		<description>@Pete, Google knows that the main purpose of your site is a business directory, so you would not be penalised for having a link farm.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the advice, Clint. 
We have a business directory with lots of links to other business sites. Do you think these would have a negative impact on ranking?

		<description>Bottom line is getting good back links means hard hard work and avoiding black hat techniques.  Good post.  Will I get a backlink though LOL.....

The forum / blog option works but they can end up being low quality but I find that if you read and contribute to a forum you are interested in you end up getting a reputation ad real backlinks anyway by virtue of the quality of your contributions!

Thanks for the feedback. The more worthwhile your content, the more the reader will come back, so it just makes so much sense in order to grow a profitable and lasting business.</description>

		<description>Clint,

Truly wise advice. &quot;The day’s of the quick buck on the internet are pretty much gone&quot;

Google and to some extent the other search engines are getting smarter and soon everything but actually having something worthwhile to say will be black hat.

Don&#039;t think you will have any problems there tho!

Thanks &lt;a href=&quot;http://nickquinlan.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nick&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Just a quick &quot;atta boy&quot;. Your article not only clearly shares methods of obtaining backlinks, but I really liked the mention of warning us as to not spam the method for the possibility of being penilized.</description>
