The SPANKING UNIVERSE has been up and running for a good six weeks now, and I think that was plenty of time to give a grace period for blogs to link back in. So when I asked for opinions as to how I should distribute the wealth I received some great ideas and opinions, and now I have decided to put a plan into action. As you all know, the SPANKING UNIVERSE is for the benefit of the whole spanking community and my hope had been that every blog would see that and also share their readers.

Now if you check the spanking universe you will see that around 130 blogs have linked back in through one form or another, which was great because it made all of the hard work that I put in more than worth it. From my own set of blogs I am now sending about 20% of all traffic that the Universe gets, which is down from around 60%. What that basically means is that more people are sharing their readers and that was the whole goal in the first place. I’m more than happy to send one in five visitors to see what other blogs are posting.

Over 70 or so blogs chose, after several contacts, not to link back into the SPANKING UNIVERSE. Now as I posed in a question a couple of weeks ago, that presented quite a moral dilemna for me. I couldn’t help but feel that it was unfair to all of the blogs that were linking in and sharing their readers, that other blogs were reaping the benefit of that, yet chose not to share their readers with the other blogs that were sharing their readers with them.

So based on all of the wonderful feedback, thoughts and ideas that I received, I decided on the following. Some people had rightly pointed out that this was a free service for the benefit of the spanking community and I agree with that, while others pointed out that it was a little unfair that some blogs were accepting the extra hits, yet chose not to link back in, so I reached a compromise!!

What I have done is this, and if you visit the SPANKING UNIVERSE you will see what I did. All of the blogs that chose to link back into the Universe will now have priority as I separated the blogs that link back in, from those that chose not to. If you visit the Universe you will that the 130 or so blogs that have linked back in are now listed first. The blogs that chose not to link in are still listed on the Universe, however, I created a separate space much further down the page for these blogs. In fact the blogs that do not link back in are listed after the 130 or so that do link in.

The process remains the same, when a blog updates their post moves to the top of the list to notify potential readers of a new update. Should one of those updates come from a blog that doesn’t link back into the Universe, they still go to the top of the list, however, they go to the top of the SECOND list which is BELOW the list of blogs that do link in and that can be found about halfway down the page.

I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to do anything at all with making changes, but I think that this is the only fair way to distribute readers. The service I hope remains the same, because even if a blog doesn’t link into the Universe, they are still listed and will still get readers that everyone is sharing with them. In the realm of fairness to the blogs who made the effort to share though, those who don’t link in will now be found much further down the page. In my opinion that is the fairest way to deal with this situation, while keeping in the spirit of listing spanking blogs that have chose not to link back in. Let me know your opinions on this decision, I will be happy to hear them.

It isn’t a one shot deal by the way, if your blog is listed on the second list and you want it on the top list, simply add a link to the Universe and I will more than happily move your blog listing to the top list. Likewise, if you have a blog and you want it listed, simply add a link to the Universe and email me at houndog_windsor@yaoo.com and let me know you have done so. Even if you wish not to link back in, simply let me know that you want your blog listed and I will add it to the second list where people will still see your work. Just so that everyone knows as well, I painstakingly went through the list of blogs on the second list to make sure that I wasn’t missing a link back into the Universe, and I’m happy enough with my decision that I did not see a link to the Universe anywhere.

Now for the pics that you see throughout this post.

Pic 1: I’m a sucker for black and white pics, and while this isn’t an official pic, I totally love it. This was taken from a screen cap that I then converted into a black and white picture. This one features me spanking the delightful Erica Corvina.

Pic 3: Yet another screen cap manipulation, this one featuring Caroline Grey from Northern Spanking.

Pic 4: Who wouldn’t want to spank the gorgeous Sarah Gregory while she is only wearing a bra and panties?

Pic 5: From last Christmas with the ever so lovely, Audrey Knight.

Pic 6: Yet another with the pretty minx, Miss Audrey Knight.
