Adding More Links To My Blog

By September 7, 2009Change

logoAs a suggestion from a reader, I am adding more links to my blog.  My blog exposure has grown rapidly in the last six months and I want to use it for maximum impact for the purpose of Kingdom building.  Adding links will hopefully add exposure to other great blogs, as well as increase exposure to my work.  I am using the following criteria in adding new links:

  • I don’t want so many links that it becomes cumbersome to my readers.
  • The blogs need to be ones that I actually read regularly. If I put them on my personal blog I am somewhat endorsing them.  (I am not afraid to start reading something new, but I am looking for contain related to what I do, which means the blog should be related to things such as churches, ministry, leadership or family.)
  • They should be instructional or help people learn something practical or useful.  I am a purposeful reader of blogs. I really don’t read much just for fun.
  • They should be updated fairly often.  I don’t consider once a month to be often.  If it is only updated a few times a year, the posts better be really good.
  • I would prefer to link to people who are open to learning from others.  Those who don’t allow comments, don’t follow others on Twitter, and aren’t accessible don’t interest me as much, so I’m less likely to read their blogs.

Is there something I am missing here?  What other criteria should I use?

Are there blogs I should consider that I may not be aware of yet?

Please don’t be offended if I don’t link to you.  I don’t intend for it to be personal.  I am just trying to be obedient to what I’ve been called to do.
