    It means to create something that naturally attract backlinks for your web page by getting people to talk about it, discussing it on forums, blogging about i, posting it on del.icio.us/Furl/Digg/Shoutwire and linking to it from their sites. It also attracts a lot of visitors.

    Here is a list of ideas:

    * Make a valuable resource (lists, special reports, history of, how to, etc.)
    * Interview (e-mail/phone) prominent people and publish it.
    * Build a useful tool
    * Write an interesting article
    * Run a newsworthy ‘event’ such as a contest
    * Test something new that has not been done before
    * Be the first in doing something on the internet
    * Write something controversial
    * Be the first to write the latest news in your niche
    * Be the first to expose a scammer
    * Disagree with an authority
    * Write some funny humor
    * Make an interesting picture
    * Be the first to research and document something
    * Make a theme, plugin or piece of software
    * Make a tool that others can put on their sites but that links to you
    * Make a joke about a known person
    * Make a resource that is just in time for a major event
    * Write an outrageous theory and back it up with logics
    * Write useful comments on something that is happening
    * Give something valuable for free
    * Coin a new acronym in your niche and get people to talk about it
    * Become an expert in your niche and write valuable information

    why...?
    If one blogs sole to get money then i am sure that he/she will not succeed.....
    but if one blogs for passion then after some months the money and traffic will automatically come into his/her pocket :lol:

    I find that if you blog for money and actually make money, it becomes a passion. :D
