Things I write that I think are complete crap get the most traffic, and things I personally liked writing and seeing posted get nothing. I started writing for me, so exposure is neither important nor unimportant to me. From the other direction, I link flagrantly and wildly all over the place, to whatever catches my eye, so at least I guess I am helping other people out :).

Whose idea was that?!! So what you are saying is that in life some people will like somebody else better than me, and life is not fair? Whose idea was that?!!

That’s not too bad. 85% of my stuff is crap.

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 22:50:38 +0000 http://www.snowflakesinhell.com/?p=7301#comment-35678 I must confess, I've got a list of blogs that I need to add. I think I'm just going to manually add them as a html widget. *lol* That said, I often wonder whether I should be linking to other blogs or not? I figure most of the blogs are more popular, and probably already read by my readers. So most of my content has been original content. Not sure on what the best etiquette is. I do try to give props to some of my favorite blogs (such as this one and MArooned, and many others). Heck, I even read Snowflakesinhell specially in my reader. (I read all the blogs with a post or two, then Snowflakes is the first of the big bloggers I read, because he was the first gun blog I started reading.) *lol* I must confess, I’ve got a list of blogs that I need to add.

Believe me, no one noticed. It's not worth the time it takes to clean it up. :) Ahab, I think I went 3 years without updating the blogroll. Believe me, no one noticed.

I really should just delete it, and then just link to blogs that I read every day anyway. Man, my blogroll is a travesty.

Just ask <a href="http://thebredafallacy.blogspot.com/2008/12/at-glance.html" rel="nofollow">Breda</a> about drama and controversy. Just make sure you put on the asbestos underwear first! Heh. Just ask Breda about drama and controversy.

If you add to the conversation, you at least can get an update. If it's a really good addition, it can be worthy of another post. Even if you disagree, you're more sure to get a link that way, actually, since the blogger will likely feel the need to defend his position. If it gets heated, even better. There's nothing that drives traffic like drama and controversy. Linking back with something to say in addition is the key. If you add to the conversation, you at least can get an update.

I don't often link back to more popular blogs because I figure if they've already covered a story there's probably not much point in me doing it. If I do cover the same story I usually will. Good stuff. Thanks! Thanks! I don’t often link back to more popular blogs because I figure if they’ve already covered a story there’s probably not much point in me doing it.
