It is remarkable how circular the blog world is. Case in point. Consider this 101 tips to improve your web presence article, which in tip number 87 gives:

87. "Link baiting" means writing some killer content that people will want to link to. Like a "101 Tips to Improve Your Web Presence" list!

I also like tip number 34:

34. Find quality and relevant blogs and leave a comment (with a link back to your site of course).

I see a lot of enthusiastic commenters followed that advice on the article itself.

Another nice pair of tips, so to speak, were 28 and 29:

28. Get a custom t-shirt made with your website url on it, and wear it often.
29. Ask a large breasted lady to wear one too.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose...
