This goes great with what we’re learning in my Message Development class. Relationships are built on trust, and to be trustworthy, you have to be credible, and to be credible, you have to research. I’m sure that sending out a batch of generic blog requests or news releases is a sure way to frustrate the recipient.

I am trying to catch up with the 31 days. I am stumped though. I need help in learning how to link. I am not sure how to do this. If someone can help with simple step by step instructions I would love it. Thanks

Great ideas,

I’ve promoted my post on Twitter, Facebook, my blog and through my Yahoo Group. We’ll see soon how much traffic it generates.

I don’t ask for links in posts because there are sometimes large gaps between my posts and those gaps tend to cause me to lose readers. (so it wouldn’t be fair for me to ask for a link when I might not be available to follow it myself)

I have asked if I can post a link in the comments section of various friend’s blogs. If they say yes, I do it sparingly and thank them in the comment that has the link.

I did post 2 bulletins, a twitter tweet and a link in your forum for my list blog… so I do feel like I’ve made good progress.

Thanks.

I just wrote a comment on a blog that I’d really like a link to, but at the last minute, couldn’t do the ‘ask’. I felt it was too forward, even though my post is strongly relevant to her blog.

Is it better to email? (Except no contact details are given in this case).

I didn’t realise until I read your Day 3 post that it isn’t done to send your url in a comment!

Link juice can be as complicated or simple as you make it. Lots of new blogs start off hot, but it’s sustaining that level of interest that’s hard.

This is good and helpful advice. I would never even think of asking for someone a link without a relationship. That is pretty bold! Networking takes common sense just as in the real world, you wouldn’t walk up a stranger at a party and just hand him your card. Maybe I just have common social sense. :)

I will keep this in mind if I ever am looking to ask someone for a link…

Thanks for the great post. I have only linked to others occasionally in the past; albeit, that will be an additional consideration in future.

Hi Darren,

I find your tips very useful. However, as I am targeting a Spanish-speaking audience and focusing on literature at that, I fear that most of my readership will need to be built around a different range of social network sites. What do you all think?

Of course facebook, twitter and delicious are also big in Spanish, but for instance there are a number of very influential, Spanish-language only, sites like tuenti (www.tuenti.com), for teenagers under twenty years old and by strict invitation only, that I feel I am missing out – and perhaps their niche is easier to reach than the Big Ones.

Thanks for the Blog Challenge, I am enjoying and following it as best as I can (being quite the blog newbie!).

I think networking with other bloggers is a cool thing. Your blog should be worthwhile & not just a junk blog. Why wouldn’t someone want to link to someone’s blog if it has some great info or even unusual wit!

That’s what makes Twitter so interesting. You get to meet & connect with some of the most interesting people on the planet.

Of course one wouldn’t want to link to a boring stupid blog. But I read many extraordinary & beautifully designed blogs it makes me excited!

I would add a link on my blogs to other savvy blogs I admire.

Thanks for the info. Always a challenge to get someone to link in to a post. But I think I shall offer to add others links to my blog… give before get… let’s see if it works.

Developing a relationship and adding something of value to the conversation should be top points! If you’re willing to put in the time and slowly develop a digital friendship with a blogger, they are much more likely to respond and link to your content. Don’t just be another spammer filling up their inbox or tweet stream. Relevant and valuable posts are almost as important. If you have a tight connection with another blogger they might be willing to link to weaker content.

Darren,
I agreed these tips! In my opinion, peoples are more likely to link a “list post” instead of normal post, as long as it’s useful, then people will link it. I’m still in the learning process in this section. :)

Regards,
Lee

Came to this from the 31DBBB “promote a post” page and enjoyed these tips. I’m so over timidity. Who cares? I emailed my favorite blogger in my niche and intro’ed myself. Go me. :)
