Getting Stumbled is a Good Thing
Jul 20, 2008 Blogging
I have seen many blogs that like to give out a bit of ‘link love‘ every now and then, just as I did the other day.
I was looking at my traffic log and noticed something interesting…the aforementioned post had been stumbled and was generating traffic. Wow…I’ve never had a stumbled post actually do what it was designed to do before!
That has me wondering, should giving out linkage be a normal thing for this blog?
I mean, the author of one of the posts I linked to returned the favor with a stumble, which does two things: 1) give my post more traffic and 2) gives his post more traffic from my site.
In business, we call this a win-win situation. If you are not doing this, why not? I believe I will be handing out links more often!
Just so you know, the post came from a great site that dwells in my RSS feed reader called Gather Little By Little. It’s a very inspirational site - on several different levels! Go! Read! Stumble! Enjoy!

Awesome, glad it brought you some traffic. Linking out also gets other bloggers attention which is good for you as well.
I agree, definitely a win-win! The Stumble was my way of saying thanks for the link.

Hey, thanks for stopping by.
Stumbling is a great way to help each other.

I think websites with quality content should get read by a lot of people. The best way to do that would be to link to them….
