And yes I have bought your list of backlink sites, I haven't had a chance to go through it in detail yet but it looks like a very valuable resource so far. Now I just have to find the time to get going with building backlinks. YAY for this great information Mike, as always appreciated. I just have some questions quickly if you don't mind.... the blog directories do I submit individual posts or do I just submit my main domain? Maybe I should check out those websites before I ask but I get confused sometimes how things work.
