I have read you need to get links from sites that are related however how do you find sites willing to give links if your not suppose to exchange or buy them? As it seems the only natural type of links would be people posting about your site or other webmasters possibly talking about and those sites most likely wont pertain to your site. So if you have a I guess I see these all over a proxy site how would you find a place to get links to your site? Is there a certain search string to locate them? Then do you have send a formal type email asking for a link? Then if you try to get a certain rank for a keyword users wont post with a title tag so then again how do you locate people willing to place your link on a related site? As digg and stumble etc are not related to a proxy but yet there are tons on there also like this forum I see tons of signatures with proxy links is this a good way to get backlinks? Or would this only really count as one backlink
