surprise backlinks

any SEO's familiar with the cliche adage that if you create decent content, backlinks will follow.

I've neglected my blog a bit as of late. actually, I never even got entirely in the habit of updating regularly yet (or getting a new layout for this thing...) however, after google's recent backlink update I ran to check a few sites, especially newer ones. while most of the results were most or less what I had expected, the backlinks for my blog definitely weren't.

I haven't really put any insane amount of work into this thing- I made a few moderately interesting posts, I think, but not a ton- but even with just that (only 7 entries!) some natural links were alreading showing up.

suppose that's reason enough to start updating more regularly, eh?
