    What is the best way to promote a blog and getting backlinks?

    Article writing (ezine, go article)
    Commenting on blogs
    Forum posting (link back to site on sig)
    yahoo answers (got nice traffic when I did this one)
    linkedin (??? didn't do this one yet, anyone knows?)
    social bookmarkings (not highly targeted, done a few diggs)

    Those are the ones I've used, can anyone tell me of better ones that have worked for them.

    Thanks

    Ruben

    From my experience blog commenting, yahoo answer and social bookmarking are best to promote any blogs. But you must use related categories.

    I really like yahoo answers. One night I answered questions for about 20 minutes and got really nice traffic, the key I believe is to answer the question honestly without self promoting. I see some answers that are blatant spam with their website in the first sentence. I don't even mention mine, I just put it as a signature and it's worked for me so far.

    So many people say Yahoo Answers, yet I was banned a couple of years back and I wasn't spamming. I was being really careful, posting good answers in all sorts of questions without any links and only using my link when it actually/really answered the question.

    Banned I was :(
    Life's sooooo unfair :)

    I like social bookmarking the most. It brings you temporary traffic but still worth it.

    Just open a new account and keep on answering, the problem with yahoo answers is that anyone can pretty much ban anyone, I think 3 reports and you're banned. I think it's the competition, they see your name too many times and get scared. I only answer maybe once every three days.

    General web directories work for me, backlinks lead to search engine traffic if the competition isn't too difficult.

    There is no best way. Everybody has their own ways to promote their site. Do them all and then look over the stats. The top 5 that bring in the traffic focus on those.

    Which one carries the most juice for backlinks? Considering they're all within relevant content.

    The best backlink that you will ever get is people linking naturally to your blog in a post, on a website, or forum of the same or related niche.

    Everything else is second prize.
    That is why your content is the key to your success, and blogging about something that you don't know about or can't contribute to is a set up for failure.

    It used to be setting up a blog was 20% content and 80% SEO, but I think adsense bloggers will agree, those days are over for starting a new blog.

    Relevance and natural linking will dominate.

    It's only going to last so long that Google continues to let webmasters set up their own links to sway PR and SERP results...it's not natural, nor is it an indication of how good the blog is.

    Google's business is satisfying users, not webmasters.
