    You can get mega backlinks with blogging if you write cool stuff, you interact with other bloggers, and you get some good pr.

    My problem with ever having a blog is the immense amount of time required to write anything worthwhile or compelling enough to actually link to

    I spent 5 minutes on a post a couple of weeks back which is getting backlinks and about 20 search results a day.

    You just gotta practice and know all the secrets.

    Blogs are a ton easier to promote links-wise than normal sites IMHO. Use the trackbacks feature and be generous with out going links too. Then write something good and get on a social bookmarking site.

    If you link to other blogs in your article, depending on what you use and what they use, the blogs you link to can be let known that you linked to them. On my first day of bloging I generated three links back to my blog and they generate visitors!

    Can't speak for anyone else, but I blog for the free peanuts. The honey roasted ones are my favorite. :D

    mmmm .... honey roasted peanuts ... :D

    Blogging is a good way to generate some backlinks, but more importantly for me anyway, is the traffic.

    Thank you guys,

    bagman101, I checked your site it is nice. One thing I noticed Google may not like ( TOS related.) Put a separate/border line between the pictures and the google ads. Other than that it is a great site.

    I mostly blog because I like it, and that it generates a few backlinks is always welcome of course, but it's not the reason why for me.
