If you are the first to <em>blog well</em> on a subject, you will get links. However, if you are the first to point and say little, you might get a hat tip, you might get ignored. Why take the risk. Make your "first" report be quality content and guarantee yourself the discovery links and credit. Take a look at the top Techmeme and similar blogs/aggregators. The ones with the most links are the ones who say something, not just point. They contribute their thoughts to the issue and people respond by saying "And Y had this to say about Z". @Dexter:

I am new to blogging (though I have been doing business on the web for a decade). I just decided to start a blog a week or two ago, simply to share what I have learned. In researching the marketing of a blog, I was confronted with so many sure-fire "tricks" and "secrets" for building links it was hilarious. I seriously was tired before I even started! Anyway, I decided to let my blog grow organically (much as you decribed here). I just think in the long run, it's better for karma if I'm not begging everyone for a link. =) My goal is to read a lot of posts on other blogs, and comment when I actually have something to say. I think if I do that over an extended period of time, you build a bit of credibility and make some long-term friends. Not to mention, I'm bound to learn a thing or two. We shall see how it goes! Cheers, brian Hi,
