I'll be participating too and using a domain that I bought a few months ago. It's BEST IN WOOD dot com.
Ok, I'm writing conent and getting ready to start posting some things up. I've got some affiliate links picked out for my niche. (I'm a big planner). On my list as a high priority is a 'link campaign'. Other than the usual methods of putting it in my sig, submitting to directories, writing articles, etc., what am I missing?
Also, is there any directories that are better than others?
Last question: Paying someone to do directory submissions. (I've seen some good reviews on some folks on the For Sale forum) Is it a good or bad thing to do? Will I see a bump in traffic from this? If so, how effective are they and how many should I buy? Honest feedback here.
If my priorities are out of whack, let me know. What is everyone else doing as their first steps?
