Blogroll: On A Cleaner Note
It’s such a relief to know that I am done cleaning my blogroll. It’s not an easy peasy lemon squeezy task to go through an entire list of blogs just to see who’s linking back to my blog and not.
There was this time when I received so many exchange link requests. That was maybe, a couple of years ago. Trying to be as friendly as possible, I accepted almost every request for as long as they [other bloggers] would be willing to keep their end of the bargain. Most kept my blog’s link in their blogrolls alive which was such a delight to know.
The exchange link requests kept coming until eight or six months ago when I would only get two or three per month and at times, none at all. The decrease in number of inquiries did not come as a surprise. I knew it would take place.
Just a month ago, for the very first time, I made the decision to clear my very cluttered blog list. I did it alphabetically to make sure that I wouldn’t miss any blog on my list. A letter or two per day and just days ago, I was finally done.
It was such a surprise to find so many blogs which weren’t linking back. It was a tedious job to check the blogroll or their badge exchange pages. To find out that my link and/or badge was deleted was annoying and disappointing.
There were also a number of dead links --- blogs that no longer exist. I checked then rechecked one more time just to make sure that the blog had already been deleted from the internet before I took them out of my blogroll.
Now that my blogroll’s on a cleaner note, my aim is to keep my blogroll tidy for the rest of its existence. I will check the links again before the year ends.
I have to add that there are a few links in my blogroll which I don’t expect to link back. These are blogs that I’ve freely chosen to be added simply because I soooo like them.
To those who have kept my blog’s URL in their blogroll/s [blog list and/or badge exchange page] all these years, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
If ever my blog is still listed in yours and that I’ve deleted yours from mine, my apologies. I don’t intend to do so. Please, do give me a buzz so I can add you up again.
To those who are interested to exchange links with this blog, feel free to leave me a comment.

Hi Maxi! :*
ReplyDeleteThis is something I need to do on my blogs when I get time. I know some are linking back and there are those that are dead links, too.
But there's no way you're being left off despite the fact of your increasingly blugging ways over the last two years. LOL!
See ya later my blugging friend! ;) :)
Hello Dhemz. Oo. Nagfind-time jud ko to clean my blogroll. Too many dead links... I was surprised. HOpe ikaw pud maka-find time to clean sa imong blogroll. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit :) Hugs!
Thank you Gagay for keeping my blogs in your bloglists/blogrolls. I really super appreciate it :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Top commenters? Yipee! Will check it out! Thank you Gagay :)
ReplyDeleteHello my blugging friend David. With your very busy schedule, I know that it is going to be difficult for you to clean your blogroll. Yes, some stopped linking back and there are lots of dead links, too. You'll be surprised.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thank you for letting me know that my blogs are still in your blogrolls. Yipee! Yes, I've been blugging you for more than two years now. Yayks! Many years to go!
See you later, too! Take care! :)
Hi Maxi, I just checked, you are still in my blogroll and your button is still on my blog, but I am not surprised, I have to follow your example and clean mine out too. Sometimes ppl ask to ex link, then I link, but never check back to see if I was added to their roll.
ReplyDeleteHope your week has been good, I am super busy at the moment, dont even have time to do a post, but i still owe you one, and I will do it.
Take care!
Colin.
Hello Colin. You are one of my true blogger friends who follows how exlinks work. Thank you for keeping me on your blogroll and thank you very very much for keeping my badge. I will have to clean my ex-badges, too. Will add you there, definitely!
ReplyDeleteYes, there are many who ask to be linked but then, they do not actually link back. So sad.
Hope you are having a great week there super busy Colin. No, you do not owe me a post. It's okey. It's no big deal, promise. Thank you so much for being so nice.
Hugs!
