And sorry, only WordPress-specific blogs get linked from my blogroll. I had to say "no" because I get tons of requests. ;-) But that doesn't mean I can't write about you and your blog! As for the page rank idiocy, don't stress over it. 5 out of 10 means you are half way there, but next page rank update you could be 7/10 or 3/10 and the next 8/10 or 2/10 - focus on what you do best, which you are doing, and keep your nose on your purpose. It's working so far! Jim: It was great to meet you, however brief, at the Successful and Outstanding Bloggers Conference. And sorry, only WordPress-specific blogs get linked from my blogroll.

Buying links is now penalized by Google's Blog Page Rank. Doing anything that doesn't or wouldn't happen naturally can get yourself banned. Let time take its course naturally and create linkable content and link to and comment on other blogs and be patient. Second, you do not have to respond to every comment or blogger who says something you don't agree with. This article is talking about directly contacting a blogger to market your wares. In this scenario, you want to everything you can to stay on the good side of a blogger, no matter what they say. Remember, if you new, few listen. But many listen to the "older" blogger. How you respond speaks more about you than it does about the commenter. I recommend you read <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/08/07/how-not-to-comment-on-comments/" rel="nofollow">How NOT to Comment on Comments</a> and <a href="http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/mean-spirited-comments-and-blogging/" title="Mean Spirited Comments and Blogging" rel="nofollow">Mean Spirited Comments and Blogging</a> which might help you, and others, understand that not all comments need a response, and sometimes, no response is the best response.

I mean for a newbiw its not possible to buy links. Then no option than participating in link exchange. Anyway i like the point "Respect bloggers reply" For my blog http://software-testing-askme.blogspot.com/ one of software testing expert blogger gave some comments for which i was not agree with his points, so i replied to all the coments in very defending mood and he got hurt! So we should always respect the busy probloggers! If a newbie will not ask for links then how can he able to rank well? I mean for a newbiw
