One of the most reliable ways that I have found of building links is to syndicate my blog with other like minded individuals. If you look at the Google Friend Connect panel on my blog, you will see that I (presently) have 58 “Friends”; of these, 47 are people with whom I syndicate.

Whenever one of us in the group makes a new post, we, as a group, have agreed to give some credibility to that post on one or more of the social media web sites. This either by way of a save, digg, clip, etc., and sometimes a comment on those social web sites.

We only perform these actions provided that the content posted meets our own, individual, sense of quality.

However, all this social activity by our group serves to increase search engine visibility and rankings, which in turn means that our posts receive greater attention by people outside our group (i.e. traffic).

Every time I post, I get more social activity and visibility – more visibility = more traffic = more visibility

As one of my colleagues puts it “We have a Perpetual Internet Traffic Machine”
