Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I pulled out some metrics on a few http://www.garethjames.net/authority-directory-list/

Just one bad link would not harm you, but it IS possible to damage a site with bad links.

Everything in moderation I say. I would only get a few of the top ones. I created a list and looked at the domain authorities if you are interested:

I've seen a test somewhere that shows Google can actually read through shortened urls.

Agreed Godaddy is terrible. I use Bluehost and find them OK, but I do get a better service with Just Host ( bit.ly/iw8cpo)

United Hosting is also very good.

You can also create a more advanced feed in Yahoo Pipes then feed this into the about url.

You could also use Xenu to pull out all your page titles into a spreadsheet, then digg out all the main keywords for each page.  You could then scrape Google Suggest for each keyword to create a much larger list of terms, then chuck all these into some rank tracking software.

Sounds like your links are just not strong enough. Press release links decay quickly as the release gets pushed down, forum sig links are virtually spam and BOTW links get diluted due to all the others on the page.

Go the extra mile. Make a list of link targets, then create a strategy to get a link from those sites.  Think out of the box!

I'm seeing 10 external links to the domain.  Just keep building links and chill!

Can you get away with providing totally different content to US visitors and UK visitors from the same url.
