Sex Blog Tip
Spanking Blog has a long post up full of adult blogging tips — although many are applicable to all sorts of blogging, and not just to sex blogs. I wish more people felt this way:
Be very wary of negotiated link exchanges. If somebody has already linked to you, and emails you to ask for a return link, try to give their site a fair look. It’s polite to reciprocate, but not fair to your surfers if the site sucks. However, if someone emails you about an “exchange of links”, but hasn’t put your own link up yet, they are telling you “I don’t think your site is good enough to link to, but I’ll do it anyway if you’ll link to me first.” Screw that. Half the time, even if you do put up the link, they never reciprocate. But the important point is: they don’t respect you enough to link to you. They only want your return link. Again, screw that.
What he said, once again with feeling: “Screw that!”

As a webmaster with 9 sites, I totally agree with that!
I get emails all the time wanting linkage, but not until I link first!
No way will that happen!
If you have a website, remember this.
and then there’s the little folks like me with a nice unassuming little site who links to what she likes, so readers with similar tastes can share her discoveries…
