I like the idea you have of showing a list of "resources" at the end of a post. It gives your readers the option of clicking or not. Link love is great, isn't it? Hi VagabondetteVA,

Yes, links can be over done. I like the idea you have of showing a list of “resources” at the end of a post. It gives your readers the option of clicking or not.

Link love is great, isn’t it?

I do think links can be over-done though. I recently read a post where almost every other word was linked to either internal or external information. It was very distracting. In that case I would have preferred that they had a list of "additional resources" at the end. I won't always click them, but they're nice to have there, just in case. As far as acknowledging the link, I think it's the polite thing to do (and in my experience it makes future links more likely). However, I think there are genuinely bloggers out there who have no idea - and don't know how to check - that people have linked to them. I've met people who have been blogging for years and didn't even know what a stats counter was. Personally I try to go back to any posts/blogs that link to me and leave a comment and at the end of every month I do a "Link Love" report with the top 10 non-commercial referring sites for the month previous as well as my 5 most popular posts for those who might have just wandered in and don't want to dig through archives. I'm a big fan of link love so I'll continue to practice it because I think it's just a nice thing to do.

That’s a good way of putting it. I’ve got to learn it first before I can teach it to others.
