Thanks for the link - that's very useful- bookmarked it. I think I will have to delete a couple of links on my blogroll which I put on their just to reciprocate. They don't necessarily add much to my own blog or have anything in common. Sometimes you just feel obliged, which I guess is stupid.
I am currently in the process of adding a category to my own blog where I want to feature interesting crafters/designers. This is also part of my link building strategies.
I know i went through a stage of adding everyone who requested recipricol a link thinking it was improving my rankings, now i know better.
