links (dead and otherwise)

Just finished going through the blog links on this blog (cast your eyes to the column on the right for a moment to see the list).

You’ll probably not notice that the list is shorter by two names of folks who’ve stopped publishing a blog or just haven’t written in a long, long, long (you get the idea) while. Not looking to punish anyone but if they’re not writing what’s the point of the link?

Writing a blog is tough and at least one voice talent who dropped off the blogosphere acknowledged that writing a blog just wasn’t for him. I say kudos…one should only keep a blog if they want to keep a blog…sure it’s a great optimization tool in many ways but if you’re not churning out content (and readable stuff at that) or worse don’t want to churn out content then spend you’re valuable time elsewhere.

So while we’re on the subject, please make sure you:

a. Have a link to this blog (and the audio’connell web site if you like)
b. Advise me if I am missing your voice over blog on my list (my apologizes)
c. Have freshened up your blog list too
d. Mow my lawn and wash my windows (just kidding, unless you really, you know, want to)

  1. Hi Peter –
    I try to go through all the names on my blogroll every day or at least every other day. I use it myself so I’m assured that anyone else that stops by and clicks on the links are guaranteed to go to an active blog. I remove names once it appears they have stopped blogging.
    I also try to reply on at least one blog a day, not only as support for the blogging community but as a marketing tool to get my name out there.
    I’m still fairly new to the world of blogging and have yet to “find my voice” as it were, but am enjoying the experience so far.
    Keep up the great work on your blog. It’s a definite “must visit” imo.
