The Blogosphere is big. Searching for relevant blog content are engines like Technorati, Sphere, Gnoos, Icerocket & Google Blog Search. If you want your blog to be read & ranked higher you have to appeal to the search spiders and crawlers. So what’s the best bait for these webbie wascals? It’s links.

Every blog search engine algorithym measures, to a large degree, the number of incoming links to a blog. So how do you get links to your blog? Here is a list of ways to bait your blog hook. While some are tongue and cheek, most will work. (So we hear in the hallways.) Caveat: Once you get the links and the traffic you have to keep it going with good content. Once you stop feeding, the fish go away.
