This is something I NEVER heard about before and will try to implement it on my blog asap.

I recently wrote a post, "Google Page Rank - Chasing That Elusive Dream". I write candidly about people who may be thinking of linking only to sites that have a high Google Page Rank, in an attempt to "protect" their own ranking. I believe in "link love". On my site, I've set up a page, which I call my "Blogging Buddies", where I provide links to all sites that have taken the time to leave me a comment, or have linked to either one of my two blogs. (no spam, adult content,etc...). It's my way of showing my appreciation to others for taking time to read what I've written. I also take the time to visit my "blogging buddies" blogs, and leave comments on posts I can relate to. I agree we all need to do more linking.

Not only darren but many bloggers write getting inspiration from life and motivated by other bloggers.We all need to understand them, simlar way when you get new people to your house.We can try grabbing what they have rather than just thinking "Oh its not darren" No offenses but thats what I have learnt from Darren, life and blogging @Dhruv: You have a point there dhruv but I wont agree with you completely.If you really look at blogging to an inner depth “Its Life”.

So it sounds like you're on the money there. Be sure to use strong descriptive anchor text in your links and to link to bloggers who might become extended relationships when you can. Hi William! The link was working when I sent it over to Darren to post for me. I'm wondering whether it has something to do with the fact that Yaro is going live with his traffic school soon. I know When I came out with my 31-day Calendar of Ideas for January and included his traffic school, he said it would be a push to have it ready. It seems Johathan in comment# 20 has the workaround for you. I understand your frustration. I don't 404s and broken links either. :) Hi Webmaster Labor! I'm fairly unsophisticated. I linkbait by accident. :) I try to get to know bloggers as I link to them. It's slower, but as I always say, "I don't want a one-link stand." Hi JohnathanC!!

This can also fall under the category of link baiting. Nothing like a good (as in thorough and informative, not necessarily positive) review of blogs in your category to get a "conversation" going. The more productive the conversation between the blogs, the more credibility each gains. The problem arises when it becomes a bashfest or entries that are mere drama magnets. Great article.
