Default blogroll etiquette

Hi all,

I will keep this short since my last post had no replies .

What, if any, is the etiquette for adding another blog to your blogroll?

Do you just add them and they will see who is sending traffic their way? Should you send an email so they have the option of saying no? I would not be asking for reciprocity - I figure if they like my blog they can mention it or not.

Many thanks.

I normally put sites I have enjoyed and visited for awhile that relate to my blog niche. Sometimes I ask others to exchange links and so I send them an e-mail asking if they would like to exchange. I may add them anyway if I think they are a worthwhile blog.

I don't think anyone is going to turn down a link, especially when a reciprocal isn't requested. It's your site, you can add whatever you want to your blogroll.

Thanks for the comments. I figured everyone would love a link, but you never know. I try to assume nothing

I just add when I want.

If they use WordPress then they'll see new links on their dashboard. That's how I've found some new ones. Or they comb their stats and see a new face.

Add them in my opinion if you like them. No need for it to be reciprocal all the time... although it's nice. Should blogrolls have a limit? I often see like links to fifty blogs. A bit much, don't yall think?

I just updated my blogroll last night. I just add blogs that I like to read. I've never notified anyone that I'm adding them.

I normally keep a dozen or under on my blogroll. I keep extras on a link page instead. I don't need my sidebar to be a yard long with blogroll links.
