Similarly, everyone of you, who knows something about link building, should share them here. Please, post your replies related to Link Building for Blogs (and not in general). I like to express things on the basis of examples. So, let's start it the same way. Situation :- Jan 1 - Person creates A creates a blog. But person A doesn't know anything about Link Building. He writes content on a daily basis. His worries are all about getting traffic to his blog. What should he do? How do he bring traffic to his blog? What all things person A should know about link building for his blog? What WE should do? Person A doesn't know anything about link building. BUT he wants to learn how to bring traffic to his blog. SO, let's teach person A - how to build links to his blog. How to help person A? By posting here the things- that you would do from the very first day of creating a blog. Think as if you are person A, who had created a blog just now. And post here things that you would be doing from now on. How to Post ? (posting format) :- Try to reply in a similar format as the one below :- (Below is my tips) First Phase :- --->I'll be planning to write content on a daily basis. At least one per day. --->I'll be registering at some good webmaster forums like DP, and in the signature column, I'll add link to my blog. --->There's a feature in DP, by which we can make others see the latest post in our blog - with the title showing near our DP username. (goto settings - it's there). ---> I will add important SEO plugins to my blog - eg:- All-in-one SEO pack. ---> I'll add social bookmarking buttons - that of digg, etc.. ---> I'll keep an eye on link building section of DP Second Phase :- ---> I'll find blogs that are related to my niche, and will post comments in posts that are interesting. This way I'll get do follow links (make sure that the blog is a do-follow blog) ---> I'll publish some cool content to ezinearticles.com (related to my niche). This way, I'll be able to put a link to my blog in that site. ---> I'll start to make as many followers as I can in twitter. And from then on, I'll be posting something interesting (related to my blog) in twitter - so that my followers who finds it interesting - may visit my blog (sometimes I may get a link in their blog as well - if they like my blog post) Third phase :- (It's upto you. ....) -- (I'll be coming up with more tips soon) OKEY, SO, that's it. You may also post DO's and DONT's about link building "related to blogs". Here are some of the DO's and DONT's from me :- DO's about link building :- 1- Aim for getting backlinks from high PR sites. 2- (will be posting soon .....) ... .... .... (rest - will be posting soon .....) DONT's about link building :- 1- Never spam others blogs while commenting in their blog posts (for the purpose of getting a do-follow link).

Do's Genuinely place comments on blogs for the purpose of building a relationship with the author (which can eventually get you great linkage). Don't Go around begging for links... Show me why you want to be linked on my site. If you can actually convince me your content is worthwhile to my readers then I'll link to you. Just don't beg.
