Websites like these..

Hi, I'm new to link building. I have done some research of my competitors and have found that many of them are being linked to sites like this http://www.worldofwondersvu.com/
As you can see, this website looks like a business website, but if you view the content, it's spammed with external links.
I'm just wondering what method they are going about to get these links, because most of the websites that are linking to them are simular to the one I posted above!
Thanks

Exactly, you do NOT want to do what most of your competitors do....
Do NOT buy links from link brokers & directories.
Do NOT spam random blogs with comments.
Instead you can look into guest blogs about your unique niche market.
Hyperlocal directories that are related to your sites/business city.
Add good content to your own site with longer tail key phrases....

We have looked into doing this, but we was just spammed by Tumblr links which ended up dropping us in the rankings for some keywords.
Thanks for the reply.

They are buying those links from websites that sell links.
Fiver.com is one huge place to buy links.
People advertise you can buy 10 2pr links all over the place.
The downside is that buying links is it is thought of as Black Hat.
Google regularly de indexes sites like this one all the time.
Google is also dropping rankings of sites that use these sites.

Selling on eBay and Amazon, does it have a negative impact our your website?
_We sell on multiple platforms I.e own website, eBay, Amazon and have noticed over the last few years to hold a page 1 ranking on Google is becoming more and more difficult as the SERPs are saturated with the big brands. _ My question is, we've loaded all of our products and there lovely unique descriptions to eBay and Amazon, is there any chance that this content is helping eBay and Amazon rank (may be not by much!), but certainly not doing us any favours. As effectively why would you show our site in the search results for a product range, when all of the content/products already appear on eBay/Amazon which is several SERPs places higher? Is Google not inclined to think, "hey no need to show x site, as the content is already features on Amazon, why show it twice?" Any one have any thoughts?

Thoughts on Nofollow My Account / Shopping Cart Pages on an eCommerce Website
I recently noticed most of my competitors (eCommerce sites) have linked to pages within their sites that do not always contain product information (my account, shopping cart, etc) using rel="nofollow". My site does not currently do this. Are there any advantages to using rel="nofollow" on similar pages on our site? Any disadvantages?

For example take these two websites. www.rfasecurity.co.uk is a site that Iam working on and have had some success with yet snifferdogs.org.uk seems to be poorly optimised with little backlinks and still gets place higher. is it due to the key word in the domian name?

I would like a good SEO company
Hi, I know this must be a repeated question but I would like to have an SEO company that would take care of getting my site on the top three pages of google and I would like some advice over my website. I have been investing in link building for a month now but I think my meta tag might not be the most appropriate, i should probably have various and came across your website. I have found zero negative feed back on your company, I run other business but this is my first online experience and don't have the time to give it the SEO so with that in mind I would like to know what SEO packages would you recommend for my business and in what time would I be seeing page ranks in google bing and yahoo. I hope you can help me out, I'm a newbie at this and my online business is interesting and want to see it already operating my website is sheep buy.com, concept is people can sell for free, not just post an item like a classified site but actually sell for free through paypal and we don't charge a fee, so would really want some insight. Hope you can help me out. Beat regards Jerry
