Getting links to a blog

[wheel]

I'm writing a document that discusses promoting blogs. In addition to standard link development, what else should I be addressing?

exchanging links with other bloggers in the same niche

try to meet someone who is influential on a social media site like Reddit or Digg to help occasionally promote your posts - this should hopefully lead to links and traffic

become an active member in forums of the same niche, put your link in the forum signatures if they allow it. link to your own stuff once in a while when you feel that your content really is a good resource

write constructive comments on other people's blogs and leave a link if it asks for one.

Hang out at forums and other blogs in the niche a participate big time. When you have something to say on your blog of value others will follow.
