Hi Jennifer,

This is an older question, and it's probably best in this case to start a new thread with your question so it gets a little more visibility. Thanks!

If you search for Angela Paul backlinks you'll find info about a backlink building service. It's not usually of the type often recommended on the SEOmoz forums, but a search will tell you a little more about it.

Given that you're new to everything, I'd suggest reading through the Beginner's Guide to SEO at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo, especially the sections on links, and read blog posts here as well. It'll help give you an idea of what works and what are cheap shortcuts that may bite you.

If you're looking on forums for opinions, you'll likely find that the opinions vary depending on the forum and the type of people that frequent each forum. I don't use Warrior Forum myself, but the people that go to that forum generally have a different viewpoint than the people who go to the SEOmoz forum. Around SEOmoz, some of those types of link building tactics might get you the same type of response that a sales rep for Omaha Steaks might get at a vegan supermarket.

That assumes that you can get a link to your website from a guest post on Moz.

Go for sites that have readers who are interested in your subject area. YouMoz is a great place for a case study about your marketing efforts, but submitting a post about how to close you swimming pool for the winter and what chemicals to use will get your submission deleted and your account banned -- even if it's a great post that gives information that's really helpful and has relevant links.  You're looking for a place where your content is a good match for the site.
