Hi there,
This is my first post, Great forum. I am very green to search engine placement. So my questions may seem obvious.
I have read in your forums that backlinks are a major key in page ranking. My site
www.shopbam.co.uk has, a
PR of 3. My competition is fierce. I think the number one spot has something like 113,000 links to it. I think link farms (directories) are excluded from this equation. How on earth can you raise anything like this amount of backlinks? Do I just give up?
I have paid for 750,000 listings but I think these will all be deemed as link farms and not help my rating.
I have read a lot of posts and have tried to maximise my site to the words "shopping" and "shopping uk", from the advise in these forums.
Under "shopbam" I have the no 1 spot only because of its unusual name but for shopping,-nothing. can anyone help?
Thanks
Mark
