The trouble with link posts is...

The other day I talked about the value in using link posts as a way to tide you over and keep traffic coming on days you don't blog. I've been giving that some more thought and have come to an alternate, though not completely opposite conclusion.

The thing is, if you don't blog at least three times a week, there's a chance you're going to be written off. I mean, who wants to check their feed reader and see nothing more than a series of link posts. There was one blogger with whom I had that experience and, as a result, removed him from my list of feeds.

So, I guess it's a matter of keeping everything in balance. A few link posts are good, but visitors and subscribers want to hear what you have to say.

People like BL Ochman and Steve Rubel are good examples of this practice.
