Develop a list of dofollow blogs in and around your website niche.  How you do this will be the subject of another article.

Become a regular poster on these blogs.  As you develop more and more of your own pages link to them.  As soon as I post a new page I back it up with a post to a link from a nofollow blog.  I also reward the nofollow blog a little boost by bookmarking the page.

A Penny for my thoughts.

Let me explain about that post.  I always make the post relevant.  Often over 50 words and on topic.  I use the tips for my Building Links 101.  As I state in that article pay a lot of attension to the name you use.

Lucia’s Linky Love Plugin
Lets you set the limits on giving links to comments. The owner of the blog can set this to 3 to 10. If set to 3 then comments will be nofollow until they have 3 comments approved. There are also some other features to this plugin. Very well thought out.

I also look for blogs set up with Lucia’s link love. They usually are well thought out blogs. My comments are almost always accepted so the 3-10 limit is no big deal. It makes me get a little aggressive at commenting on their blog at first. I really like to get over the hump quickly.
