Information Placement

Recently I found a site that did a good job of explaining some tips on how to make money on the web using such things as surveys, and other paid to do sites. I was so interested in what I found that you know I wanted to put it on my blog for my faithful readers. So I did what every smart blogger would have did at this point. I emailed the author asking him if I could exchange links, or maybe if he or she was up to it, we could post about each others page, in order to exchange traffic and ideas. The author emailed me back asking what was the name of my blog. After I emailed him the name, he emailed me once again telling me that he had also found some interesting information on my site and that he fealt he would return to view my site on occasion. At this point I was excited. More traffic, more faithful readers, more pro bloggers veiwing. Looks nice right? Very nice except it all turned out to be tha exact opposite. As I focused once again on the email and read some more, I found that the author had continue on to explain that he only writes on occasion, and that he was not sure how and where to place information about my blog on his page. It kind of shocked me because his page was so well written. None the less, I am only here to help my fellow Bloggers and internet authors create a better internet community. With that said, a few pieces of advice. If one is trying to exchange links, he or she should first create a side bar, where they can place links to all information on their site. If you are a blogger, most layouts already come with this intact. Once that is done, create a area in that side bar strictly for links to other sites that you as a author enjoy reading. All that is left to do is add the links. As for posting about ones site, really all the author needs to do is find common information connecting the two pages or blogs, which in this case would've been, "creating a money stream using blogs, or webpages". Then write about the highs of that persons blog or page, and include the address. With that said happy blogging and lets continue to better our community.
