Admit it! When the e-mail hits your inbox that a reader of your blog commented on the post you just published, you just put off approving the comment for an hour or two since it’s a painful process – starting up the browser, logging into Wordpress, going over to moderate comments and approving it.

Or when you see that comment which skipped Akismet spam catcher you just need to log in and mark it as spam before the virus spreads deep into your beloved blog community. Or., you just auto-approve all the comments since it’s a hassle to approve all the blog comments.

Not anymore!

Some say that SEO is dead and some say it’s not. But what most of them will agree on is that “links” are still the trump card for the Internet Marketer in the new world. And so, I would list here 24 of the best link building strategies that I think you guys will find useful.

I made an attempt to make this list a practical one, not trying to push in the other 101 link building tactics that you wouldn’t find useful in today’s Web 2.0 SEO world.

One of my readers, Sajjaad sent me an e-mail few days back and asked me this question. He wanted to know whether starting a blog in a blog community was in fact better than starting an individual blog in a free blogging platform. What he didn’t say was “Hint – this is a trick question”:-)

The amount of friends that you have determines the amount of money that you will make online! I have recently been networking like crazy with other Bloggers.

I’ve really been trying to make friends online by

• Helping others
• Sharing ideas
• Collaborating

among other things. But more importantly, I have noticed some major changes in traffic and subscribers due to the fact that I am networking so well with other Bloggers.

Google Analytics, without a doubt is the leading site statistics tracking tool in the terms of usability, on the web. But, in a dynamic environment such as a Wordpress blog, we are too often limited to only experience a fraction of the features offered through Google Analytics.

You may just want to track the number of visits to you blog, or you might want to track every outbound link or even AdSense cliks and YPN too. Whatever your needs are, the following Wordpress plugins can give you exactly what you need from Google Analytics, without the hassle of copying and pasting tracking codes to all your pages.
