With all the talk about the best ways to build backlinks, getting recognized by other bloggers, and “tips & tricks�? for promoting your own blog, it’s easy to forget about one of the simplest and most effective ways of marketing yourself: being friendly.

1. Introduce Yourself & Your Blog.
2. Make Friends via MyBlogLog.
3. Pay it Forward.

People spend so much time trying to learn how to game the system, write the best linkbait, and come up with automated methods for promotion, that they tend to ignore the basic strategy of networking. Be friendly to your fellow bloggers and they’ll be friendly to you.
