There’s a delightful post about linking strategy this morning from Monica at Easy Wordpress:

… you can use incoming links to give back to those who clearly favor you and your blog. Here is what I do and it is fun …

She outlines the ways in which one can show gratitude for an incoming link. Since reciprocal links are potentially counter-productive, she suggests that one should instead Stumble, Zoom, Sphinn & Twitter their post in gratitude. And of course, you could simply drop them a friendly thank you email.

She has lots of other ideas for link loving, and her post is a nice reminder of the value of gratitude.
