A Question about Blogging Netiquette

bDok · 2009-03-21, 06:07 PM

Is he just linking to you? Or are you two doing a link trade?

Maybe it's just me, but your post needs to be revised. The current state of the link structure that is occurring between blogs as well as what really is the question your looking to have answered is unclear.

Maybe someone has a decoder ring and can clue me in?

Sorry about that. I thought I made myself clear.
He wrote me to tell me that he is putting my (PR3) blog link on his (PR - NA) blog. I did not ask him to do so.
In situations like this where the other guy has no PR etc, I will offer to put his link on a lower PR blog of mine, one that is a 0 or 1. (That is if I don't know him. If I know the guy, I don't care, I'll put it on a PR3 if I like him.)
What I am worried about is the NA, not the low PR. I am worried that this blog has been sandboxed for some reason by Google. His blog has been around for some months and has several posts, and it looks like to me it should have been indexed already. And if I put his blog link on any of my blogs, it will hurt me?
So that is my question - will putting his link on any blog of mine hurt that blog, if his blog has been sandboxed?
Hope this makes more sense.

Id say thanks

a free backlink

Don't worry about the PR - its another route for SE's or people to find your site

Well it's not the PR so much as the blog possibly being sandboxed that worries me - I wonder if I were to link from my blog to a sandboxed blog do I get penalized - kind of like google cooties...
Hope I was clear enough about that in my second post.
But Dunc, you are saying just say thanks and don't bother to link back from any of my blogs at all?
Hope I am making sense, I am really really sick today and running a high fever - hopefully will not have to go to the ER - why does this always happen on weekends..
