For exemple, Google's Blog Search is "Google search technology focused on blogs". It includes search engine results specific to blogs not just from the Blogger.com community, but across the whole blogosphere - http://www.blogsearch.google.com/.

Ping your blog every time you add a new post.

You can do it site by site at places like Technorati, or by going to Ping-o-matic (pingomatic.com) and mass-ping your blog to over 20 sites.

5) Post HIGH quality information on your blog.

Focus your attention into the content of your post. Just don't post thing like "click here to buy my product" or "download my software".

When thinking and writing for your blog, always wonder how many people will just digg your post or bookmark it onto their rss feeds, print it out, email it to a friend, or anything else.

6) Write your blog! - Post as frequently as you can.

One of the major factors bloggers are not getting traffic to their blogs because they simply put one post and expect to see the results immediately. Search engines love frequent postings. Blogging daily is as a matter of fact the KEY here.

When you do this, you will be seen as an authority in your field. This way, whatever you say and do, other bloggers will listen to your advice. A blog that has a new post every day is obviously more active, attractive and important than a blog that was set up in 2003, has 4 posts, and has been dead since 2005. To really make your blog get noticed you'll need to start blogging daily or post at least 2-3 times a week.

Put everything you've got into it!

7) Make your blog its name!

Add a link to your blog in your e-mail signature blocks.

Add a link to your blog on any page you've got on the web.

Go offline. Use newspaper ads, public bulletin boards, business cards, even stickers to let as many people as possible know your blog exists.

In conclusion, there are many over ways to get traffic to your blog (see forums, trackbacks, swap links, communities...). You'll notice that you need to be very well organized to succeed into link building. One reason for that is that not only you will need to learn more about the tools and services you are using but you also need to keep update with your listings, thousand of such sites are flourishing each day. Maybe you are not going to join them all. But you'll need to have some memberships in the top of them and maybe sign-up with the latest promissing one tomorrow. Just look at the number of social sites alone!

Thousands of sites in thousands of niches are already doing this, it is more and more complicated to get quality linkage. So having a plan is crucial. Knowing where to go to get good links aside from posting comments on blogs, making researches and finding some good tools, etc... But what do you have to lose by trying?
