You want to blog about it; to present it to your readers and add some comments. Will you rip the whole thing; put it on you blog with your comments without reference back the original author? I hope no!<\/p>\n<p>Personally if the idea came from another source than my mind, I&#8217;ll put a link to the source of information. If I found it on a specific web site and that site reference back to the originator, then, I&#8217;ll reference the place where I found it and the place where the original idea came from. It&#8217;s the way I work. I put the reference of the place that point me out a thing, and if it&#8217;s the case, the reference to the originator of the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I think that back-referencing is probably the most important thing you have to do while building information web pages (like blogs). The first point is to give credit to the author. It&#8217;s a simple act of civism essential for the good health of the Internet. Secondly, it helps you to give credibility to your works. Finally it will help you to build a good relationship with other authors. If I take the example of blogs, it will help you to be read by other bloggers. Why? Because most bloggers are addicted to their blog&#8217;s statistic. Usually, if he doesn&#8217;t know the reference web site to one of his post, then he&#8217;ll check by clicking on it, and he will read what you wrote about him. Usually he will eventually give you the credit back by blogging on one of your post.<\/p>\n<p>The core of this healthy relationship between bloggers is the fact that peoples references-back the originator of ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Technoratie:   [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/blog\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/reference\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">reference<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/relationship\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">relationship<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/author\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">author<\/a>] <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is essential to give credit to authors and build your relationship with other bloggers You find a good article on the web or a post of another blogger with a so beautiful idea.
