Next, display your expertise by writing articles related to your website and submit them to top article directories. Write and submit press releases to top press release directories. These efforts will create long lasting back links raising your website’s presence.
Technique 3: Social Media
People receive a great deal of their information online from search engines and social media websites.

Josh I agree. It's a little more complicated than this, but some good tricks for blogs are to have the images get picked up by the search engine crawlers by labeling them with key words. Sometimes a great photo is named arbitrarily, not giving it any importance in the mighty eyes of Google. Also, installing the WP plugin Platinum SEO pack will help tremendously. Getting on a friends blogroll is a great way for link backs, among with commenting (ie adding value) on popular sites which will in turn make people want to connect with you further at your site. ~ Marcelle
