Text Link Brokers, building up traffic on a new domain, and Site Building Penalties

    I am in charge of marketing (learning and applying SEO) for www.greatseats.com and www.1strowseats.com , when i started working a year ago, i had no idea about this industry and only had a marketing background, i.e: how the layout of the site and features we offer make customers comfortable and able to buy tickets.... greatseats had been around and had some page rank, i successfuly built up page rank for them,
    However, i had to build up 1strowseats, and had not bought that many links for them.. and i was frustrated in the whole email contact for links... so
    i went to text-link-ads.com, for the last two months i have been spending 7-800$ a month on the site and have not seen any results.... I am starting to wonder if Gooogle is working hard to stop these guys and are dismissing site wide links with the exact same anchor text (which i am unable to change as they only allow one anchor text for each link package)... Worse than that, i have asked these link experts for help and they have been very slow and uninformative in responding to me. I have recently found out about Blue Find, Web Atlas, and other directories. I have started submitting 1strowseats to all of these directories in hope that this will start build link relevance and presence the right way. But how long will this take? Is submitting to 30-40 directories a good way to build up my site? I assume i will need many more links in addition to the directories, but this is a good start, as my altering link text should help google see the links to 1strowseats as natural. Any response, advice, or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    I suggest that you join the adnetwork (link in sig), and if you want a lot of weight right now,

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=6662&page=2

    Bid on this. With 105,000 weight, its worth much more than the 800$ youre spending at text-link-ads. I am in no way affiliated with the sale of that weight.

    I'm not convinced that the Ad Network is perfect. I don't see how it helps my visitors. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that my recording studio website is promoting groceries, yarn, or other junk that just confuses my visitors. Why would a person give a link to a confusing website?

    There may be those who have had great success with the Ad Network, but I think it's days are short lived. Maybe I'm optimistic, but I believe that the search engines are getting better at what they do. I'd rather improve the value of my site to my visitors. The search engine rankings will come. If you have done basic SEO and then provide a great value to your visitors, you will get great rankings.

    I think it is that simple.

    I just don't think that the "provide a great value to your visitors" part is simple. When you figure it out, you'll get a million links to your site.

    brandon,

    Im a link broker and I would suggest to you not to buy sitewide text links they are the easiest give away, other wise buy page at a time it is a little cheaper and should actually help better as it is more closely related to natural link building.

    I would be happy to help you just pm me :)

    If the sitewide text link's price is as same as only homepage's price, I will decide it at once because the more my text link appears, I will get more visitors and more customers as well.

    I found a pretty good list of DoFollow sites on Squidoo where you can manually add your links. I've been going through the list to build links for a bit and have seen positive results in terms of traffic and have received some slight increases in PR.

    The list is at: http://www.squidoo.com/dofollow

    Hope it helps.
