First off, I just have to say that I love these puzzles!!! (Check out this answer I found from another Yahoo Answerer:
I start off with the 1's and work my way up, I first determine where the obvious placements are.
If I can narrow it down to 2 squares in a given box, I put my number, in very small print, in the lower left hand corner of both of the squares in that box.
If one square contains, for instance, a small 3 and a small 6, and another square in that same box also contains a small 3 and a small 6, I know that one of those boxes contains a 3, and one contains a 6. This is so obvious as to be almost silly, but it can give me clues for other placements.
When the puzzle is partially solved, I will try looking at the column or row that is the closest to completion. If it still needs a 7, and all but one of the empty squares are in boxes that already contain 7's, I know where to put my 7.
These are a few of my techniques. When you fail to make progress with one, switch to another, and come up with some of your own.

we should use our brains and instead of probing into it deeper we should concentrate on the simplest things around us.
