[...] Hare Krishnas Reveal the Secret to Massive Link Love and Mega Sales (Jonathan Fields): Give and you shall receive. Jon makes a brilliant analogy to how when Hare Krishnas give you a flower, they subconsciously are programming your mind to give them a donation. Likewise, in blogging, give something before requesting anything. The more you give, the more rewards you reap. [...]

Jonothan,
Excellent post. Your article on Freelance Switch linked to your blog so here I am, and I just couldn’t help but read this post. Who doesn’t want to know a “secret”?
I especially enjoyed seeing the truth in your words, as a digital media student and a part time sales assistant I can see the application of these theories in several instances. I hadn’t thought of my sales as “gifting time” before, but if you make people feel like they are really getting something from you, it is very true that they are more likely to give back. Even if it is just a thank you!
A very engaging post, definitely food for thought.

Thanks,

Anthea

[...] 3. Link out A great way to get notified and to get links. And I’m not talking about trackbacks, but about real links without nofollow. It’s not only a way to show your readers what kind of stuff you’re reading, but the bloggers you’re linking to also watch their incoming links thanks to Technorati and to their WP Admin. By linking to them, they will notice you and might even link to you. [...]

@ Neena – I agree, as a new blogger, it does take some time, plus if you are linking to big bloggers, they get so many other links, it’s often hard for you to rise above the chatter. But, I think if the links are high quality, the link-text is highly-relevant and those bloggers get a bit of traffic from your links then, over time, they’ll begin to see who you are and appreciate your efforts.

@ ms – I’ve heard this a lot and I am sure a lot of people experience it, but I have to say, as a relatively new blogger, I’ve gotten only respect and a number of links.

the problem is about the professional ones – they don’t smile back, and they never buy your laughs – and the problem is they have the links that matter. Your own frinds smiling back doesn’t matter, the guy who matters is on the other side of the table. And sadly, he doesn’t smile back (but his secretary can!)
