Response to Required Blog Reading: AttentionMax Posting “You’re Nothing Without a Link”

After reading this posting and learning through our own experiments with our invented word, it is clear that search engine optimization is a really important aspect of the linking process on blogs and websites alike. Obviously, you have to give credit where credit is due and in the age of internet blogs and news sources, the credit is given by linking the source page to your article or commentary. Nearly everything that is written in hard copy eventually finds its way onto the web and its common courtesy to continue the flow of information and help in the search engine optimization by linking all the affiliated sites to the necessary articles. It helps to keep the reader in tune with the necessary sources, stops them from having to begin an independent search for the source of the information and allows for the site to gain some credibility and the opportunity to link up with other credible sources. It’s only fair to ask up front that instead of simply mentioning a company’s name as a source, that the article instead be linked with the affiliated story. It allows the reader the chance to check out the original source and there is no harm in having more than one source contributing to the validity of a statement or story. It’s a win-win situation for all involved and should become a common practice in the industry.
