What Latino Bloggers Need To Do, Part I - Linky Link
This is the first post in a series of posts called "What Latino Bloggers Need To Do." I'll write more of what this series is about in another post (part II?), but for now we will just get on with the show. So, here we go with the first part of What Latino Bloggers Need To Do
...link to one another, read one another...just like you complain that others are not doing for you, is exactly what you need to do.
On my RSS feed I may have 30 some odd latino blogs -- more to add -- and I am surprised of the lack of linking amongst them, even the exclusion of some by others. One of the problems is that some bloggers feel that if they link to someone then they'll lose traffic to that very blog they are linking to. But, guess what - Latino blogs are no longer hard to find! You'll lose 'em anyway (or gain more). I lost traffic that way, but it's for the greater good and I don't care about such pettiness. Even by losing traffic, this blog remains one of the best known (yes, I patted myself on the back). Can't we all be friends?
Sometimes, I am surprised by the surprised reaction of a blog that I link to. And I am like...well, it's a good post - that's why. Ironically, I am even more surprised that the very blog that I link to reads my blog and they never link here. I find out that they read here by way of my link to them, and their email or comment saying thank you. And that's a problem; we don't support each other. Boo-hoo "...don't cry for me Argentina."
So, folks...linky, link. Wink, wink.

Well alright.
I could not agree more. We need to act in a mature manner and that means cooperating and assisting each other. Cross-indexing is good for everyone and anyone who wants to be lone wolf will lose out. We are a community!
