Top Tips
Don’t use Spam as you’ll be wasting your time posting links that will more than
often be irrelevant to the post your link will show up on.

Visit the web site to have a look at the content to see whether you can add a
‘comment of value’ or appreciation of the subject matter.

Never put a long list of your sites with no content with the objective of getting link backs. Not that any sane editor will approve your link anyway!

Use common sense, get to know the webmasters style of writing and make regular
comments to get noticed and gain their respect. Frantic requests displaying words like ‘Please check out my site’ will be deleted!

Besides the majority savvy of bloggers use Askimet to nuke :twisted: those automated Spam message in the bud before they hit the blogosphere. So these messages NEVER get seen by a human being!
