Link To Your Field’s Gurus
Gaining the respect and trust of your field’s gurus can result in some of the most powerful links you will ever get. A link from one of them could be as valuable as 100 or even 1,000 links from sites that don’t have as much authority.
The easiest way to get an A-list blogger’s attention is to link to them. Almost all of the top blogs use WordPress, which allows the blogger to easily see when a new site has created a link to their blog. That way they will notice your post. Use an interesting title for the post, and you’re well on your way to getting a link from an A-lister.
To maximize the effectiveness of this link building tip, I would recommend holding off until you have at least a semi-established site. If you try this technique with your first post it probably won’t work at all. That will be the case with many of my link building techniques - they will probably be a lot more effective after you have a site that has some valuable material there.
The only weapon we have to oppose the bad effects of technology is technology itself. There is no other. We can’t retreat into a nontechnological Eden which never existed…It is only by the rational use of technology, to control and guide what technology is doing, that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desireable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
