The Pakistani Spectator

I received a question through email, see if  you have an answer to that:

When pitching link backs it’s tempting (and easier) to request link backs from the blogs at the top of the list. But some of those blogs are only there because they have the most number of link backs. Going by common decency it is only polite to post links on your blog to someone else’s blog especially if they have agreed by request to add your link to their blog. By this logic the top of the list blogs have dozens and sometimes hundreds of link backs listed on their blog. Most are probably tired of having to keep putting those link backs up and some probably can’t accept anymore.

By requesting a link back from the top of the list blogs you are risking a ‘hey thanks for the request but I’m not adding any more link backs to my site’ response - polite but disappointing all the same. By Doing this you are also helping someone who really doesn’t need help and ignoring those who need help - because they are hard to find.

So my question is this. is there a way to search for new blogs or blogs with very few link backs - or even a way to advertise that your blog is there (even if google doesn’t recognize it yet because it has no link backs) and that you are accepting link back requests?
