5 Ways to Get More Link Juice For Your Blog

Let's face it sometimes we just want to write an article that will become the ultimate linkbait to make other bloggers talk about you. That is, after all, how you build yourself as an authority.

Many bloggers see a popular article on digg, or some other bloggers post getting a ton of trackbacks and say, "Oh man, I wish I had thought of writing an article like that" or, "I just can't write stuff like that". There are many ways to write some good linkbait, here's my 5.

1. If you're a new blogger, start a meme that has a different twist to it then the ones already out there. Most established bloggers don't participate in meme's as they have already been there, done that. So start of a relationship with a few upcoming blogs and tag them. If you start it off you are guaranteed to be link backed too each time someone participates. Just don't do too many memes OK, because then it just gets boring.
2. Create a long detailed analysis of a popular blog and email the blogger to let him/her know about it. If your analysis rocks they'll link back to you, you get more traffic and ultimately more links will pour in.
3. A picture is worth a thousand words. Digg users love a good picture and if you happen to snap one, or find one then write a snappy 1 or 2 sentences and either submit it yourself or have a friend submit it to digg. Some diggers will gladly "blog it" as well from within your stories digg page. Of course, only place the picture on your blog if YOU took it, otherwise you will just get buried for blog spamming.
4. Make a poll for a controversial or a popular topic. If you can, try and include other blogs that have blogged about the topic in your poll. There are many free poll creating sites like PollDaddy, Quibblo
   and Zoho to name a few. People like to vote, though when it comes to voting for politicians they somehow mess up.
5. If you have background experience in something that many people are trying to do themselves on the internet like how to make money online or a some secret SEO tips. Create a Free E-Book and release it with some never before read content that people will just slurp up. You will get guaranteed link backs if your E-Book rocks.

So go ahead give it a try, the more linkbacks you get the more popular your blog becomes.
