A Sneaky Blogging Tip
I read this a while ago on the now closed blog Iffect.net. What he suggested was to view other blogs you read by clicking on existing links from your own blog as much as possible. So if their site is in your links or if they have left a comment on your blog, use those links to visit their site.
What is this madness you talk about?
What this does, is it will make your blog look as if you are referring extra traffic to the blog you are visiting. This isn’t always going to be practical, but I think it is a fairly smart way of promoting your blog to other blogs which you visit regularly. Most bloggers have some form of statistics installed on their blogs, and just adding that extra visit or two may make your blog stand out above others, and may earn you a mention in an article or get you on a blogroll or two.

good idea, but why not just contact the site owner directly and try to strike up a conversation? it seems this would get their attention more than 1 or 2 extra referrals in their stats.
Yes Sam, I think you are right, just an idea though! Cheers
This isn’t a bad idea. I have a nasty little habit of posting about other blogs. This has helped me to get some attention also. I write a post about their blog and most of them return the favor or at least mention me, without me asking them too. Not bad huh?
Hi Gaje, I think your “nasty little Habit” is one of the key methods of getting other bloggers to your site! I think there is a pretty good case for all new bloggers to write about other blogs in their niche. Cheers.
Thanks for this “sneaky” tip. I’m new at this but I mention other blogs because it serves my readers. Now I’ll mention and click.
@Sam and Simon i guess that idea is a bit controversial…coz when i tried that via directly contacting the owner they always come up and strike in huge sum of money..well at least till mow i haven’t found any of them offering to keep my link for free or for 1 or 2 dollars!!!
And probably the thing post is trying to say is practical…in some cases…
