Generosity and Reciprocation

At a time when people are being very generous with Katrina victims, I thought we would post something more basic about generosity and how it will come back to help you on the web. Not to compare web traffic to a hurricane disaster. Just talking about generosity in light of so many people giving to help people. If you have a blog or website, you can link to people. It may be a blogroll or it may be mentioning them in an article. This is a generous thing to do, because most people post to the web to get noticed and read. Links also increase search engine popularity. Once people start clicking the link, the website you are linking to will probably notice the number of referrals coming though. Most likely the owner will check out your site and they may mention you or link to your site. You may also send them an email and let them know about a post that refers to them.
