    I'm relatively new to SEO, but from the reading I've done -here's my answer:
    1) Backlinks are links that provide a reputation for your site, and essentially vote for your site. Backlinks have to come from a site external to your own, if you have another site and you put a link to one of your sites - you can use googles add site http://www.google.com/addurl/ . If your link appears on another site, you can either add that page yourself or just let google bots index their page when it gets to it.

    2) Way too many things - improve content, improve keywords, avoid spam..

    3) read up on SEO (just google seo articles for beginners and you'll find tons)

    4) All the white hat seo tips will do is to make your content better and your site more indexable - so that bots can read it and will see that a particular keyword appears in your site and will hopefully rank you well for the keyword.

    5) Sandbox is a contested idea (I think it's real), basically a new domain or site ends up being put aside and doesn't move up or down in rankings for a long while. Google likes seniority in domains, so they want a domain that's older because they think its more credible. So google penalizes new domains and sites and it takes a while before they get a pagerank.

    6) Do whatever content suits your site, if your just making a page to make money, forget it - it's mostly likely not going to happen. You have to be interested in what your writing or talking about or else it will be boring or unsuccessful in the long run.

    All the information you need is in these forums, take a good part of your day and surf around and you will find all of the answers you are seeking.

    There is A LOT to learn, way more than can be answered in a simple post.

    Good luck, and welcome!

    SEO Elite could be decent, not really sure about that though. I would read up and become knowledgeable, or hire somebody else to do it.

    IBP (Internet Business Promoter) and WEB CEO are also good tools for SEO.

    2. How can i make better page ratings?

    Use the keywords you would like to rank for as link anchor text whenever possible. For example, instead of using http://www.baddot.com in your signature, use Make Money

    I think you need first to understand what you need and what you want to do before using any seo tool.

    Best advice I can give you is to read a lot about SEO on DP or other forums and seo blogs, and ask when you need a precise answer to a precise question.

    good luck ;)

    Without doubt there seems to be a sandbox "effect" for new domains in competitive fields in GOOGLE.... it has been avoided by some but on the whole most people seem to get hit.

    It would appear it is a set of filters that are tripped by your site, not just a dump where you go....like a placement at the start of a formula one race, perhaps, based on a set of scores your site gets.

    I seen it for a site about website design....didnt rank for my main keywords for 8 months....5-6 months for a site about seo.:eek:

    Dont worry about it. With a bit of foreward planning you can "avoid the filter" by building your site 6-9 months "before you need it" - ie you're leaving your company and you plan to go freelance next year, for instance...:cool:

    You don't really need a lot of tools, good old Google tool bar is always needed and the best place to start.
