    Your blog is less than a week old, how can you expect to have a lot of followers or traffic in such a short time?

    Anyway, here's what I suggest:

    * add content, good content, that's fundamental

    * use ping-o-matic and feedagg

    * use social bookmarking sites

    * post comments on high traffic blogs with a link to your blog - but DO NOT spam

    * contribute to forums with useful information and link to your blog from your signature - again, DO NOT spam

    I don't believe you have 289 backlinks or your checking the your backlink the wrong way, go to backlinkwatch[dot]com to check if you really have backlinks

    and yes your blog is less then a week old, your first post was Friday, June 19, 2009
    please do use the search function on how to make more backlinks and get more traffic

    All you have to do is sit down, have a cup of coffee or cold water and read and note, read and note, after one or two week you'll know what you're gonna do. We don't have a school for this, but you can stick with Grizz, the genius one. He has answers, you collect pieces and joint to a complete picture.

    use the 'link:' command in google when you search. Or yahoo, for that matter. Then you'll see what the real state of play is.

    Backlinks explained - a link to your site that you do not reciprocate!

    Backlinks can be considered as doors leading into your house. The more doors you have leading into your house, the more likely it is for you to get visitors to your house. Same thing with websites.

    Get decent links back from other sites, thats what a backlink is, your link on someone elses site.

    BTW waxman1000

    I would be rather worried if 22000 visitors turned up on my door step a month :)

    I would try doing some SEO to your blog, write some articles to ezinearticles, goarticles, articledashboard etc, social bookmark all your pages using socialmarker.com, social bookmark your articles to.

    If I have backlinks from friends websites and I link back to theirs, that is a reciprocal link and is to be avoided at all costs, from what I understand. But if 3 of us get together and A links to B, B links to C, and C links to A, none of us have a reciprocal link, right. Can we get away with that, or is it likely to get busted by google?

    backlinks help search engines find your site, and hence its visibility on the interweb.....

    You have to comment on blogs, submit your blog to directories and use as forum signature on forums to increase backlinks of your Blog.
