What can blogging do for me?

Perhaps I've got it all wrong here but I never look at my link partners as traffic leaks. I prefer to think that for whatever reason, the surfer was at my site and read what he wanted and bookmarked so he can return at a later date, in which he is leaving to go to one of my link partners which makes my trade even more valuable to my partner.

Or, I failed to interest him and he's clicking away to find what he really is looking for again making my trade even more valuable to my partner.

Either way, its a win - win situation and it makes it easier for me the next time I approach my link partners looking for other link trades.
