Difference is I walk the walk and you two talk ( but nobody is listening ) And back to the "debate" how does one get "whitehat" links if the site does not have articles etc......
I think you know better than us as you already had that BS business to get rank in top 50 results in just $9.99
21 grand for that site? C'mon now. If your site can't get "whitehat" links it simply doesn't deserve them and you shouldn't be in this game regardless of the niche. Produce quality and be patient, every Google update pushes another bunch of spammers down and your trickle of traffic will increase. Utilize FB, Pinterest or whatever intelligently and again if your content is good you will get likes or followers. This isn't a theory, this is what I've done, I look forward to Panda and Penguin because all the backlink spamming sites disappear and I move up. You can choose to listen to me or you can choose to continue wasting your time, it's of no consequence to me.
do you have a scrapebox? if you do have it have a option of doing that. let me know if you need help on doing that
S.Cool - there are both manual and automated ways to find do follow blogs. To do this manually, you could search on google for sites that pertain to your keyword and provide blog commenting capability. For example, if your niche is dog training, you could use the following query in Google: "dog training" "leave a comment". you could also grive deeper into the Google serps by adding delimiters such as "-2012 -2011" to eliminate older blogs. Then you need to look at the PR of the URLs to see if they will pass PR and verify that they are do follow blogs. there are automated tool like Scrapebox, that automate the searching and posting of comments.
