Speedy-Slow: Linking Out

Being subjected to the latest linking kindness by The Fantastic Lord Matt, reminded me again that I can do a better job linking to other bloggers.

In the past I have have attempted to do so via speed linking or as some may call it slow linking. Not finding a way to link out in a manner that not only would please the ego of recipients of such links but also would provide some good insight to my readers, I have completely abandoned such attempts. I t should be mentioned that the fear of doing nothing else but writing these “speed/slow linking” posts kept me from attempting to find my own way of linking out to other bloggers. So todays post is an attempt for me to (re)discover my own way of linking to other bloggers. So there we go…..

  1. Do You Have An Amazing Affiliate Program?– Scott lays it out for every one for easy understanding that some affiliate programs along with their incentives a are bunch of crap. If you are an affiliate manager this is definitely one of those articles you can not afford to miss.
  2. Top 11 Reasons NOT to Link an A list blogger– the title says it all. Don’t waste your time and effort to link to blog that is more known and popular that your own, even if it has some relative information that your readers may find useful. Great job Lucia!
  3. ReveNews Goind WordPress– Welcomed announcement that affiliate blog of affiliate blogs is switching to WordPress. Movable Type really stinks when it comes to commenting/trackbacks/pingbacks if youa re considering it for a platform for your own blog learn from other’s mistakes.
  4. Another BlogRush Post- Don’t Puke– In the attempt to cut down the spam on BlodRush 10,000 bloggers were kicked out. Unlike Josh I have signed up for BlogRush, only to get nauseous when the “Shocking Changes” were announced.
  5. Jason Calacanis Under Fire By A Supper Affiliate– Jim asked Jason some tough questions, I hope there will be a Q&A session with Jason at Affiliate Summit.

These are not the only blogs I read but for some reason I really enjoyed the posts above.

  1. Thanks for the link Vlad and the reminder! Finding posts on the topic in which I plan to write is the most difficult thing for me as a blogger. I want to give as much link love as possible, but I want to write about whats on my mind at the time. That means when I have an idea, I dig into the blogs I regularly read (yours included) looking for posts on the topic.

    In many cases it takes ALOT of time, but it's worth it in the long run.

  2. I enjoyed this post too! Right now, I'm buried and both your links post and Lord Matt's got me to find things I wanted to read. (How can I resist reading a headline with both “Blogrush” and “Puke” in it? 🙂 )
