Link popularity is very important if you want your website to rank high in any search engine.,~~

The badge does look pretty good – and yes, point taken about the badge and the reader widget both being present in some blogs, personally I feel its a bit excessive

You’re welcome Mohsin – like I always say, it was an article worth linking to

I like to connect things up when I make the link love post, rather than simply stacking them up as a list and honestly, a fair amount of time and effort goes into each of my link love post to make it interesting enough for my other readers too.

Ultimately, they are not links that I slap up just for the sake of doing a link love post and keeping my “active” readers happy – they are meant to be a resource that really helps you learn something new. I am lucky in a way to have readers who make such excellent posts too!

And I’m glad you appreciate it, thanks for visiting!

Thanks for linking Karthik! BTW nice way of doing a ’speed-linking’ post.

@Steven and John
You’re welcome – they were articles well worth linking to!

@Monika
“cyber hug” – now that’s an interesting coin, did you coin it yourself? I’ve not heard of it before – if its been doing the rounds for sometime, pardon my ignorance, its not very popular under a certain rock I was living under
And yes, I’ll certainly give it a try and let you know how it came along.

@Sumesh
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll keep an eye out for bugs. Just for the record though, ‘br’ doesn’t have a closing tag, unless you mean ‘/>’. ‘br’ is simply used as >br /< in XHTML, with the angle brackets reversed of course. Or did you mean something else totally different?

@All
Thanks for visiting and reading!

Thanks for the link, and am still going through other links.

One thing – be careful about WLW – it renders invalid code which is very dirty – like no closing tag for li, br etc. I’d recommend that you look for another writer (I’ll soon post a review of the one I am using) until WLW fixes the issue.

Hi Karthik,

Thank you for your cyber hug. I bet you will love the Live Writer as much as I do. Another bonus is the fact that blogging is now so much quicker and easier, because I don’t have to spend my time anymore trying to format by hand.

I shall look forward to seeing your thoughts on it.

Cheers
Monika

Thanks for linking me. It wasn’t quite my idea but I’m glad you like the badge. Also, for the record, I have seen blogs with both the badge and faces
