What happened to linking to blogs you like/read (also called blogroll) and letting develop such ring (or rather network) organically? It's quite common among law blogs i.e. Popehat, SCOTUSblog, ..., also among various science blogs: Language Log, Observational Epidemiology, Critical Inference, ... But for some reason it's rare among techies. It almost looks that because they know about SEO, they are afraid of outside links so not to lower their own search positions.

Some blogs link to websites in citations with rel nofollow, but there's no organic seo in it <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/" https://news.ycombinator.com/" rel="nofollow">HN</a> someone ought to reinvent el goog again
