"Be liberal with the link love"
I would think you could have too many links in your post. The result would cheapen the links which are most important to your message. Maybe color coding links would be an option if there was a legend that indicated red was most important, etc.

That's a good point, Mark. I've seen some posts that are link-overloaded--and they're really a pain to read and just come off as too promotional and distracted. I link to other posts when it's appropriate--like when you're talking about an idea you found on someone else's blog first--and being willing to add new blogs to your blogroll, especially if the bloggers are just starting out and could use the help. But you're right, there's a difference between being generous and being too generous.

Jennifer, here's a way you could take the goodwill a step further (and kill two birds with your metaphorical stone)... use questions from other bloggers or writers as the inspiration for a post. That way you're helping others AND creating useful content for your blog.
And by the way, I think you're pretty on-the-ball about responding to comments.

Terrific points. I especially agree with the referrals - there's nothing like being able to tell a client or prospect that their needs can be taken care of, either with me or with one of my growing network of designers, bloggers, strategists, and more. Thanks!
