I often get emailed by new bloggers, asking me to add their blog to my blogroll or link to a specific article.

I typically avoid linking, just because I am asked, instead I tell the blogger that I'll keep an eye on their blog and link to anything I find interesting.

Ok, with that preamble out of the way, here's where I am going. If you want to get your blog on the radar of other bloggers, create something unique and interesting. I've never heard from Andrew Girdwood, but he was smart enough to put together a list of search marketers sharing their photos via Flickr. Not only is this interesting, and going in my bookmarks, but by including the names of popular bloggers, he'll likely get a lot of links from it.

So, instead of blindly emailing bloggers and asking them to link to you, come up with a cool post, link to the bloggers whose attention you want to grab, and let the natural order of the blogosphere do the rest.
