I was checking out StumbleUpon when I came across an idea put forward by DayJobNuker called “IReply“, which was expanded upon by BloggerBingo as “Be a Community Builder“. I really like this idea and think it could be a great way for C/D-list bloggers like myself to get some exposure, and to help out others of our ilk. It basically boils down to this – if you leave a comment on my blog, I will:

• visit your site (if you link it in your name).
• visit several pages, not just one.
• leave a comment on a post, provided I have something to say about it.
• Digg you, submit you to StumbleUpon or Reddit, or another social site – provided I like the content
• click on an ad, as long as I don’t violate any terms of service by doing so.

What I won’t do:

• accept spam comments. If your comment doesn’t apply to the post, I’ll mark it as spam and delete it.
• accept adult content. I try to run a PG-13 theme here.
• click through to adult content. Employers don’t like that kind of thing. Neither do wives (at least not mine).
• subscribe to your RSS feed. I’ve got too many as it is (unless I really, really, really like your site).

I’ve got a backlog of comments that I haven’t taken the time to visit, so I think I’ll go do that now.
