Write articles that can genuinely help people. They'll share links with their friends, family, and co-workers because doing so is actually doing those people a favor. Getting a link on another blog is essentially the same principle at work -- bloggers will link to what they find valuable and worthwhile.

If people aren't telling others about a piece of content, it's probably because they don't consider it worthy of sharing.

If you want to create share-worthy content, make something that you'd refer people to if someone else had created it. If you wouldn't share it, don't be surprised when no one else does either.
