submitted links remain unverified.
- Total link clicks count all clicks received by submitted links.
The documentation says link party statistics appear at the top left of each party on the dashboard. An InLinkz blog description says a small graph icon identifies the statistics view for each link party. That placement makes the dashboard a practical starting point for a host checking activity without opening each entry individually.
The measures answer different questions. Impressions describe how often the party itself loads, while total link clicks describe activity on the submitted links. Verified and unverified links describe the review state of submissions rather than audience response. A party can therefore have many loads but relatively few clicks, or many submitted links while still having unverified entries. These metrics should be read separately because they do not represent the same event.
InLinkz documentation says an ideal link party has a high impressions number and a high total clicks rate. Those statements identify the platform’s preferred direction for two audience measures. They do not provide a universal benchmark or a specific target number. The supplied documentation also does not state a click-through formula, so no ratio should be inferred from these figures alone.
What impressions, links, and clicks mean
The word “impressions” refers to party loads in the InLinkz definition. It is a count of loading events, not a count of unique people. The facts supplied here do not specify whether repeated loads from one visitor are deduplicated, nor do they give a measurement period. For that reason, an impressions figure is best described as observed party loading activity rather than a unique-reach estimate.
The link-status figures describe submitted content. Verified links are submissions that have passed verification, and unverified links are submissions that remain unverified, according to InLinkz documentation. These values help a host see the state of the queue. They are not described as quality scores, traffic figures, or audience totals.
Total link clicks measure clicks received by submitted links. This makes the number useful for locating entries that attracted interaction, but the supplied facts do not define whether clicks are unique, how they are attributed, or what time window applies. Hosts should therefore retain the platform’s label when reporting the number and avoid converting it into a unique-visitor claim.
There are also several countable party details in the directory and details panel. The party details panel shows impressions and entries, with entries defined as the total number of submitted links. It also shows whether the party is a giveaway and displays opening and closing dates. These details provide a compact description of both reach and structure: loads, submissions, event type, and schedule.
Entry display and rating statistics
InLinkz documentation states that the default number of links displayed per page is 25. It also says the number displayed per page can be changed from that default. This setting affects how entries are presented, not the total number of entries in the party. A party with more than 25 submissions can still contain all of its links even when the first page shows the default amount.
The documentation lists three available thumbnail sizes: small, medium, and large. It also lists four entry-order choices:
| Display or rating feature | Options or rule |
|---|---|
| Links per page | Default of 25; the number can be changed |
| Thumbnail size | Small, medium, or large |
| Entry order | Oldest first, newest first, alphabetical, or random |
| Party rating | Five-star scale |
The ordering options serve different editorial and discovery needs. Oldest-first ordering preserves the original sequence, while newest-first ordering highlights recent submissions. Alphabetical ordering organizes entries by the available title or label, and random ordering changes the sequence without prioritizing age or alphabet. The supplied facts do not state how often random ordering changes or which field controls alphabetical sorting.
Creators can rate parties on a five-star scale, according to InLinkz documentation. Each entrant can submit a rating and change it later. Only the last submitted rating counts in the final rating. The summary rating is shown in search results under each blog thumbnail, and InLinkz Directory can sort link parties by average ratings.
These rules mean that the visible summary reflects the latest rating from each entrant rather than every rating submission ever made by that entrant. The supplied facts do not give the number of entrants, a minimum rating count, or a rounding method for the average. It is therefore useful to report the scale and the displayed average as platform information without adding statistical precision that is not provided.
Directory search and party details
InLinkz Directory offers several filters for finding link parties. It can filter parties by open status, future status, and opening day. It can limit results to giveaways, hide blogs already followed, surface parties with the most entries, and surface parties with no links yet. The directory can also include adult-content parties in search.
Advanced search accepts a party title query and a blog-address query. Those fields support two different discovery paths: searching for a named event and searching for a host’s address. The supplied facts do not specify whether either query supports partial matches, exact matches, or case-sensitive matching, so those behaviors should not be assumed.
The directory’s filters can be read as descriptive dimensions rather than performance metrics. Open and future status describe timing. Opening day describes the scheduled start. Giveaway status describes the party type. Most-entries and no-links filters describe the current submission count at the time of viewing. Hiding blogs already followed changes the result set for the individual searcher and does not change the party’s underlying statistics.
