Think Outside the Box
Don’t buy reviews only based on blog PageRank or relevant content. Chances are if you dig deep enough you’ll find blogs with an RSS following, excellent writers, link bait style posts, bloggers that market their blogs via social media or perhaps you’ll form a relationship with a blogger that can last a lifetime or result in you hiring them to do your writing.
You may even want to do some reviews without direct links and ask the blogger to link to other blogs, your RSS feed or search results.
How many times has a blogger naturally linked to your site via an alternative course? Given the popularity of viewing blog posts in Google Reader, I get bloggers linking to my Feedburner Feed URL’s daily.
