I´m not very crazy about Google reader and so I keep looking on my own blog to check up with the others. On the other hand my policy in my blogroll is "I keep you, you keep me!". I´ll drop other bloggers if they don´t return the linking. Of course I made an exception with The Sartorialist ^^ (and other very famous bloggers) I´ve seen my blogroll as a collection of blogs I like to read.

I add blogs that I like to read and hope and pray that someone will eventual put me on their blog roll. One has--some notes on napkins! Yea! It’s super interesting to see what other people think.

I don't add blogs to my blogroll just because they added mine, because if I did I'd be linking to a load of spam blogs and free content re-posters.

If I in turn like their blog, I'll usually add it to my "roll". I have to admit to being easily swayed by a well-designed blog, but content is always the big one. Interesting, thoughtful, unique content is difficult to make, but that's what brings people back at the end of the day. In blogging, people relate to people and unique content comes from a person. Like Tricia, I do think a link in a post is usually much more valuable in more ways than links elsewhere on a blog. It's difficult to get links on blogrolls, especially on the more well-established blogs who are really much more free to pick & choose who they link to, but it's doubly difficult to get links in a post from a bigger blog. And really, that's where content comes in because if you write a post worth linking to, people will be more likely link to it. The blogroll is important certainly and I occasionally like to just blog surf from one to another using the blogroll, but in terms of getting offended if someone doesn't link back to me from a blogroll, I usually don't. A great blog takes time and effort to build and wasting time getting offended by small things like that is pointless. At least, that is my way of thinking!
