yes its an interesting post i’ve got here.let me check my backlink to make experiment.thank you
Got a little bit more then 2.100 backlinks.
While this sounds quite impressive, it can be “melt” down to about 200 links dofollow links with different domain-names and c-class domain-servers. So 200 “real” links. A few PR5 among them.
I guess its okay for about 8 month of working on it.
Thank you! I’ve spent hours trying to get noticed by leaving comments, only to now realize that I have been commenting in the wrong places! Thanks for the heads up! You are saving me a ton of time/effort!
