So one way to gain exposure of your site is through backlinks which are through another site (Often larger sites) which gets their name ranked higher on Search Engines.
Do you do this and if so how do you go about doing it? If not why not? Do you feel there are any disadvantages to doing so?
That's what I like about doing posts exchanges that I'm able (also there rules) to get my URL on there sites then do my 10 posts or more and bomb backlinks are there. I have done small to very big and as I keep on going it grows.
I tend to go by there rules also. I have an list of 30 or more websites from using and SEO software and the sites are all related to gaming and whatnot and that big list are all the websites that I'm working thought to get backlinks
