Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I would work on the load times, I'm a small sample, but it was a very slow load time.

*not sure why I got 2 thumbdowns, google takes site speed very serious.. look in webmaster tools.

I've heard nothing but horror stories....

Isn't Google smart enough to have a list of common proxies and not count them for any changes?

I'm finding very conflicting results with my clients thinking that they are ranked higher or in some cases lower than what a non-related fresh computer network shows. The social results really are changing the landscape of seo!

I'd also add if I may to keep the backlinks within your niche for getting started.

I also am in the group of, don't take it down. People just need to see the publication date and make their own judgments.

If I may be so blunt: What do you ask people on the mechanical turk to do? estimated costs?

I agree, talk with bloggers in your niche, post your article to them in email if you can trust them enough. Public facing submission sites are too spammy.

I also target offsite anchor links for products, seems to be the best method.

How are you doing your backlinks? Can you focus on a more narrow demographic target?

The best method I've found is to create tons of keywords in my video tags/descriptions. The type of camera I used, the lens information, tons of details about the topics.

They had an ad in the superbowl, I've heard from 5 different clients about if they should buy the .co after that.

I'd try to funnel them into twitter followers... can market to them in multiple ways

I agree with peterm22, but I'd also wanna know where are your targeted customers?

I'm not seeing those either, some kinda firefox plugin? or are you logged in your account? do you own those domains?
