I Think Therefore I Link is a great blogger motto, however, it is for the selfless. Just like in life, you have to "link" in order to receive "links".
Not all links are created equal either. While link farms and viral tags may increase your Technorati rating, they will NOT increase your PR. The best way to get your PR up is by getting links with the "PR big wigs". One link from a PR 5 is far more important than 10 links on a PR 1.
Another big issue is linking on other site with your main page URL. One of the best things you can do, is to link to a past article instead. This gets the reader to a more interesting article, which in returns, gets you a more traffic to the post but, more importantly, to your blog/website.
Want to know when someone else links to your site? Track Engine is a great place to start. I also check out Technorati to see who has linked to me. They update frequently.
In conclusion, be wise about you link to and don't get caught up in all the link farm hype. Link from other sites to your articles and you will get quality traffic.

Are You Killing Yourself?
We all participate in link exchanges but how many can kill your site? A link to your site has traditionally been accepted by Search Engines as a vote for your site. A link from a topic or theme-related site to yours is better than a link from a site having a completely different topic.
BUT, things have changed. The fact is, Google doesn't approve of link-building schemes, and have recently made the leash a bit shorter.
Bad links can kill your site. Say you get involved in a link building foursome with a porn site you didn't even know you were linked to because you're too busy linking to everyone; you have just created a bad link and this will have a negative impact on your site.
Reciprocal Links are helpful but worthless at the same time. You link to a site in exchange for a link on their site. A link from you to someone else basically deducts one vote from your total vote count... meaning its value is minimal when compared to a 1-way incoming back-link!
1-way Outward Links really are one of the worst things you can do to increase your PR. Yes, it's selfish but that's how it is the big world of money hungry sharks. You gain nothing by giving out links with no return. This is why people participate in the no-follow attribute. By doing this, your basically telling the search engines that link is not a vote for your site by that site. Get it? Please know that I do not recommend being selfish. It will only come back to bite you in the butt. If you share, you gain potential readers and maybe future linkbacks.
It's imperative to build links relating to your posts and post titles. Don't link to just your sites name. That doesn't help at all.
Do some research on keywords and your posts and when your linking, be sure to connect the two. It takes time and a little bit of trial & error but if done right, your PR will shoot up.

Ready to Get Viral???!!!
***Copy and Paste below this line***
Instructions:
1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe (to support Jimmy’s quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a shoestring budget, please consider subscribing to his Full RSS Feed to see his triumps and struggles in real time).
2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Viral Tags” in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.
3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.
4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
***Copy and Paste from Above this line***
Please leave a comment with your url and anchor text so I can add you to the matrix.
