"...the best way to get a link from any blogger is to link to them first. But geez, make the reason something other than a link exchange. Sure, sometimes I'll link to something somebody's said about something I've said, but it's always either because the other writer said something interesting or because what they said moves a conversation forward. I never link for the sake of reciprocity alone, or to perpetuate any "elite".

"Want to succeed in the blogosphere, or the Web in general? Easy. Do search engine optimization. Here's how:
1. Write quotable stuff about a lot of different subjects. 2. Do it consistently, for months if not years. 3. Link a lot, as a way of giving credit and of sending readers to other sources of whatever it is you write about.
