ATTN: AD SWAPPERS.

Last year I decided to get rid of paid sponsorships and just do swaps.
Later in the year I decided that I didn’t feel like swaps were aligning with what I wanted for the blog, so I got rid of them too and I just simply decided to put blogs on my sidebar that I wanted to put up there, just because. I didn’t want to feel like I had a burden/obligation on my sidebar where I had to uphold expectations and with A I didn’t want to feel like this blog was…work.
Don’t get wrong, I love getting introduced to new blogs and swaps are a great way for that but I started feeling like it was a lot of work and I had enough on my plate, so I decided that was best for me.

In the blogging community I am constantly seeing two things:
Swap Requests – awesome!
Then Swap Complaints because a swap didn’t meet their expectation – not so awesome.

So I decided to do something…create a list of bloggers that swap ads. Simple right?
Well, I wanted to take it further – ask questions based on expectations of that blogger so anyone who wanted to swap with the blogger could see what they would get, what restrictions were and what the expectations were.

With that being said – those that filled out the Blogs that Swap Form that I put out months ago is compiled below.
Before you go crazy for swaps please read my requests:
Please read the bloggers full input – I launched this previously to just the swappers and already had problems with people not respecting the requirements. So, please, please, please read the requirements that each blogger requires and respect it.
Please check the stats on your own – This form was launched a while ago, that being said most stats are probably a bit higher, or might have changed since I compiled this list, so please know we are responsible for the information below.
The Information You Want to Know: In attempt to help you find the info you want quickly I have highlighted the important information. The Blog Name, The Swap Size, The Requirements, Swap Codes and Passionfruit or Basic HTML have all been color coded for you, and of course, the URL has been hyper-linked.
