Wired recently ran another “How To” with this one including sage advice from Technorati founder, Dave Sifry on how to make your blog more popular:
1) React quickly. (Nothing is more fun than calling an A lister on hype or fluff)
2) Make your posts easy to read. (Usability never goes out of style)
3) Link, link, link! (Amen - link in and link out)
4) Optimize for search engines. (Get some tasty blog optimization)
5) Post, post, post! (Yes and no - It’s just not always practical to post 5 - 10 times a day)
There are also several tips on sprucing up your MySpace site, Amazon Picks and reblogging. Check it out.

Good advice. Is it important to link to/from relevant blogs?
Right, as I mention above - (Amen - link in and link out).
Do you ever care about links from your old posts pointing to old pages and get 404s?
Sure. If you have something in mind, let me know.
