If you have to start a new site, how do you distribuite your backlinks? What % to your home page? Waht % to your money pages (review, sales page, etc)? What % to other pages? And when it starts to rank?
If it is a new site, pay attention to the the home page & web pages with important content. Generate Traffic to your site, grow in your niche & then focus on the money pages. I don't know if there is a fixed % for distributing backlinks.
I tend to start off sending about 70% to my main page and 30% to other pages. Once the main page is ranking well I generally flip that around to rank the other pages while maintaining my main page's rankings.
