Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I wish to add my two-penneth in here... Link building has changed hugely over the last few years and to the point, I am actually going to be dropping this as an offering within my consultancy services. Link building should really now be tied in to a bigger service / article marketing production plan. Of course, there are some sites / areas where you might still be able to go out and build natural links, but these are going to decrease over time. Google now wants to see a fantastic site with outstanding content. The happier your visitors, the happier Google will be. Content, content, content - focus heavily on creating something not seen on your competitors sites and market that through as many channels as you can. -Andy

**Is there any SEO Benefit to submitting the Site Map to all three **variations? None at all. You have just one live site (as you should have) then just build your sitemap based on that. -Andy

Should I proceed with back linking and adding new content yet (one blog a week and a new review) or hold off for a couple more weeks? Content - Content - Content... I have a client who is in the eCig market at the moment and I can tell you that Google doesn't like traditional backlinks for these kinds of sites. This comes from having worked with others in the past too. You need to be getting inventive and getting some up to date content on there. Setup some alerts from Google based around eCig new, and when it comes through, hop on to your blog and get started with your own version of the news. Give insights - be controversial - write how-to guides and try and create an air that says "amazing content, oh, and they sell a product", not the other way around. You will be chasing your tail. Also, don't stop at 500 words - you need to be putting some real time into creating content that will make others (and Google) sit up and take notice. Then share the sh*t out of it in as many ways as you possibly can. I don't mean spam though - create a few well-thought-out call to actions and use these as a hook. I hope this helps. -Andy
