Think about it for a second first, however, before dismissing the idea out of hand. I believe that helping other people achieve their goals, will help you with yours.
The ever imaginative David St. Lawrence at Ripplesl has now added publicizing some other blogs to his growing repetoire. David has so many great ideas, he should begin to export them, to help the balance of trade.
David's latest concept is called "Friends in Far Places". He will be highlighting some of his favourite blogs every week, in that special feature.
It is my belief that David's generosity, shown by his selfless desire to share other blogs, will return to benefit him as well.
You can do the same thing as David St. Lawrence. You can feature your favourite blogs too.
Tell others about your favourite stopping off spots.
You may be reading a blog that many of your current readership has overlooked.
Perhaps a new blog has caught your eye, that you would like others to read too.
Maybe you added a new blog to your list of blog links, on your links directory or blogroll.
Be generous in your linking to other blogs, and readers will find their way back to your blog too.
