LINKING 101

Since I like FASHION,
using this picture of jewelry makes more sense then 
all the DNA circles many people use to try and explain LINKING.

LINKING DEFINITION

Linking in the most basic definitions is connecting to another website via an active web link. Using the jewelry up above, just imagine all the links being website.  As we link to each other, we become connected.  Many of us are small silver links in the chain; however, many of us with work, good content and some insight become the cool rocks in the chain! 


LINKING CREATES A PROFOUND CONNECTION

While reading many websites about linking I found this comment profound: 

"Linking creates a social connection. This is my favorite reason. For example when people link to me or I see any reference coming, I visit his/her blog which makes me aware of the existence of his/her blog, it makes me realize that he/she is a regular reader of my blog and I read other posts on his/her blog and if they interest me, I normally tend to subscribe to those blogs. This has two benefits, firstly my reading is increasing and secondly the readers of the other blog are increasing too, as the chances that I will link to that blog again in the future drastically increases."  *I added the italicized parts.

Watch me make an official link to Tejas Patel at http://geekswithblogs.net/tpatel/archive/2004/06 and see if we ever receive a link back!
