…so: how many of you receive inquiries from other artists asking to exchange website links? how do you respond?

I get these fairly regularly, and I dutifully go check out the requestor’s site. Mostly, the requestor’s artwork is unimpressive or worse (in fact, I’m pretty sure I could qualify this as “always”, not “mostly”). While incoming links help a site rank higher in Google’s search algorithm, I’m reluctant to give an imprimatur of approval by trading links with artists whose work I don’t care for.

Or am I just old-fashioned? You know - grab marketing wherever you can, regardless of the source…?
