If you put as much effort into actually building a quality site rather then creating all these ways to manipulate the search engines I think you would accomplish more with your time. It really doesn’t take a lot to make a great site as long as you stay with it. If you can out last and out perform your competitors then you will prosper. I have a site that I started about three months ago and I set a goal of what I wanted to accomplish and by when and I haven’t had any problems. Traffic is steadily increasing and so is the rank. I am getting ranked for more and more phrases. I know a lot of people want a high rank and a lot of traffic right away, but it really doesn’t just happen like that!
