Altos Research does their typically stellar job hosting this weeks Carnival of Real Estate.
Some great reading to be found here.
I do wish they'd share the link love and provide direct links back to the recommended entries though. I don't get the funky re-directs (or whatever they are). Can someone explain it to me?
The Carnival is on a break for July 4. But it'll be back the following week.

can someone explain it to me too? We made the mistake of choosing an obscure blog server a couple years ago and haven’t had to cojones or time to change everything over since then.
I’ve always been baffled by trackback tracking…randomly trackbacks work from our posts. I have no idea why the blog software formats the links that way. I /think/ you get the link love, though, despite the way the links are written. Don’t you? Damn, I hope so. We certainly don’t use nofollow on the links.
will investigate further.

Hey Mike - One of the things I like about WordPress is that trackbacks just work — I do nothing, and they work.
I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out trackbacks on TypePad blogs. See my post “OK, So I’m an Idiot. I Don’t Get Typepad Trackbacks”
I tried to get this post to trackback to you - no go even with my manual attempt. I see no one else that has linked to your Carnival results are showing up as trackbacks either.
As for the link love, I’m not so sure it is shared. There’s no indication in my WordPress “dashboard” whenever you link to me, and I just looked at Technorati and can’t see it either. Maybe Google can tell… I’m not familiar *at all* with your blog provider, so it’s a mystery to me how it’s doing things…
But, life isn’t all about link love. Altos is a *great* blog — it’s the content that counts, not the link love…

I am wondering if the Altos blog was never claimed on technorati. That would explain why it is not showing up on your dashboard. Or is it now.
