OVER PERIOD OF TIME THEY WILL WITHDRAW THEIR FOLLOWING AND YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH .............. BIG BIG ...............AND I MEAN BIG........ HORSE SHIT.

I only follow blogs that interest me and I intend on reading. I don't play the I follow you if you follow me game. Its useless!

I'm with you 100%. I follow a few blogs whose authors don't follow me, and I follow only those blogs that I actually want to read. If anyone wants to follow me then that is their choice. The follow you / follow me syndrome is an empty bargain.

PS - Generally it's considered rude to be typing in capital letters as it comes off as you screaming, it's just considered common courtesy.

I follow those blogs who interest me, but 9 out of 10 times I've followed back. When someone follows me I assume they're interested in what I'm doing, I would never expect someone to just follow me if I've followed them ... I think it's rude to just expect that from people and don't think it's proper blog etiquette anyway. But I do certain things to let everyone who follows me know that I appreciate them, for example always replying to their comments, and I regularly post a thank you on my twitter :)

I hope I didn't come off being rude! I didn't mean too! Usually when I follow someone its because they write about the same things I do and are interested in the same topics. So not only do I read their blog articles ect... but I link to a lot of my followers because I am formilar with how they write how often ect... so I am more likely to link to them then a random article on first page in Google.

Errmm Tamron my comment was actually a reply to the original poster and not yours ;)

I seriously doubt that if a blogger enjoys your content, they would withdraw their following just because you didn't follow them back. Readers stop following due to:
lack of topical posts
lack of posts in general
not responding to comments from followers (no more blogger-reader interactions)
lots and lots of advertising, and very little original content in comparison.
I completely agree with Tamron, the follow me/follow you mentality is destructive, and ultimately useless, more so than if you followed someone because you enjoyed their work.

follow for a follow is the biggest nonsense ever.
Like Tamron said i follow people who is worth to keep track of.

The one thing about the silly buttons here on this site, is simply they are kinda ambiguous. I only have clicked Follow on the blogs I truly do Follow.

Sachin Varde Borkar ∙ 28 weeks ago

Thanks! Everyone for contributing your valuable comments! & I know they are genuine BUT the reality is that many of the bloggers who follow you always write on the wall to follow them. @ DressedInTheCity I wrote the opening in caps because I wanted to make it different and wanted everyone to take a note of it. Anyways! I was talking to one of my friend bloger and this topic emerged.
Anyways.... Thanks a lot to everyone.
Take care, Be good and Always help others.
