Ok, let's try explaining it this way.
Relevant Link Directory Category --- link pointing to ---> My Relevant Blog = OK (one set of blogs, category, ie, Loans)
My Relevant Blog --- link pointing to ---> Relevant link Directory Category = OK (another set of blogs, category, ie, Loans (but home loan sector, but the "Loan" category is only available, so it still fits)
What you're not doing here is thinking outside the box, laterally.
Here's an image I just quickly drew up.
The blue arrows represent the "Blog Trail" Blog blogroll links, and or blog articles point to each of those green arrows. and so on and so on.
If you got say 3 links from each of those places above pointing to other articles to the other places, which also point to yours, it increases the relevancy factor cos you're not just doing one thing here like most people do, ie, get links from social bookmarking sites to their pages, or article directories to their pages, and so on. all they are doing is one set of linking, they're not improving the relevancy factor of their articles they submit out to these places, but only to their articles on their site, so by doing it the way I suggest, builds an authority factor on the other places you placed articles on. As the articles build authority, your main pages on your site increase in ranking. Why? Cos we're building a string of documents linking to other documents around the same topic / subject / niche / semantically related topic. This improves user experience, there are no dead ends, links to other resources keep going and going and going.
See the inner blue arrows? ie, blog to site, article dir to site, squidoo to site, hub pages to site, s.b sites to site, link dir to site, classifieds to site, ezine groups to site, blog to site.
K, now move the arrows around one, and start the process again starting from article directories. and so on til you come full circle.
Once you've done that, create another outer circle with links coming from other sources that point to the green arrows and also your site's pages.
What do the sites with "p" on them represent?
