HELP: Do BackLinks To Sites Help?

[koolkrazy]

Hi All!

I started with an small links exchange on my site to boost up rankings. I went to google, MSN, Yahoo, HOTBOT and found out all the sites that link to me and then i put their links on my site in an Links Resources Page.

Should this help me get an better ranking in google? cos till now it hasnt. I know i should be patient but its been over 3 months wait!

Any one to help!

Mr Koolkrazy - hello :)

As an extreme example, totally different from your website, take a look at mine: Laser Eye Surgery (http://www.blogstudio.com/woodgnome/laser.html). I have no links whatsoever to anyone. Why? I have concentrated my keywords & Search Engine Optimisation for all the different pages - so that they rank well in Google for many laser eye surgery orientated phrases & keywords. (It's also a big bonus for Google Adsense earnings as the only way out is a click on an adverte ;) )

I think you need to look at your SEO a bit. Although meta tags are not that important anymore, I notice you have shakira, laundry service as yout two main keywords. I doubt anyone will be searching for them, although you do have those words used once on your page.

Equally, crazy & cool in Google brings up zillions of other sites before crazy with a "K" is found.

What are your competitors doing on other "crazy cool" sites? Right click and "view the pages source" - check out their meta tags. Use "ctrl F" on your keyboard - how many times do their keywords appear on their pages - and how many of their keyords are likely to be the words that people are using to find a "cool & crazy" website?

I hope all this helps :)
