FINALLY! after a busy year of links exchanges, promoting and site maps - I got link tree! that's it. I just wanted to ell about that. it definitely made my day!
Congrats, man, share with us your experiences, this is a place not only share your joy, but also your experiences, right? I notice that you have a PR2, and Alexa ranking is over 80 thousands, and less than 1 year old, right? I am curious how much traffic do you get for that site?
I had a lot of problems with a domain, and I had to use longg sub domain. I GUESS Google noticd that it is the same site with a different address so they gave me stuff that a new site won't get..
What,... you mean you submitting to directories helped? (for all the dipsticks that talk crap about directories) Gathering backlinks defiantly helps but i think your sitemap did the trick Congrats to you on your achievement... thx M1