The party details panel adds more context. It shows impressions, entries, whether the party is a giveaway, and opening and closing dates. Entries represent the total number of submitted links. Because the panel combines counts with status and dates, it can help a reader distinguish a new party with no links from a closed party that once accepted submissions. The supplied facts do not provide sample parties or dated observations, so no trend should be inferred from these fields.
Host controls for analyzing entries
Hosts can view all submitted links for a party on the Entries tab, according to InLinkz documentation. They can sort entries by clicks to find the most popular link. They can also sort by submitted date, newest first or in the opposite direction. These controls let a host inspect both response and chronology.
Hosts can pin a link to the top of a party. They can filter entries to show only pinned links or only links requiring moderation. The entries view therefore supports at least three useful review states: the complete submission set, a curated pinned subset, and a moderation-focused subset.
InLinkz documentation also says hosts can export entries to Excel files and export entrants’ emails to Excel files. The supplied facts identify the export formats and contents but do not state the column names, privacy settings, or whether the two exports contain the same records. Email exports should consequently be treated as a separate operational dataset from the entry export.
Sorting by clicks can reveal the most popular link within the party, but “most popular” here follows the platform’s click-based ordering. It is not defined as the most shared, most commented on, or most visited page overall. Similarly, sorting by submitted date identifies sequence, not quality. Keeping those distinctions clear prevents a presentation statistic from becoming an unsupported claim about audience preference.
Plans, pricing, and capacity
The supplied InLinkz pricing information lists four monthly price points or account conditions. Free plan pricing is $0.00 per month, the Personal plan is $7.99 per month, and the Pro plan is $17.99 per month. Legacy accounts keep $2.99 pricing. The legacy price is described as an account condition, not as a general current-plan price.
| InLinkz plan or account condition | Monthly price | Entry or party capacity stated in the supplied pricing facts |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0.00 | Maximum of 50 entries per party; maximum of 2 parallel open parties |
| Personal | $7.99 | Unlimited entries per party; maximum of 3 parallel open parties |
| Pro | $17.99 | Maximum of 8 parallel open parties |
| Legacy accounts | $2.99 | Legacy pricing retained; no additional capacity stated |
InLinkz documentation says trial and free accounts are limited to 50 links per linkup. The pricing facts separately state that the free plan allows a maximum of 50 entries per party. Both descriptions point to a 50-submission limit in the free or trial context, while the Personal plan is described as allowing unlimited entries per party.
The free plan allows two parallel open parties. The Personal plan allows three, and the Pro plan allows eight. “Parallel open parties” is a simultaneous-capacity measure; it is different from total parties created over time. The supplied information does not state how many closed parties an account may retain or whether future parties count toward the parallel limit.
The Pro plan includes email providers integration and white-labeling. These are listed as included features, not quantified performance measures. The facts supplied here do not identify the email providers, describe the integration workflow, or define the scope of white-labeling. Those details should be obtained from current plan documentation before making an implementation decision.
Timing, ownership, and sharing
InLinkz documentation says that a party’s opening and closing determine its duration. No links can be submitted after a party closes. The opening and closing dates are shown in the party details panel, so readers can pair the schedule with the current status when evaluating a listing.
Party owners can add links even when a party is open or closed. This owner exception is distinct from the rule for ordinary submissions after closing. The supplied facts do not say whether owners can add links after every type of closure or whether other moderation conditions apply, so the documented distinction should be kept narrow.
Party owners can edit links from their dashboard or directly from their blog while logged in. Hosts can also use the share-code feature to show other participants where the party is hosted. These controls connect administration with discovery: editing changes the host-managed content, while the share code communicates the location of the event to participants.
For reporting, the clearest practice is to pair each statistic with its platform definition and the party’s displayed schedule. Use impressions for party loads, verified and unverified links for submission status, total link clicks for recorded link activity, and entries for the number of submitted links. Keep plan prices and limits labeled as InLinkz pricing information, and keep legacy pricing separate from current Free, Personal, and Pro plan figures.
