Linking: Does It Matter?
29 January, 2007
Linking is very important to make your blog posts more visible and to give people access to the sources of your information. Let’s break it down.
When you are inspired to write about something after reading someone’s blog, that person deserves to be thanked and his/her inspiration to be acknowledged. It’s a matter of being nice really – be nice and link to the person who inspired you.
Linking happens in other situations, too. When you want to point people to read something relevant to what you’re writing about, you use a link to guide them there. It is important that you provide people with these links because then they can verify your sources and use them on their own if they want.
You can use links in your posts very easily with Al Bawaba Blogs. Type your post and select the text that you want to represent the link (Tip: make this the title of the link) then simply click on Insert/Edit Link and write the URL that the link leads to. That’s how easy it is!
Linking to people’s blogs or to websites of different types shows people you’re a professional blogger. It also helps promote your blog because when you link to other blogs, the people who own them can usually tell and they might visit your blog too. On top of all that, linking makes people happy. Make someone happy today.
