If you plan on building up a blog that is worthwhile of being listed on Best Rated Blog or any other blog-ranking/rating site, then you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of incoming and outgoing links. Incoming and outgoing links assure that Google recognizes and acknowledges your presence, and assigns you a Google PageRank accordingly.

Tips:

• Write frequently to encourage blog comments
• Comment back on those bloggers who comment on your blog
• Link to bloggers who comment often
• Link to bloggers who you enjoy reading
• Participate in link exchanges
