I tried looking for link exchanges but everyone looking for a exchange wants a higher or similar PR.

I will look into the lazy way of link building.

Submit your site to link directories.

There's a list of them here: http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/f...html?sort=prup

For starters don't submit your site to any search engines. Directories, yes, search engines, no. The search engines will automatically pick up your site and quicker if you go about right than when hand submitting. All of the search engine submission sites and tools are a waste of time and money.

Good luck with the site!

Agreed.

I see a lot of people pushing those autosubmit sites, and I'm not trying to criticize people's web sites, but I have had better results, by far, by just allowing the search engines to find my sites naturally (by following links) than submitting them.

Exactly.

Personally, I'd stay away from reciprocal linking at first too. And never reciprocal link with a site that is not related to your own.

I would also add that putting the link in your forum signatures is a big help too. But then that forces you to be active on the forum to get the link more active.

Forum signature links can be extremely helpful. I had one of my websites go from PR0 to PR5 just because I added it to all of my signatures.

Yes (as long as you follow their rules) but unique content is better than republishing articles.

Unique content and targetted surfers is the best but if you don't have any don't worry

The quickest method i found is to buy a link for just one month from a PR7 or PR8 site
Your site will be in no time to search engines but from that point you should build your site's linking strategy

The links they worth a lot are the ones you get from sites that you don't link to them
In other words one way linking is the best.

Making your surfers to recommend and respect your site is the ultimate goal for any webmaster

ok here comes the dumb part of my brain what is a blog?

I just wanted to start earning a little adsence income so far $0 for 2 months about 20 uniques a day (yes I know it isnt much) Ill be happy to see 2c a day

also I will have a arcade site and a joke site soon I just wanted to know something about yahoo answers I use to put my link in with the answer so that it created a backlink is that a good way to get backlinks?? I will try that with my arcade and joker site as I guess the answers section is for people who have to much time on their hands to answer bullshit.

heres whats happening with directory submissions

www.pokertutorials.info is being submitted to 400 directories (Paid I cannot be buggered submitting to 400 directories)

www.funny-joker.com has been submitted to 500 directories and has already been setup ect. has a very small income (thats what the previous buyer said)

www.arcaderush.net has been submitted to nothing (im now broke.)

Short for weblog, a site where someone posts their thoughts. Many blogs are now topic specific. You can use blog software like WordPress (free).

Now that your site is being submitted to directories, write some articles for each and submit those to article sites.

Write articles on the topics of each site for each site. Photoshop techniques for your tutorial site, history of jokes for your joke site, and then in the bio place links to the relevant site (not all your sites).

I've used http://www.articlesender.com/ to submit articles for me. For $20 they submit to a huge number of article sites (for me I thought it was better just to get them to do it than spend the time on it).

Originally Posted by blue^ray

The point of articles isn't so much traffic, is having your link on a very relevent page with all the keywords you want (since you wrote the article). This helps because you grow your backlinks, but you also grow them 1) on relevant pages, and 2) use your keywords in the anchor text of the link so you target exactly what keywords you want.

Blue,

You are competing for very highly competitive markets: poker, jokes, and arcades. Having so many competitive sites make it much more difficult to get good organic search rankings.

Getting a good ranking takes time. It won't happen overnight, especially in a competitive market. In fact, Google gives preferences to older sites which is a part of the Google Sandbox effect.

Here are some ideas to improve your popularity via the search engines:

1. Grow your backlinks to your site.
a. Hand submit to directories. Higher PR, the better. (Tons of free ones)
b. Submit your article to article directories and submission services. Make sure to leave your link info at the bottom of your articles. (Many free ones)
c. Submit your press release to press release directories and submission services. (There are many free ones)
d. Submit your links to classified ads sites. (Tons of free ones)

2. Start writing some unique content for your site. Set a schedule for yourself; maybe write a new article once a week. This isn't much work, but Google will appreciate the new articles, especially if unique and not found anywhere else.

3. Top 10 organic search results are very difficult to obtain in competitive markets, so you'll have to be somewhat patient. And, remember to stay ahead of your competitors. Study the top 10 sites, and look at what they're doing.

Finally, I think you have a good domain name there for the poker site. Having a good domain name is also important for search rankings as well. For instance, if someone were to type in "poker tutorials" as the keyword, there's a good chance your site will pop up top 10 if you have some link popularity. The fact that your domain name consists of 2 generic dictionary words is great.

Just my two cents. There are many more things you may do, but that's an entire book.

Any opinion on yahoo answers? link with the answer = backlink and yahoo answers would have a nice PR as well. lets say i spend 1 night answering questions and i get 500 answers(im not sure how many just a example) made with my link to my arcade site.

I will probbaly spend the most time just getting the 2 sites up and fully running. I'll let pokertutorials update itself while the site is being submitted to sites and concentrate on my arcade site I hope he has finished the template.
