You have some great suggestions in there. Thanks a lot for providing your insight. I haven't started the site yet so it doesn't have a PR, backlink or anything. I'll take your advice into consideration on spreading the focus outside of simple SEO work. Hey, MJ. You have some great suggestions in there. Thanks a lot for providing your insight.

Quality over quantity is the foundation. Over 3700 backlinks and now you have a PR 3? Geesh...I've had projects with 2 backlinks and getting a PR 4. The PR rank are NOT dictators of SERP (search engine ranking position). True, the PR helps in some way, likey the relevancy of the page, but for positioning...no completely. I've had clients with PR's of 2 with higher rankings than sites with PR of 4, on the same popular keywords. If you're spending all your time focussed on linkbuilding...you're wasting your time. Spread your weights around and look at other SEO tactics that all contribute to the search position. PR is just one. ex. Focus on fresh, new content generation via article publishing, PR/medi alerts,blogs, offer your member community blogs to get them to generate user based content, affiliates, bookmarks, wikis, etc. Use all of these and a link strategy to compliment your seo strategy...not your sole bread and butter. And yes, inbound links are important, if anything critical, but is just one of a few weights in the search equation. And if you're going after inbound links, look at quality over quantity, and not just based on PR position....look at authority ranking sites on page 1 to 2. Ahh...and your inbound links on sites with PR 0....does you more harm than good...deduct one point in your PR calculations. A backlink strategy is not a simple case of inbound link volume.

You just don't like the the sites in general? @ Javo: hey man. Good to see you stopping by. It may be a little while before I begin the SEO work behind the site. I have to build it first. ;) It'll be coming soon though. @Jim: What’s not to like about e-commerce? You just don’t like the the sites in general?

I really am honestly not a huge fan of the eCommerce websites, but I'd love to learn to see what I could potentially do with it. Cool idea Jason.

Thanks to both of you. Great job, Mark. It sounds like you've put a lot of work into your site. Maybe I can pick your brain sometime. :) Those are both excellent suggestions! Thanks to both of you.

My site is now a PR 3 and I devote time to it every day it has 3,700 backlinks at the moment but I hope to raise this to over 6,000 by the end of the year. I also create Squidoo lenses and link my site to them which gives a quality PR5 link to it. I own an affiliate travel site and like you have been building backlinks.

And, of course, being active within those networks. One strategy that I am aware of for ecommerce sites is to submit products to shopping social networks like ThisNext and Kaboodle.
