I agree it all depends on the content of the blog as to whether links are more important than search engines or social networks.

I write about the occasional political issue if it suits my whim, but by and large my blog is about science fiction, movie, and television topics. most of my visitors wind up there because they searched for the latest news on their favorites or some other popular issue being debated. I even wind up getting readers from MySpace or Facebook who have found me because our interests are similar.

I do have a number of links from smaller political blogs, but get virtually no search engine visits from political searches. it does not really matter, I suppose. searching for "Barack Obama" is not going to bring you to my site and I figure anything I write about him any visitor has already read a dozen times before he decides to sludge through my [i]Lost[/i] and [i]24[/i] reviews to see if i have written anything about him.
