Adding Skype Prime links to websites

By My status Andrus on June 19, 2007 in Skype Prime ideas.

If you search for joinskypeprime with any search engine you'll see a wide variety of places how and where people promote their Skype Prime services. Some add the calling link to a forum signature or forum posting, others add it to their blog or describe their service as a sort of classified ad. There are also those who have added a Skype Prime snippet to a blog or website. This looks more professional, but is a bit more difficult to add to forums.

So here's a tip how to make text links nicer. If you just copy-paste a Skype Prime link (you'll get it here) to a blog or forum posting it will not be a very click-inviting link. Consider http://www.skype.com/go/joinskypeprime?call&skypename=echo123. However, if html is enabled on a site, try adding it in the following format:

<a href="longlinkhere">Describe service here</a>

This way the long link above that starts the call to Skype call testing service can look nice and short like this.

There is http://primeskype.com/ - this site provide a directory of Skype Prime users, but it will provide more and more features for users in future.

Is there a limit of the description of a snippet? I have created a snippet to promote my new 'Skype Prime (Beta)' service, see http://www.palmtopman.com/contact.htm but you will see that the description is blocked out. I edit my webpages using Frontpage 2000 and copy/pasted the HTML from the snippet creation page. Thanks in advance.
