Filling the links list at first.

[Voltar]

yea, i agree...just ask and you'll find people (i'm one of them) who don't mind dropping you a list of free sites and clean entrances to list...i commonly do it for people starting new link type sites...and i do it expecting little traffic to begin with...but over time it builds...and you have a relationship with that webmaster...
and also sponsors sites and such too can be used to fill in...

but link type sites are hard every day work...getting traffic takes alot of time and work..i highly suggest you really try not to make money off the place for a long time yourself...and resign to it being a long term project that you are building and keeping clean for future benifits...doing it that way can help you grow faster...the spammer it is the slower you grow...

i hate going to link lists i've used over the years and seeing some of them(not GGs) have like 300k banners at the top of thier pages and having several banners there with the ultra heavy ones...after all more than half the surfers are still on dial up..they never get a chance to even see shit that huge(so don't fall into that trap)...--rant over

I just looked at my Google Analytics for my Link Lists, cause I was curious about that statement. These are the percentage of my visitors in the last month on dialup.

Hot Porn For Women 1.6%
The Red Cherry 3.13%
XXX Porn Tastic 3.04%
Got Porn Sites 1.86%

Maybe my sites are unusual, but I think the percentage of people on dialup is a lot lower any more. Given that, I still don't really have huge banners that are 300k either on my index page, but I do build free sites that are more graphic heavy than I did when I started 10 years ago, when you kept your loads on your pages under 100k.

Everyone is right Stinky, it takes time. And don't try and cheat, Voltar is right about spammers. I've done stuff years ago that got me on the outs with Google for awhile, I've finally got Page rank back on the the sites that were effected. If you try and do the quick and easy build up, it will turn around and bite you.
