The Value of Links

Why is it good to get a little leak from a major blog?

Do you really need an answer?

The other day I submitted a post for inclusion in Darren's (ProBlogger.net) writing project on Habit's of Highly Effective Bloggers*. He included a link to my post along with about 80 something others.

The link was shown on Saturday and my Unique Hits went up 50% and Page Views up 100% for the day. That shows not only the effect of having good solid links to other blogs, but that a good referral will allow more people to browse through your site.

The more exposure you get on other blogs increases the likelihood that you will get more visits and possibly more return visits if they like what they see. This is one reason I am such a big proponent of LLV, if you leak a link to someone else, they most likely will do the same for you.

What Comes Around, Goes Around... One Good Turn Deserves Another... What's Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander... Tit for Tat... (add your cliche here...)

Don't forget Blog-Tipping Day, June 1.

In Looking up the links, I found a referral on Darren's blog to The Retrospector** who compiled a list of the most popular habits. Some interesting results.
