ooh, about the spamming thing, you could do that, but i think it would work out better if you did something like this. well, what i do, is add my site to my sig, find forums that i am genuinly interested in, example, this forum, and post, post, post. think about it. everytime that you post, there is another link directing to your site. it is definately better than having a link farm which is very unatractive, and if you spam, your posts are going to be removed anyway. so every thursday or friday, i dedicate most of the day just posting. not only for this. you hit more than 2 birds with one stone. i have found about 20 good web designing forums through google. if i have found them through google, there pr's are obviously good. if i go to that site once a week, i am going to learn more than if i don't. i have tons of links pointing to my sig. then there are the forums who beg you to spam. this is good if you find them on the first page of google, why not right?
