It helps encourage interaction with the content on the page, therefore encouraging an in depth understanding of the content in the post. I personally have three or four blogs that I place at the top of my feed reader. When there's a new post on one of these sites, I'll read it right away and try to add one comment to the post, if it's something I'm interested in. <em>Erica DeWolf's last blog post..<a href='http://ericadewolf.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/email-marketing-effectiveness-link-love/' rel="nofollow">Email Marketing Effectiveness: Link Love</a></em> Great post, I agree that the Top Commentators Widget is extremely effective.

That's why I end up with a very long blog roll, many of which I haven't visited myself for months. Haha. I better clean my blog roll. <em>Gian Paolo's last blog post..<a href='http://gianpaolosamson.blogspot.com/2008/02/1000.html' rel="nofollow">1000</a></em> Problem with me is that I, most of the time, cannot say ‘no’ to those who ask for link exchanges.

I'm having a lot of strangers converted to blogger friends and now becoming my online business associates. It's really good. The traffic is superb as well.

Can you do a post that is not blog related? A post that is related to websites, not just blogs. One, at least? Thanks. I like the points that you detailed in this post, but it is all blog related.

I think that these long posts are somehow difficult to track. Shorter and stronger posts are needed. Such a long post. I think that these long posts are somehow difficult to track.

I don't believe in begging for links. I quite prefer networking, emailing, doing guest posts, adding to the discussion through comments, and that sort of thing, as it makes me a contributor, as opposed to just trying to "take". Additionally, with respect to blogrolls, having one has its ups and downs. For example, some bloggers reciprocate link love. However, sometimes when other blogs list your blog on their link list, they then expect you to do the same, and sometimes the quality of their blog is not high and so you wouldn't want to link to that. On the other hand, sometimes people love the fact that they can click through your site to some great blogs - in a way your blog also has a directory function to it. But it's best to try to not make the list too long if you're considering blog design and functionality etc. Networking sites like Facebook and MyBlogLog have also made it easier to socialise online with top bloggers, so there really are options when trying to rub shoulders with the big guys. By the way Jason, I came across your blog from reading your guest post at John Cow. Go figure! :) <em>Karel - Caribbean Public Relations's last blog post..<a href='http://www.caribbeanprblog.com/archives/2008/02/20/recognising-the-value-of-magazines-as-media-channels-the-disconnect-with-corporate-communicators/' rel="nofollow">Recognising the value of magazines as media channels - the disconnect with corporate communicators</a></em> Great post.
