Blogging for links

I am considering starting a blog with the hope of getting links to my site. I want the blog to provide useful content - I am not interested in some quick and dirty spam tactic.

1) Does this work?

B) Any idea of how many links to my site on one page might be a good number?

III) Is there any blog software or system that has a better format than others (such as one post per page vs. all or many posts on one page)?

Hi!

Try blogger.com. it is owned by google and your blog will be indexed by google in a flash (in a few minutes sometimes!). And yes, it is a very good thing for SEO, and yes, i suggest you to do something serious, and not merely for trash seo purposes. However, it takes time before you can see your blog flying.

First, ask yourself what the best investment of time is likely to be:

1) Starting a blog in the hope of achieving gains (possibly short-term) from crosslinking, or...

2) Expanding and improving your revenue-generating site.

Answer: One

getting 1000 links from a single page (a single domain) is worth about 1/1000 of getting 1 link from 1000 domains.

I started a blog the other day just to get to know my customers on a personal basis, and to let them know whom they are dealing with.

Heh, I started a blog at the same time as I started a related content site (not for the sole purpose of seeing gains from cross-linking, but certainly in part to help drive traffic to the content site). Now, the blog makes four times as much as the "money" site =P

For the record, though, there's more content on the blog at this point--there's something about knowing you can just type a paragraph instead of an article that is more condusive to spur of the moment updates.

It looks as though Google has filtered BLOG results from their own blogger(dot)com. I've had a blog for several months, and now, if you search for a particular article in the blog, G can't find it. If one searches even for the blog itself, only the URL is displayed, without the title or description.

Someone said just 1, but what if I have multiple paths within my domain I want to promote, such as mydomain.com/Widgets/ and mydomain.com/Oranges/?

I have many sets of links out there that use 2 keywords that point to two different pages within my domain. I always thought this would be ok.

To add to the question by is300, what if I have my url in my sig file on multiple posts?
