The Content is King vs links are King is an age old discussion but in your optic of creating a blog with followers / fans, I’d agree with your chosen monarch

Hi Leo,
An age old discussion but still working well. In order to receive higher rank on Google which is mean more traffic, your website must have:
1. Good content
2. Good quality inbound links
3. Active human activity
These already proved by myself from my previous company and with my Samui Art Gallery site.
Thank you for stopping by.

Hi Rose, article marketing has worked well for us so far and would be very interested to start doing some guest posts. I will work up an art tutorial for you
Hi Paint Basket Art Classes,
Would be really appreciated. Will wait for your writing.
Thank you for stopping by.
I would say nothing comes easy when you have a new blog. I am still waiting for the first comment so even if my blog is open for contributors I don’t hold my breath. Most people use the Google toolbar and when they see N/A for the PR they are not wasting the time on my blog. What they don;t really take into account is that any blog can grow up one day and we never know when we just wasted some opportunity. I will follow your blog at Networked Blogs and I hope to get more interaction with other bloggers.
