Not only is it etiquette, it's also about being effective. People aren't going to click a link just because it's there. They're going to click on it because either a) they know it's on a topic they're interested in, or b) you've showed them that you are an interesting and good writer. That's why I always make a post or a comment, and then leave a little note (or a signature) with my blogs at the end. Speaking of which, Michael, I'm about to add both of your blogs to both of my blogrolls. Feel free to check out and/or link my blogs if you feel so inclined. http://thezspot.today.com http://gamingtips.today.com I’m a big fan of not leaving comments or posting messages that only include a plug for your own sites.

If you are on a forum it certainly can help if you do this. It is best to use the sig line, and post proper messages rather than spam. If you are on a forum it certainly can help if you do this.
