I had been wandering over the internet for backlinking methods, came up a post of yours about backlinking which brought me here. And I think this is the best article. I should focus more on quality blogging instead of backlinking!

I do not agree that optimization and backlinks are not that important. Come on, if you are trying to appear on the first page for the keyword with 20,000,000 competition, you need to use both of them.

I have been link building on some of my sites for 12 years. I have one site with over 1,400 natural links all built through good content. I did ask for a few but not many. Don’t try to beat the system. You can still rank in niche areas without many links.

we all get carried away once in a while. We focus on one aspect more than others. The famous quote applies here, “over commit and then disappoint”
we over commit our time to things that aren’t important and don’t give value to anyone other than the idea that you at least did something.

I’ve had to ask the questions.
-is what I would like to do going to help me reach my goal?
-What is going to be the ROI?
-How is it going to do this and would I be able to confince someone off the street with this information?

I’m glad I found this site. I am not so clear on building links, and I do love writing. In fact, the idea of the blog is to promote the writing I love to do. So now I know to keep writing and stay away from hard linking…or at least, not to inhale when I am around it.

Still new to the blogging scene and I keep getting assured by my Blogging King of a friend that quality will draw people in. It is nice to see that he’s not the only one who says that. :)

I admit, the last few days I’ve been checking my numbers more than I should. Thanks for the heads up on how damaging this can be.

So, why isn’t Mark Levison linking to me? (;-)

I’ve taken a can’t worry about my blog count attitude. I post every day on an eclectic field of topics, and people (I hope) will come. I have links to people who interest me, I comment when I find something intriguing. It’s my blog, not my life – though the blog is ABOUT my life.

I agree. I noticed that everyone is so linked obsessed. I think giving bloggers something to want to link to is the best way in building links.

I have just read your post. and may I say I am impressed! I, too, am a link addict and a button addict too! The addiction tends to screw up the real reason why i began blogging in the first place, i.e., to be the premiere content source of everything related to the Philippine pool scene and around the world. Your article is an inspiration to me, and to people just like us. For this, I am forever in your debt. More power to you! Mabuhay!

Is it not more a chick and egg issue? You make a site and there are no paths in so no one can find it so no one can link to it so that people can find it and link to it…

There is a sort of critical mass of linkage and content that must be reached before a blog can do anything. When starting fresh you will find that in short order you must link from any other work you stuill have access to, submit to search engines, get in dmos and join forums and communities and chat a good chat with you link at the ready as an answer of illustration whenever possible.

It’s not something you have to do forever but it is something you have to do. In any given week as many as one in twenty of your readers might link to you. But when you have three readers if you count granny you really are not going to ever get links.

The debate on the effect of links is never ending. No one will ever agree on the true effects of links whether reciprocal or inbound.
The bottom line is that your rate of inbound link growth determines the amount of traffic you get.
