They’re not necessarily A-list bloggers, and they’re chuffed enough to post an article with a link to Blekko and Blekko gear. And from online and offline interactions, those people will probably spread the word to say 100 people (Average number of Facebook friends is 150 as an example).

However, what I see many bloggers do, newbie bloggers in particular, is not really knowing how to use the resources Kristi and so many other bloggers provide to maximize their link building efforts. And yes, you need a mixture of both Dofollow and Nofollow links, because that’s what natural link building looks like.

I want ViperChill to become one of the top marketing blogs in the world and to do that I need to write better articles (at least in my opinion) than any other blogger in this industry. If you want people to stick around on your site and give them everything they need, then Adsense is probably not the best monetisation strategy for you.
