    go to backlinkwatch.com OR yahoo Explorer

    It depends on your site and niche... however, SEO cannot be defined.

    By sending REPORTS weekly

    Yes, those are the STRONGEST backlinks

    I definitely need to check out the backlink checking tools, I've been searching for a good one for awhile now. I don't believe that blog comments are the best backlinks source out there, unless you're actually posting a link back to your site within the comment you leave, that also directly pertains to your site. Other than that, your username with a link back to your site only counts for so much.

    essentially a link is a link-- so place them any which where you care- but there is an art to it if you wanted to get serious...

    if you are wondering - i would have a look for google webmaster tools blog and vids on youtube... they are a good introduction..

    as for a routine -- not as such -backlinks have to look natural and not manipulated... would a backlink to your site really appear on the site you can get a link from? would i look orgainc or would it look manipulated - the skills only really come in when you are goin after the big keyterms like "bingo" or mobile phones - the rest of the time just set the anchor text of your link to the desired keyterm and surrouns it with content preferably in its own <p> tags...

    just og for it mate - theres nothing to loose by laying a link here, there or anywhere... social bookmarking is a good place to start as these get your sites cached and as long as the onsite optimisation is upto scratch -- google will sort out the listing of your site over time...

    Good luck and stay on it

    As said by KathyMillerL222, backlinkwatch.com OR yahoo Explorer is highly recommended.

    Well, there's a third option now: Open Site Exporer. It should work OK for US websites, from what I can tell.
