Weekly Links
Published September 14th, 2007 in Links, UncategorizedIt’s been a busy week here (with more than 40,000 visitors in 4 days) and with all the new subscribers I wanted to point out a few things. First, this blog uses the DoFollow Plugin to remove nofollow tags from links on comments. I value your participation, so I am happy to give a real link to those who comment. Your feedback is always appreciated.
Also, on weekends I post weekly links, which include links to several readers who have been commenting that week. So please participate and I’ll try to reward you for it.

Hey thanks for linking to your guest post! :c) Looks like some great reads, need to roll up my blogging selves and check them out. Have good weekend everyone. Enjoy the end of summer/early fall.
Thanks for letting me guest post. Enjoy your weekend as well.
Steven,
Thanks for the links and for the mention of my current contest. I appreciate it. Happy blogging!
No problem Tay. I probably shouldn’t mention the contest if I want to win, but I couldn’t do that to you
I enjoyed your guest post at Bluejar! Going to read your other guest posts later. =)
Neat. You’ve been added to Jerry’s DoFollow Search Engine
Thanks for submitted your blog and best of luck!

Very innovative, something I haven’t heard of before – it seems like a win-win for all. I’ll try that on my blog…thanks for the links too!
Thanks for the mention! Time is running out for posting links to their best post… I’m about to write the post now!
Felix,
Thanks for your feedback on the guest post. I’m glad you liked it.
Matt,
Thanks for the inclusion in the search engine.
Karthik,
I think it is a good practice since it helps everyone, and links are always appreciated.
Matt,
You post of links has some good stuff on there and I’ve only gotten to a few of them so far. Thanks.
thank you for sharing some good articles to us. I appreciate it ! I had given some comment on their articles too
Domdat,
Thanks for visiting, I’m glad you liked the articles.
hey, thanks for the collection. Those are sweet articles. Nice blog you have here and congrat on the ranks.
WarriorBlog,
Thanks for reading and I’m glad you enjoyed the links.
Glad to have helped out. So would you say it was a successful blogging event?
Adam,
Yes, I would say it was successful from my perspective. I don’t think it brought a ton of traffic that wouldn’t have come otherwise. But it did give each of us links from 4 other blogs throughout the week and some exposure to new readers. It really didn’t require much additional work. We all probably would have written the same articles if they weren’t part of the series (since we all post on a consistent basis), so all we really had to do was coordinate a little bit. John (from SiteFever) had the suggestion of reporting stats from the series at the end of next week, which I think we’ll do. I think it’s something I would try again in some way or another. If nothing else it’s a great networking opportunity with other bloggers.
Interesting on the nofollow, I like the idea of rewarding only the best commenters to avoid comment spam
I haven’t really had a major issue with spam comments, so I haven’t needed to do that. Thanks for your input!
I’m really enjoying your “Weekly Links” posts. I’ve added your list to my RSS.
Thanks for the enjoyable read!
