I generally link to people I like, regardless of whether or not they link back to me. However, if you specifically approach me about doing a link exchange and then proceed to “misplace” the link to my site, please don’t be surprised when, after a few weeks, I’m going to take you off my blogroll. I’m not all too concerned about driving traffic to my site (it’s just a little journal of a snot-nosed, struggling writer, geez, there’s lots of us out there, I’m not special), but people who blatantly try to use my modest readership as a means of promoting themselves, and only themselves, strike me as rude, narcissistic twits. Don’t approach me about doing a link exchange if you don’t plan on reciprocating.
kick his ass, seabass!
great work.
well I’ve already added you to my blogroll for the same reasons you’ve outlined, as well as one other individual in your blogroll whom i happen to enjoy reading. sarcasm rules and quick witted “snot nosed” journalists are always welcome on my blog listing 😛
