Today was all about link building. Link building, linkbuilding, linkbuildinglinkbuilding.
This morning I still had not been indexed – bummer, right – So I the first thing I did was hit up the social media sites – Submitted to digg, mixx, reddit, del.icio.us ect, ect, ect, etc – Stumbled it and sent it to all my friends. Sure enough about an hour later – I’ve been crawled for the first time – HUZZAH!
The next thing I did was reach out to my network of friends and contacts to see if anyone ran related sites and would be interested in linking to me – After all, the site provides some great information. I got a few links that way – then I went to some related dofollow blogs and made comments – the regular stuff.
After that I did what I don’t often to anymore – submitted to a bunch of free directories that I like and have helped me in the past. Sure this doesn’t do as much good – I even submitted to dmoz! (I KNOW RIGHT?!) It will be 6 years before they let me in 
- but it’s easy – and it can’t hurt.
I think tomorrow – and the coming weeks – will be more of the same and I may hold off on writing about it any further until I rank for my keywords and start seeing some REAL traffic.
Traffic since I put the site up and analytics running (by days)- 1 (that’s me!), 12 (that’s a couple of my friends and the Affiliate Managers), 34(Forum members), 89(mostly reddit/stumble people) – heh, lets hope this number keeps skyrocketing! I’m really excited to see when the first people are finding me through organic search/keywords.
