Your comment on marketing is very interesting - I saw Lorelle saying something similar on the back of your post there. I'm wondering if it has something to do with changes in the way customers look for signs of authority, credibility, integrity? Maybe willingness to connect (and be open) is one of those check points. Your comment has reminded me to update the link to your own site - it wasn't working last week, and I see now that it was due to massive popularity! The problems some people have to live with :-) Best wishes Joanna Dawud, thanks for stopping by.

What I've found in the blogosphere is that my readers do come back from links I've offered - and often commented. So, I guess we need to reevaluate marketing a bit, huh? Thanks for the link love. I'm writing for Lorelle for the next little stretch while she celebrates her two years on WordPress.

It was inspired in part by your reminder about telling a story when linking as one approach, so I have to thank you too.

I think knowing your link intention is key - it makes it worth the time, and enjoyable to write. For example, enjoying the feeling of gratitude when you link to someone who is generous and thoughtful with their comments :-) Joanna Jeanne, thanks.
