Everything else is left to your discretion. A few ideas of what you could possibly include.... promotional button or magnet, buisness cards (maybe more than one so they can give them to friends who may be interested), a discount, you could even offer to host a giveaway on their blog!!

Running Behind
I wanted to stop by and say that I am so sorry for not completely finishing putting up all of the participants in the swap on the site. It has been so busy here, and so much has been happening that I have just not had the time, but I will surley have it all up by the end of the up coming week.
Sorry again.
