Blogging is More Than Just Writing Posts

A couple of days ago I wrote about a paid to click program and within a very short period of time another blogger sent me a heads up (thanks John!) that Google doesn't like these types of programs promoted on blogs even if the blog itself has nothing to do with the program other than having a referral link.  I decided to not take any chances to removed the banner and link in the post but I left the name of the program in case anyone is interested in checking it out.  This type of heads up from another blogger is a perfect example that blogging is more than just writing posts.  As a blogger you become a member of the blogging community.  You interact with other bloggers through forums, comments, social networking, blogging advertising networks and email.  You form friendships with other bloggers.  So it really is a wonderful support system where bloggers help other bloggers.  If you see a problem on a blog it is nice to let the blogger know.  This type of pay it forward makes for a stronger blogging community aka blogosphere.  For the most part bloggers are a very friendly and supportive group.  Oh sure as with any community there will be a few bad apples but for the most part those tend to get weeded out over time. As bloggers we all make mistakes from time to time.  It's nice to know that we aren't in this alone though.  It goes without saying always thank those bloggers who help you with a link to their blog and don't forget to pay it forward.
