Hey, no hurt feelings at all. I think that the website is a worth-while endeavor, and I'm not trying to make money off of it. And I don't plan on making it my life's work either. I'm just experimenting a little bit in my spare time.
As far as the keyword, it is a keyword with little competition, so I thought it would be a good keyword to start with just to experiment a little. I'm just learning, and with the knowledge I gain from this experience, I plan to apply my time/effort to loftier, more profitable endeavors. Having said all that...
Interestingly, the website is now #1 on MSN for that keyword... with only links from a few forums so far. What I find funny is that my site is number one for the name of the dealership "north york chevrolet" and the actual dealership site is only #5!!! -
Are you that sure that forum links don't help much?
That's what confuses me the most... Some people say that links from forums don't count for much, but as I just pointed out, the website (which is brand new) is #1 on MSN. Similarily, the website is now listed on G(dot ca) on the second or third page with nothing more than a few links from forums with the same text link.
Maybe that info can be useful to some of you guys...
BTW, regarding the directories... I saw a list of directories somewhere a while back in a forum like this. I recall that different users had different preferences as to what directories are the best ones to submit to... Do you have a list of good directories that are free to submit to that you usually use?
Thanks again.
