A Warning About Paid Links
Several SEO related sites are starting to recommend that you avoid paid links, claiming that its better to focus on the content before you consider linkbuilding tactics.
And i agree completely, the content is far more important then the links. You should focus on the On Page Optimizations, alongside your Content. After all you would want your site to actually be useful for visitors. The quality of your content comes first, after that you may consider linkbuilding tactics, to increase your ranking.
On page optimizations would include, considerations regarding usage of the html title element, the structure of your html and so on. These are again topics which i will cover in future posts, have fun optimizing!
Im not saying that you should spam your site. Im saying that you should consider submitting it to relevant directories, ask business partners to link to you, and consider to ask webmasters of relevant sites, to link back to you. One way to do this, would be to sign up on relevant forums, and inform the moderators about your site, they just might find it useful enough to include it in sticky threads.
You can also submit your site to digg, dzone, and stumbleupon. Etc. There are many SEO related forums where you can find links to other social bookmarking sites, so i wont post a list of links for you here. But you should consider checking out sitepoint, which is a site focused at SEO.
