Like junior high, popularity means the most

The popularity contest of blogging and gaining links and traffic doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and work.
Content is king? Not in the heavily saturated blogosphere. Whatever idea you have, however you choose to present it, someone, somewhere will do it as well or better.

Even legendary martial artist Bruce Lee understood this. While the Little Dragon's popularity would have earned him a massive following had he lived long enough to blog, you probably don't have that cushion of love.

Copyblogger said you won't get that love, or the valuable links that feed a blog. Not without working it, baby.

"Bloggers link more often to their friends than anyone else. If you write a reasonably good piece of content that interests their audience, they’ll link to you, mainly because they like you," Copyblogger said.

Copyblogger offered some advice on earning this adoration. Some of it seems more reasonable than others, like volunteering to vote up their posts on social media sites versus writing a guest post on a popular blog. Anyone who can get into a popular blog with a guest post probably has enough high-powered friends to get links from them already.

***Hope this helps someone here at Xomba :)
