You need to build relationships if you want to be a hub, rather than a spoke… or just a dirt clod stuck to the wheel that eventually will be washed away.

I have only just recently come to the realization of the importance of having good relationships with other bloggers. I really believe that you can’t be a truly successful blogger without it but then again isn’t that a little like life in general.

#1 advice is not to waste my time dropping links in the comments that have no relevance to the conversation and you are purely doing for SEO

Andy,

I’ve read the post and thought “interesting” and then read the comments and was Wowed by you. No wonder people come back to your blog – you are there for your readers. Thank you.

The biggest value from commenting is building up a conversation with blog owners.

Sure, my readers who become a regular commenter gain some benefit, but that is mine to give and I set the bar fairly high (10 comments) due to abuse.

The thing to remember is that my pages rank for a long time, and people read the comments and respond – quite often other experts will jump in and add real value that far exceeds the benefit of a few links.

Thank you so much for all the input. One more question to you. ….. Should I waste my time with “no-follow” blogs ? or is there some value to these too ?

I’m pretty new on the internet and I just launched my business a couple of months back. I often hear blogging from my friends and they told me its effective. But searching for related blogs online give me MILLIONS of results so I don’t know if I can ever beat those competition.

But your idea sounds good. I’m new to SEO as well so I hope I can achieve a good ranking in the coming months.
