    So what. "Funny pictures" is hardly what I would call a juicy keyword thats gonna make you a fortune. You must need some serious traffic just to make that worth doing.

    Anyway, good luck to you. I believe you know what you are doing and I am sure its paying off. These forums arn't about bitching at one another and I know I shouldnt have got involved.

    $47 to $59 a day isn't a fortune, but adds to my revenue from all my sites ;)

    You know what digital point does to me?!?! it makes me feel like a moron. haha. Why? Cause I have been on here for 4 months and half the stuff people talk about makes no sense to me at all. I can only imagine how well I could be doing with my businesses if I understood half of this jargon. I have been working on and with businesses for 8 years online now and what I do and do not know is soooo obsolete its not even funny. haha. But to the point I'd like to make. Unfortunately the site I run doesnt really have "set site links" but rather... Steelers tickets would come up like this: .com/Event.aspx?EventID=8116 (its all park of a package setup I have from the webmaster who built the site)... The picture? .com/Data/Images/Details/Image8116.jpg ... But search results will look like this: .com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?kwds=Pittsburgh+Steelers So is that good enough to use? The words Steelers would come up a decent amount of time? I am not sure I want that page though as much. Maybe I am screwed, haha. I dunno.

    On another note, how much money do you guys spend to get "backlinks" and what avenue do you recommend I go about getting this "backlinks?" Is there a good format for making a backlink as well... any example of what to do and not to do???? Thanks guys,

    I've spent $5 on a link on a high traffic site related to mine, but other than that $0.
    Its easy to get free backlinks, check out the Link Exchange section here, also submit to Free Directories.

    If you do a site:nowthatshumor.com for my site you'll see over 1,500+ pages indexed and crawled that have ? variables in them :) As long as they are static your fine.

    Its easy and free to get backlinks, but the quality of them are garbage. Directories arent going to do much for you serps wise, and link exchanging isnt great either. You need on-topic, one way links. Unless you have a truely amazing site you arent going to get these links for free. Nobody is going to link to a ticket scalping site without payment so good links are going to cost cash.

    Thats why I have my method to gain backlinks, view nowthatshumor.com and you'll see :) I provide the code to install my pictures on their site, with a provided backlink w/anchor text of my choice.

    I just monthly weed out the sites not displaying the code and restrict their hotlinking access.

    Yeah I noticed how you were building links, but its not an option for sites selling a physical product. It is a good plan though!

    Actually, I have quite a few methods that can work for a site selling something :) Wait till my other sites go live, I have some ideas that will get ripped off left and right... lol :D
