You're welcome. I'm honestly not very knowledgeable with this matter since I spend most of my time just putting up websites, submitting articles, publishing videos, & stuff like that. I'll go ahead & give a message Richard gave me about back-links & creating traffic to your blog that he told me when I started out:
---

Hi,

Social bookmarking is a very powerful method of getting your sites indexed and supplying quailty links. However, you need to be careful that you are not overdoing it on the bookmarks otherwise you could end up in the sandbox. Especially with digg.com.

Video marketing is very powerful method of driving traffic but I have to admit I have never heard of GFX video writer, and I have seen people talk of audio articles but I have never seen one, especially on the first page of google.
One thing to remember is that audio cannot contain clickable links and therefore you will not get the backlink 'juice' from your work.

A method that has worked for me for ages and continues to work is this:-

Create social networking sites such as squidoo, hubpages, blogger, wikispaces etc all with good articles and pointing at your site.
Bookmark these social networks with as many social bookmarks as you can. Normally each account should link to perhaps 2 of the social networks.

Take the RSS feeds from the Social networks and bookmarks and then submit them to as many RSS aggregators as you can.

Then create accounts in as many article directories as possible (not just street articles) and submit artices with keyword optimised anchor texts pointing back to the social networks.
Also do articles pointing directly to your site.

By doing this you are creating a powerful link wheel.

There are software packages available that make this work 100 times quicker but you need to be able to use them effectively to make them cover there costs.

It's safe to say whatever those software packages are, that's what he uses for his business. ;) Good luck.

Directories can mean about anything so you did have me confused. If you're wanting to take that route, I suggest my friend Richard. You can pay for that & get your link out to a lot of places by a SEO expert. easynuke.com. Besides doing something like that, you're probably looking to waste your time. That's my honest opinion.

Thanks but I'm not looking for a paid solution. I manage my own backlinking profiles mainly for learning purposes... that way I don't have to pay out as much. I just need a few directories that I can post too. There are a ton out there and I have no clue which ones are really ok to use use and which arent.

Yeah. I think it's all about targeting people in various directories & creating a bigger presence online, no matter what directory you're using. I know Street Articles & Ezine Articles are probably the 2 most choice. Then Goarticles and articlesbase probably 2nd choice to those two. Haven't heard of soop and ezinemark. I should check them out. Good luck. ;)
