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?

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!!

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.

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.
