    Which is exaclty why some big companies found themselves kicked out of top Google rankings after Panda. Blog farms = blackhat.

    There is no way you can write software that will build a back link from my site to yours, end of.

    Link builders are a con. No software in the world is capable of automatically build a link to your site, and upload that to my server. That leaves dedicated link providing websites, which Google will consider blackhat and penalise your site sooner or later.

    I know, all images got lost during host move; being worked on at the moment. Local google search brings me up third on widest term ( boiler repair(s) south London ) out of more than half a million, and first or second on a host of other searches e.g. emergency gas leak repair. 2000+ hits a...

    Neither had I ( then again, I've only been doing this a few months ) but the advice in his book is really good. Tolerance for links depends on how useful you find them, and how puritan you are about links. I got banned from one site for posting a link about a site that had nothing to do with...

    Depends on how you define reward. Speaking for myself, I don't see why posters with very useful contributions shouldn't benefit from it. There are many seo "gurus", but none that I have found who match David's talent for "anyone can do it" advice. By sheer coincidence I got...

    One big downside to that. It encourages the production of low value posts. I think we would all be very happy if David Amerland started posting here with links to relevant info.;)

    The best low budget seo tool ever?

    As nobody outside Google really knows what improves your ranking and what doesn't, seo is largely a matter of deduction. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to deduct that the arrival of the PLUS ONE button is likely to be an important factor in serp ranking. It dovetails perfectly with...

    As is the case here, I often have no idea how exactly I ended up on a site or forum. I spend a large chunk of my time searching for information on webdesign and seo, and if a forum looks like it may be of help, I'll join. I haven't worked out what the great importance of do-follow is, so that...

    Maybe a simple rule emphasis is enough. Something along the lines of: you can only post a link if: 1, 2, 3. Personally, I think that it is logical to expect posting of links on any forum to do with websites. It just isn't realistic to expect people to follow instructions like: go to the...

    Getting backlinks - is this a good idea/

    The original host company ( sitsell )were extremely unhelpful and basically did what they could to stop accounts from leaving. They went as far as giving me wrong information as to what was needed to move my site, and simply refused me access to the images that were on their server. In the...

    Why not? My business and website are what it says on the tin. Only because the choice was homepage or no page. Linking to your homepage is the last thing you should do if you have a choice of links options. I only use it if box explicitly says: HOMEpage url. Of course their is a link to my...

    Getting backlinks - is this a good idea/

    One thing I strive for myself, is exposing my site in such a way that most people ( I hope ) who click on links that I publish for whatever direct reason ( example of my latest page, example of what I want to improve looks wise, etc ) also find some information that can be of help to them. I...

    I know, tell me about it. The site was originally set up by an "expert" using some stupid "all in one" provider using templates and diy website compilers. When I took control of the site myself and moved it to a normal host, all the images, buttons and such stopped working. I had to learn the...

    Getting backlinks - is this a good idea/

    The best way to get back links is actually really simple when you think about it. When you go back to the basics, the root purpose of seo is to get more traffic to your site. One of the most effective way of achieving that is getting people to WANT to tell their ( web ) friends: “Hey...
