Some blogs have been asked to reduce posting, a few have gone on hiatus and some bloggers are even reporting that they have been asked to work for free! AOL disputes this, claiming all bloggers will be paid and the moves are only temporary and meant to offset June's overspending. For the bloggers sakes, let's hope they are right!

Linking to other blogs from your blog is called, link love. It's the way bloggers help each other promote their blogs. Link love means that when I link to your blog, you'll link back. Then your readers will come see me and my readers will come see you. We both benefit.

Why do we do this? Several reasons. One reason is that the more links you have to your site from other blogs, the higher the search engines will rank your site. Another reason would be that the more people that can find your site, the more page views you get, hence the more money you make.

Make sure to post to other blogs a couple times a week. Then email them and let them know about it. They'll probably give you some link love.

Most people will only read one or two pages of your blog before moving on. If you want them to move beyond that and delve deeper into your blog then you're going to have to entice them a little more. Linking to yourself is a great way to do this. At the end of every blog post, link.

Think of at least three other blog posts on your blog that are similar to or related to the post you just wrote. Create a small section at the end of your post and call it something like, "Related Posts" or "More About...". Then link to these other blog posts. You're bound to get more traffic when you show your readers what else you have to offer them.
