I'll be blogging about it soon.<BR/><BR/>Kate the editorial analogy is close to my way of thinking. <BR/><BR/>As for the cross-linking, I try to link back to everyone that links to me, but since good ole Blogger doesn't allow trackbacks, it's hard to catch all of them. And likewise, not everyone I link to can or even wants to link back. <BR/><BR/>Guess it's all in your personal preference as to how much importance you place on giving and receiving links.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1162458133659372852006-11-02T03:02:00.000-06:002006-11-02T03:02:00.000-06:00Anonymous: You are the MAN!

I was tickled to be part of your comment posting spree. <BR/>To top it off I don't think that anyone, ever, has said that anything I've ever done was 'awesomely perfect'. <BR/>Hooray! <BR/>I'll see if the content and the commitment of "Get Shouty" can keep up with your kudos.

Since you post on 20 different blogs, a few more good blogs means more material for posts!<BR/><BR/>Roger I think you should repost that question on your own blog, you'll get some interesting responses I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>IMO it's better to err on the side of link too much, rather than too little. <BR/><BR/>BTW we were talking about Seth, Seth can afford not to have a blogroll and not to allow comments, because he was known as a marketer and author before he started blogging, and because he's had his blog for 4 years. <BR/><BR/>For a new blogger trying to build their blogging brand, not linking to anyone is tantamount to blogging suicide. And besides, linking is a great way to build community and to bring other great bloggers to the attention of your readers.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1162343151833943932006-10-31T19:05:00.000-06:002006-10-31T19:05:00.000-06:00It's not a comments "spree" that I've been up to, ...It's not a comments "spree" that I've been up to, per se...but inspiring comment stuff nonetheless.

We exchanged 6 emails on the subject of:<BR/><BR/>"What are the protocols of linking other blogs?" (I felt like a teenage girl asking her mother how far to go on the second date.)<BR/><BR/>Mack gave me good advice on such topics as:<BR/><BR/>-- If someone links you, are you obligated to link them in return?<BR/>-- Does having a blogroll with 100 links cheapen it (compared to one with 10 or so)?<BR/>-- Is it "cool" or "cultish" to not link anyone?<BR/>-- At what point should you delete a link?<BR/><BR/>Thanks. -- Roger von OechAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1162330746090649082006-10-31T15:39:00.000-06:002006-10-31T15:39:00.000-06:00Will you PLEASE stop linking to new and interestin...Will you PLEASE stop linking to new and interesting blog that I must then subscribe to because I can't know they're out there and not read them. Jeez, already. <BR/><BR/>As far as commenting, I try my best to build it into my day. Sometimes I'll save things that I think I want to blog about but then find the best thing I can do is leave a comment. I actually find it more rewarding often to comment than to link to in a post of my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
