I've been submitting to directories. I just got indexed recently so I'm going to work on rank next.

John, I read your "Link Building Ideas", Are you really that motivated to do all of that or some of it.
I'm writing some blogs on javascripting,
(although that has nothing to do with Vacation Rentals, or My Haida Hats)
and Free Manual Link Submission.
Free targeted Classified Ads ...

Nice summary.

I'm suspecting whether PageRank is still affected by backlinks. I submitted to thousands of directories, and got around 162 backlinks from google, almost 3000 backlinks from yahoo, but the pagerank for my domain is still as before, while the inner pages without backlinks got a boost from PR0 to PR4.

View my website of the first link in my signature, you can find the problem.

Me too. And my internal page doesn't have much of a backlink.
But it does contain quite a lot of content and is updated very often.

I linked my site from my sig, that only sends a couple interested people, but still better than 0.

My best 3 methods are submitting to directories, submitting articles to Goarticles, Ezinearticles, etc., and bookmarking my pages on social bookmarking sites. They're all kind of time-consuming, but there are a few tools out there that can speed up the process.

Also blogging help a lot.

It is not a mirracle but, hard work. It is called "Link Building" which includes.
* Directory submissions
* Article submissons
* Link exchanges
* Blogging
* Forum posting etc.

Find a high PR related to your site and ask for a link exchange. The higher the PR the better, but you should choose the right site. It must have a good reputation, coz it will affect your site also as an affiliate.

also, see to it that the site that has a high PR and a good reputation is related to your site.

i have to agree with this. link building is really a great help

[Johan007]

Mutual exchanging of links provided the content you are linking to is related and useful for your users (even if they do no or can not link back) is the most effective.

Directory submission IMO is a joke and directories are only decent to kick start indexing of a new site because very little PR is transferred to any serious ranking.

Sure you can buy links too, if you have the money but again should only be for new sites or those with lots of money. I don't bother with links I buy advertising (same thing to some people, but there is a line).
