A lot of time is spent by bloggers trying to get
other blogs to link to them. A lot of traffic can be
gained by doing this with blogs that are both
related to your topic and blogs that have a lot of
readers.
This can sometimes be very difficult for new
bloggers because they do not yet have enough
readers or page rank to interest the bigger blogs.
Talk to other bloggers who are in the same
position as you right now and develop a lasting
relationship. You link to them, they link to you
and as both of your blogs grow those links will
pay off for you.
Many people find a blog they like, then will take
suggestions from that blog about other blogs
they might like. So someone goes to a blog you
have traded links with and likes them, then they
follow your link and if your content is good, they
add you to their reading list. The same happens
in reverse for the one you link back to.
Sooner than you think both of your blogs will
become ones that a circle of people read. The
more blogs you do this with, the more your
circle will eventually grow.
Don't be too concerned with page rank. Many of
the established blogs with good page rank are not
going to link to you until you build up your
readership at least a little. There is a reason for
this and it isn't arrogance, though it may feel that
way at times.
The reason is that many people start blogs, but
few people actually become bloggers. Blogging
daily takes a commitment that many are not
willing to make. The established blogs might link
to you regardless of page rank and traffic issues if
they see you are committed to writing your blog
and becoming a blogger.
They don't want to link to someone's blog that
may or may not be around next month. It is a
disservice to their readers and a hassle to remove
your link later or check and see if you are actually
still blogging. They do not have the time to hold
your hand on it.<
If they check out your blog and you have been
posting to it every day for quite awhile, say 6
months at least, then they might give you a
helping hand and welcome you to the
blogosphere.
Put it into your schedule to make a post every
single day, even if it has to be a short one due to
lack of time. When there is a time you know you
will not be able to post for a few days, make a
post for each of those days and if you are using
wordpress you can timestamp the posts so that
each one appears on the scheduled day. That is
one way to keep your blog fresh for your readers
every day.
Another tip is, as we post to our blogs daily,
there are times when you have two or three
things you want to blog, but if you are finding it
hard to post daily, timestamp the second or third
post for other days rather than posting them
right now unless it is something time sensitive.
Try to stay two or three days ahead so that if you
miss a day, it won't hurt you.
If you are using blogger or other blogging
software that doesn't have the timestamp feature,
save them as drafts, then log in when you have
little time and post your draft. If you have time to
blog a post, then leave the draft there until you
need it.
Don't let yourself get frustrated if everyone
doesn't want to link to you right away. If you are
blogging good content, you may find they are
linking to you before you even ask!
