I'm always worried that they won't consider my content good enough. Guess I just have to battle past that! Hey Chris,

I’d like to guest post and link-build more but I always feel slightly nervous about approaching other bloggers in my niche. I’m always worried that they won’t consider my content good enough. Guess I just have to battle past that!

Commenting on posts, building a network in the social tools (mybloglog, sphinn, stumble, etc etc) has really helped me gain readership and RSS feed subscribers.

Any hotbutton issue will do. 2) Comment in other blogs no matter how little they have in common with yours. 3) Include links to truly funny (related) cartoons or hot naked wymmyns. 4) Check Goggle's Zeitgeist and daily headlines, and make sure to include those keywords in the title and first few paragaphs. That's it. That's all you need to do to get traffic. Unless you're getting paid based on CPM rather than click-through you're not going to actually make any money from that traffic. Rubbish.
