Hello everyone, first post here. I finally got my site up and running after a few days work. It's a pretty simple screensaver site with downloadable exe's of packs. I just placed ads on it with adsense, pinball network and hostgator. Now that I can be making some money with it as long as I get traffic, I'm trying to find the best way to seo. I've been through the seo section of the services for sale forum but there seems to be so many options and people to work with that I don't know what's best for me. Should I start with something cheap like social bookmarking? Once I start generating some traffic I'll be able to invest more heavily with more seo. Thanks for any tips with this guys.
 


If money is an issue then instead of buying link building services I would start doing it myself at first. You should anyway just so you know what needs to be done. Makes it easier to judge the work you pay someone else for.

To really do it on the cheap do some social bookmarking, put up a some web 2.0 blogs with links to your site. Get the free version of roboform and create some manual profile links. When you get ready to spend some money buy scrapebox. Once you have some money coming in you can either purchase some more tools or think about starting to purchase some services.
 
It doesn't work that way. Invest some cash or you're never going to see anything. If you'll only spend money when you start "seeing results" then all your competitors are going to fly past you. If you didn't have a decent amount of dough to start out with, you should have pulled an extra shift at McDonalds to make sure you did. You do whatever it takes. You definitely need money to get anywhere with this. Even if you made 100 profiles/day, you'd only have about 36k backlinks after a year. And not all of those would stick or be indexed by search engines. Unless you want to slave away for years on this just to have 1/10 of what people who are willing to throw money at a site have after 1 week, I suggest you save up some cash and start blasting.
 
Dont want to burst your bubble but, screensavers was not an ideal choice to start out in. It's a historic niche.

Ok I'll reword what I was trying to say. I do have money to invest, I just didn't want to be pouring it into a method of seo or for tools that weren't ideal for me. I really want to start off on the right foot here so I asked you guys. And I'm sorry sapphire that you assumed I would be someone who worked at mcdonalds :ugone2far:. Thanks for the encouragement, though.

Arv, thanks. If you think doing the social bookmarking is worth doing myself, I'll try that. If its a pain I don't have a problem spending some money it. As long as social bookmarking is effective, I'm willing to pay.

Well as of now, I'm enjoying my time here on wf and I'll always have time in the future to start new projects. A screensaver site looked pretty easy compared to the other things on here. At least I'm learning and I got started with something.

Thanks more advice!
