The Great Neighborhood Link Post

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 6:27 pm

Being new to b5media , I wandered down the block to my neighbor’s blogs. I’ve always heard the b5folks are a very friendly bunch. I started with the

because I needed the fresh air. When I walked in, I was greeted by Duncan’s post on Blog Links Building Traffic and it lead me to a post on

where I could finish reading the original post where Duncan mentions the Weblog Empire Blog Link Exchange Forum.

Thinking I should visit at least one more neighbor before the day was over, I stopped by to see what had been going on this week at Blogging Tips at

Darren has been talking about receiving offers to carry links for payment on your blog and what you should consider before you do. While I was there I found two more links from his article on Hate Links.

These aren’t really about linking, but about not linking up with bad things.

Checking My Google Neighborhood

Google says I should link with my neighborhood, blogs that are relevant and related to my own in some way. I guess I just did. If you want to check who Google thinks your neighborhood is, go to Google Search and type in this search text.

related: [yourdomin.com]

Now I know who in my neighborhood I can visit next.

Making New Neighbors

If you’re looking for more links about links and linking you’ll find these worth linking, uh, looking , into:

Think Before You Link
Blog Promotion Basics for Everyone
Intra-Linking as Promotion
Think Before You Intra-link
Checklist for Linking to Quality Blogs

Got Another Link Post?

Of course, there’s always room for more neighbors to stop by here. So if you have a post on linking add it to the comment section of this post. We could start this massive chain of links to posts on linking–just for the fun of it to see where it goes.

    Liz, I keep following you around from neighborhood to neighborhood, and I’m getting worn out. This one looks nice… maybe you’ll get to put down some roots? :)

    Brian,
    I know even moreso how you feel. I’m staying in this neighborhood. No more moves. No more changes. I like this place. I’m home for good.

    Thanks for asking out loud. I’m sure that people have been wondering.

    I wasn’t born here, but I got here as fast as I could.

    Thanks for being patient and for sticking with me. It really means a lot.

    Liz

    Anybody know how we get an RSS feed for this blog? I am not very tech savvy and would really like to get updated info on this blog. Thanks!

    Hi Health Care Resources,

    That’s not good that you had to ask. My sincere apologies. The feed button is up, up, up at the top nav bar above the header. Just click that Orange button to subscribe to your favorite feed provider.

    There’s also a PAGE with the individual FEED URLs in the sidebar.

    smiles,
    Liz
