What's the purpose of having all links point to your URL? Is that an experiment? Aside from multiplying links, what is the goal? Skellie -- thank you for reading and for providing feedback. I like your features links on the sidebar at your blog. Issues like transparency are as subtle as important. While we rationalize our actions, checking in with the gut will help guide us through some of those points. How do you weigh and measure whether you are doing something for yourself or for someone else? SEO Training -- is this Jack I'm talking with? We will be getting into a lot more detail over how next post. I will keep your very good question in mind. Carmelo — it looks like you intend to have one big conversation with yourself at your blog.

I think the issue of 'respect' is one that is going to be coming up more and more often in this new blogging culture. Nearly everyone is juggling attempts to profit from readers while delivering them the best experience possible, and this is putting 'respect' more and more in question. The main area I see respect being undermined is in monetization, particularly via paid reviews and unmarked affiliate links. Many otherwise respectable bloggers have fallen into this trap and my perceptions of them have been lowered. I think a key rule to stand by is to ask yourself: am I doing this for me, or them? If you're able to consistently answer the second when considering both your content and your layout then it shouldn't be too difficult to maintain integrity. Once again, thanks for the thought provoking post. I'll certainly be linking to it at the end of the week. Wonderful post.

From what you're saying, it sounds like your sweet spot is authenticity -- being real and feeling real, whatever that means to any of us. Yes, we've now seen a full movement towards that with blogging and in business. Will this term, authenticity, be high jacked and become devoid of meaning? Side note: German was my minor in university. I did not do as well as English ;-) Still a passion as my favorite poet is R.M. Rilke. Hi and thank you for joining this conversation.

If I get a whiff someone isn't honest about what they're saying, I'll either call them out on it or move on and never come back. It doesn't mean laying all the cards on the table, revealing every secret detail of your life on your blog. It's about having an honest look at life and giving an honest opinion based on facts, even if I don't agree with you. That's how I try to be. Great post. For me it’s honesty.

I'm an optimist and think we can uncover great things about people and situations. Sometimes we just don't have or we feel we can't take the time. It's good to remind ourselves.

Thank you for the reminders. This list can apply to many, many aspects of life. One of the things I have been pondering is that once upon a time, a person's word/handshake was a contract. Today, there such is a lack of integrity. One cannot count on another's word anymore. Where did that go? And how sad that it is gone. Peace, Carolyn Valeria, this is a great post.
