DONALD SENSING HAS advice to bloggers on how to get other bloggers to link. My advice, echoing what Eugene Volokh has said, is to sell the post, not the blog. I frequently get emails from people saying “I started a new blog,” but when I follow the link the new blog has only one or two posts, one of which is “well, here’s my new blog.” I’m much more likely to link to a post that has something relevant to what I’m already writing about, or that has something new that I should be writing about.
