      I know most of you will be rolling your eyes but please help.

      I realize how important backlinks are for page rank with Goggle. Also know it's important to get these links indexed. I've signed up with about 20 high rank sites (DMOZ,GoGuides, Gimpsey, SearchSight, etc.) to aquire high pr backlinks. If I want to submit my backlinks to an indexing service, is the url for my backlink their website, example www.searchsight.com, or the page url where I'm
      listed<http://searchsight.com/search.htm?search=www.acabinbythepond.com>on ?

      Also, same question for forums: I've registered for several high pr forums and competed the registration with a BBCode signature. What is the url for that backlink if I submitted it to a indexing service? Thanks in advance.

        Don't do directory submissions if that's what you are talking about, especially if your site is new. Link building is important, but don't get fooled into thinking the more links from link directories is going to get your site ranking. A lot of them are straight out spammy sites anyway. Instead do some manual directory submissions using this: http://www.seomoz.org/directories  I would recommend to build one real link and one directory submission at a time.

        Focus on writing KICK ASS content and people will link to you. I have Universities link to me and I have nothing to do with education. But these Universities link because they find the information useful for there students.

        I suggest reading the Beginners Guide: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

        PS, I, along with everyone in this forum, have been waiting 2 years for DMOZ to index our sites. Submit and move on.
