I dont put much stock in backlinks. My first blog attempt, a green living blog, made me $8 it's first month with no backlinks ad only 5 posts. It was indexed by google very fast as well. I really think the niche is a lot more important. You have to offer something no one else is offering otherwise why am I gonna go to your site, ya know? I think my blogs are unique in that (in the art one) I go into the responsability of creating art and effecting culture, and give the silly how tos the less intellectual people want. My green living blog is unique I think because it's not intimidating or bossy like "this is the only acceptable way to go green" since it is really a bunch of short stories based around my adventures in exploring green concepts ;p as soon as I fix the layout tongiht I am going to post about making a kitchen garden as a gift to my friends, going into the specifics of gardning in the tropics, soil quality, plant choice, and urban problem such as neighbors who steal plants. ;p
I dont get a ton of page views but I get a quite a bit of money per click. Thats the ratio I'm trying to keep up....
