Developing incoming links for SEO. It’s a painful task but somebody’s gotta do it.
Incoming links to a web site are vital to SEO. The more incoming links the better because each incoming link is like a vote for your site. The more votes, the more Google will like you and give you better rankings in organic results.
Getting incoming links is a daunting task especially because they must be links from high quality web sites. Stay away from link farms or any so called SEO Specialist that claims to be able to get you hundreds of incoming links for just $299!

In fact I am not alone, according to Yahoo’s Buzz Index, ‘urban dictionary’ was the #1 search query for February 4th, followed by IRS and Sandra Bullock. I am glad to see that Sandra is back on top…she kind of disappeared under her husbands tattoo’s for a few years there, but what about the Olympics people. Olympics phrases did not appear in the top 20. We still have about 10 days to go so hopefully things will turn around.
So anyways back to Urban Dictionary and why I think it’s way cooler than Webster’s dictionary. I did some Urbaning (to look up your own name in Urban Dictionary, either for definition or myspace/facebook usage) on www.urbandictionary.com and learnt the most fascinating thing about myself.
