Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks I appreciate it.

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering about the merit of using Yahoo Answers to build back links. I find it valuable to keep my ear to the ground but have not seen any of the links coming back. Forgive me if this is a newbie question but I'm still trying to figure it all out.

Thanks so much for that Larry. I do have about 3K likes on our FB page and 139 on our site and I've done my best to leverage the personal networks I belong to. I also distribute my blog posts to FB, Twitter, Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Reddit and Tumblr but I'm sure there's more I could do. Any suggested reading?

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking for some time and really appreciate the combined expertise of everyone here. Forgive me for beng a noob but, despite having searched the forum for relevant questions, I still can't seem to find the exact advice I'm looking for. Here's the deal:

We are a small, aftermarket automotive tint and accessories store and are completely online. We have been in business since 2003 but primarily on eBay and Amazon. Our site was always tertiary but we have really begun to ramp it up in the last 12 to 15 months. I have only really been tracking our PR numbers and backlinks using Alexa, Site Explorer and Majestic SEO for the past 3 months but the numbers don't seem promising.

I read as much as I can and have posted a number of articles, press releases, commented on blogs, started a ring of blogs and participate in related forums but am having trouble adding backlinks. How to do so when you don't have a big budget for it? Any tips or blind spots that I'm just not aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Mike

Thank you guys for your replies. It was precisely getting blacklisted that  I was worried about.

Has anyone used this product? I'm very interested in using it to help automate some of my efforts but want ot be sure they won't submit to bad directories, etc... Your advice is appreciated.

Best,

Mike

I'm  a noob too so I would be interested to hear what the pros have to say.
