Whilst I don’t advocate spamming other bloggers and asking for links - I would recommend that if you write a quality post on a topic that you know will interest another blogger that it might be worth shooting them a short and polite email letting them know of your post. Don’t be offended if they don’t link up, but you might just find that they do and that in addition to the direct traffic that the link generates that it helps build your own page rank in the search engines

The top 4 search engines are as follows:

1. Google.com - The best of the best, what can we say about Google that others haven’t Read our detailed review of Google with tips on submission and ranking.
2. Yahoo.com - Yahoo is getting better and better! Their Yahoo Directory is also very popular.
3. MSN.com - Microsoft’s attempt to get a piece of the search engine pie. They are also catching up fast.
4. Teoma.com - A search engine to look out for. Their results do seem to vary considerably from the above.

In order to not be repetitive in our advice we recommend you read our article on Google Submission, Ranking and Tips. You should be able to do well on all the other search engines too, though ranking and time period for updations may vary.

Rebooting a computer just means that you’re restarting it, so there are a couple of ways to do it. There’s usually a power button in the front of your computer, but if it’s still not responding to that (and I wouldn’t recommend doing this all of the time), you can just pull the plug from your computer and plug it back in and when you hit the power button it will start back up.

Possibly one of the most important aspects of all in blogging is brand-building. As Zefrank noted, to be a great brand, you need to be a brand that people want to associate themselves with and a brand that people feel they derive value from being a member. Exclusivity, insider jokes, emails with regulars, the occassional cat post and references to your previous experiences can be offputting for new readers, but they’re solid gold for keeping your loyal base feeling good about their brand experience with you. Be careful to stick to your brand - once you have a definition that people like and are comfortable with, it’s very hard to break that mold without severe repercussions. If you’re building a new blog, or building a low-traffic one, I highly recommend writing down the goals of your brand and the attributes of its identity to help remind you as you write.

Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. I actually recommend having the tags right on your page, pointing to the Technorati searches that you’re targeting. There are other good places to ping - del.icio.us and Flickr being the two most obvious (the only other one is Blogmarks, which is much smaller). Tagging content can also be valuable to help give you a “bump” towards getting traffic from big sites like Reddit, Digg & StumbleUpon (which requires that you download the toolbar, but trust me - it’s worth it). You DO NOT want to submit every post to these sites, but that one out of twenty (see tactic #18) is worth your while.
