Linking is one of the cheapest and fastest way to produce content. There are many successful sites and blogs. But isn’t that’s what successful sites do already? It is, many of them run a simple sentence or two and a link, and that’s all it takes. Providing too many links in one post would lead to confusion.

How to produce linking content?

  • The best way is to subscribe to many different feeds, and to some search feeds, and just get a feel for what your audience would be interested in, write a simple two or three sentence opinion or description and post it with the link.
  • Another successful idea is to constantly search out the net for the newest/hottest/bleeding edge ideas and constantly link to the new, to the hot, to something that nobody else is covering. This tends to build a more cult like following in blogs

Benefits of Linking

  • Trackbacks - the biggest benefit is when you link to other blogs is that many of them will have links back to you in the trackbacks at the bottom of the post, thus bringing traffic back to your blog
  • Build a loyal readership - there are many information addicts out there, and if you constantly feed them with something new, exciting, stimulating, they’ll be coming back again and again.
