What struck me when all the banks where going down the pan is how easily the "billion" was used, when I was younger that seemed to be a massive number, but now people always talk in billions when revering to cuts etc.

I also do not understand how we can give the banks say

You may also find using yahoo site explorer useful for back link checking

If we wanted to keep this thread from being indexed by google Steve (forum boss man) would set this thread to "nofollow" so the spiders would not index this page or follow any of the links, most peoples blogs are set as nofollow so posting on them carries not linking benefit as such.

How to check?

View the source of a page through your browser then press F3 a little box comes up, type in what you are looking for , in this case nofollow and that will tell if a page is nofollow.

Hope that helps

There are many instances where what you hear happens and what actually happens with search results in google are at odds.

However a good strong link will always trump a load of crap links

Steve was news to me as I never entered - I will gladly bow out and let the original winner take his prize.

I agree with Mike, you will have people offering seo for peanuts which is one of the reasons I don't really offer it as a service any more.

If you believe there is a genuine business opportunity for your product you should think about paying for someone like Mike who offers it as a service, I often say to people if I had a business that required some legal work done for it I would not train myself up as a lawyer so that I could do the legal side of things.

Ask Mike for an informal proposal and some ideas I am sure he can you get you going in the right direction and as he said this is not an overnight thing.

Amongst a number of things google likes anchor text and normal looks like this:

<a href="http://www.mylocalforums.com">Business Forum</a>

So the reader would see something like this:

Welcome to our great new business forum, for spam free talk etc

The green highlighted area would be the keywords you are looking to promote on your website and in blogging terms what people would add in a comment.

Hi Linda

I know that it works as I am currently tracking a site for a client where they have got them to a 1st page on google by simply adding anchor text on to random blogs.

What I was going to suggest is a small group band together to post on each others blogs.
