    Make sure the links are actually relevant, however. If you don't your website will just look spammy.

    I HATE it when Engadget will include a link that is merely a search of their blog for the word I clicked on.

    Laura you are right, relevant links are important, and creatinf blog posts just for the purpose of linking isn't a good idea either. Readers will see right through attempts to mislead them.

    Thanks Laura.

    Hey Thom! This recommendation has helped to double my traffic. I have created a top 10 post and a coaching post for my readers. They have links to articles I have written in the past. I use them when I am assisting people with their interview process. I give them one link that has 10-12 links in it and they go from there. I also have links to these two post in my sidebar as an additional resource to my readers. I think I heard it from Darren over at problogger first. I did it and it made a huge difference in my pageviews!!

    Darlene,

    Yes, I think I saw the archive link on Darren's site too, but a good friend of mine also recommended I do it.

    Is this also known as deep linking?
