Thanks, it's nice to see one of my blog directories is thought of so well.

And honestly, I think most blog owners make the exact same mistake. They are so intent on getting recips that they don't pay enough attention to the quality of what they are linking to. Even if you run a blog, your linking tells your surfer a lot about you. You can be a resource and the links you add to your site can enhance your surfers visit or you can just link to anyone and devalue your service to your surfer.

Yeah, we need to repeat that as often as possible. I'm registering a new domain this morning and I'm going to approach this one in a much more personal manner. Any site I link to will be a personal recommendation from me, not just a link trade.

I'm doing the same thing with my newest project. I'm not going to ask for or accept formal trades with anyone... I'll just link to whatever/whomever I like and leave it at that.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.
