 * I want to make my “next post” and “previous post” links more obviously trackable
   in Google by appending something to them all, like “?NEXT”. The idea is to see
   how many people use ’em.
 * The code I have is here:
 * `<?php previous_post_link('<h5>&laquo; Previous post:</h5> %link', '<h4>%title
   </h4>'); ?>`
 * According to the codex page here:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post_link)
   I can do all kinds of things around the link, but I can’t see any way to actually
   change the link, or append the ?NEXT characters to the URLs.
 * Any ideas?
