How many ways are you using at the moment to make your blog a back link superstar ? I only list the 102 ways in brief. If you want to read this authority article by CourtneyTuttle in details, click here. This will be a checklist for me on and off so that I can improve the traffic and ranking of my blog.

Red = I am implementing now

Provide more value than other blogs and sites.
Add a blog to your site. If your site is or has a blog, well done. If you have no idea how to setup a blog you should visit the following entry of this site, “5263 Words On Starting A Profitable Blog.“
Post relentlessly. Note: People aren’t going to link to posts that are garbage so don’t sacrifice quality for quantity.
Make sure that your blog is set to ping.
Use Technorati tags
Create authority posts. An authority post by my definition takes at least 10 hours to write. These are posts that people are likely to be linked to. Courtney’s post, “5263 Words On Starting A Profitable Blog” has already been linked to quite a bit. Authority posts are more thorough than most other posts. They’re usually longer than other posts.
Have your friends tag your best work in Digg.
Encourage readers to Digg authority articles.
Make your articles easy to Digg.
Creating list-posts. Examples: “Top 10 Ways To Stop Being A Lazy Pig”, “Top 5 Internet Marketing Gurus”, “Top 25 Reasons Why 99% Of Bloggers Don’t Make It”, “99 Ways To Make Your Blog Or Site A Backlink Super Power”. People love linking to that stuff. Place your list-post in a prominent location on your site
Recognize your field’s gurus. Link to them often. They are going to watch closely the source of their traffic and will definitely see if you’re sending some their way. If you send them traffic, they may start reading your site. If they find something they like, they might link to it. One link from a guru in your field could mean more than 100 weaker links. Gurus are usually pretty generous in spreading the link love. That’s a hint, hint to Darren Rowse, Shoemoney (Jeremy Schoemaker), John Chow, and Steve Pavlina, Courtneytuttle, all of which I read daily.
Publish an RSS feed . An RSS feed is a news feed that people can subscribe to. They can see if you have written new entries on your site without having to go there.
Setup your feed on feedburner. This makes your feed subscriptions easy to track and allows you to encourage users to subscribe. After you have quite a few subscribers, it makes getting additional subscriptions easy.
Comment on other blogs. Always fill in the URL box so that the owner can find your site. Good comments will spark more interest than dull ones.
Respond to comments left on your blog. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been able to get full write ups about this site just because I responded to people’s questions and comments. When people’s questions are answered, you become the authority. People can’t help but link to the authority.
Respond to your email. Be kind to people. Be cool to people. Help them with their questions. If it’s a hard question to answer, post the answer on your site so that you get the content.
Link out to other blogs like crazy. If you link to interesting articles on other blogs, they will link back to interesting articles that you have. Bloggers usually check their site stats every 30 seconds, they’ll see that you have linked to them. (It’s an addiction!)
Offer to be a guest blogger.
Timestamp your posts.
Show related posts in your blog entries.
Use deep-linking. Deep-linking is when you link to older posts or pages in new posts or pages. This article links to quite a few of my older articles that I think are good resources for the people reading this one. This can help your readers and expose your good work to them.
Use meme trackers to find hot topics.
Do blog reviews. Tons of webmasters will link to you in exchange for reviewing their site.
Do link exchanges. You never know if a site or blog will exchange links with you, unless you ask.
Add a page that invites people to link to you. Offer to link back. Ask them to link to an interesting article on your site and tell them that you’ll link to an interesting article on their site. Create a contact form so that they can let you know quickly and easily that they have taken you up on your offer. For an example you can see my “Exchange Links” page. You have to be willing to help others or this method will never work.
Trade blogroll links.
Ask me to do a link exchange. Better yet, link to me first and then ask me to linkback. I will! Even better, link to me everyday and don’t ask for me to link back. You can get a link from me here.
Get a MyBlogLog account. MyBlogLog.com is like MySpace for bloggers. It it a place where bloggers go to meet each other and find new blogging friends. You can link to your blog(s) from your profile page, and other bloggers will have a chance to check out your work, which could lead to additional links.
Start a MyBlogLog.com Community. You can create your own community that members can join. Be extra social and invite members to join your community. This exposes a lot more bloggers to your site.
Do article exchanges with webmasters on your field.
Do a scheduled, recurring guest blog exchange with someone from your field. Writing for each other can give you both exposure to a new group of individuals that are interested in your field. You can link to resources on your own site each time.
Read your posts before publishing. Edit, edit, and edit again. Make sure they’re right before you show them to the world. Make sure your writing is easy to read and grammatically correct.
Run spell check. This probably sounds stupid but I’ve been called out in my comments a few times and I doubt that I’ll get any links from the people that noticed my spelling errors.

Wait a minute ! Where are the rest of the powerful ways ? Go on reading here …

As for me, I need time to digest the 33 ways mentioned above and implement them one by one before I go on with the list.

Remember this saying, ” Persistence Is The Mother of Success.“ Practice what you have known, that is the 102 ways mentioned by Courtney, again and again instead of searching for new ways all the time.
