In any business, relationships are a valuable asset. As you seek to grow your business, you need to take time to give back to those who help you along the way. Not everyone will be so kind but those who give often receive more than they gave away.
Payback may not always be to the person who gave to you. Some situations require a pay-it-forward kind of method. Other situations may call for a well-chosen gift in a different form. Maybe it's flowers, or chocolates. On occasion, a quiet "Thank you" is appropriate.
With online friends...
A more direct gift is given when you link to their online creation. Such creations can be blogs, useful websites, or entertaining videos. The important thing is to be sure you return any favors as soon as possible. It may take some serious thought to find a creative way to show your gratitude, but that is a part of the fun.
You may want to. take a cue from the way that others conduct themselves, or don't conduct themselves, to help you learn a few methods like this.
You may end up boosting a large number of Technorati Authority ratings. Hopefully, enough of, or all of, your recipients do the same for you.

What a nice way to continue the link love -- Karma and Pay-it-Forward. I was at a video store a couple of days ago and saw the DVD. Kevin Spacey looked so young there.
And you may send the chocolate too ;-) 73% dark, please.
