Join more forums like this one - you'll get tons of links to your website that way through your signature. You might want to use your signature on this forum to get links to some of the other pages on your site. Right now you're only hyper linking one keyword, and you could have 3 or 4 going to different pages on your site.

Oh, I forgot to mention - make sure the forum doesn't have "no follow" tags before you invest a lot of time because those links obviously don't count.

Here is a piece of software I use to submit to directories, you can use it for both search and articles directories. I haven't done any articles directories with it yet.

It contains about 4000 search directories, and 600 or so article directories. Only about 1500 of the search directories are free directories. That's all I use.

I like the software because I can add my own directories to the database. Often when you submit to a directory, they send you an e-mail with other directories you can submit to.

I have added my main site to the entire list, and I'm working on doing the same thing with my other sites. I would guess I have obtained 400 or so backlinks from this software in the process to date. Sometimes it will take up to 120 days to get listed in some directories, others, the next day.

There are other options for submission software, but I found this to be the best of the 5 to 7 programs or so I have tried. You can submit to 50 directories in about 10 minutes once you get the hang of it.

I would submit to 30 to 50 directories a week until you have gone through the entire database, in the mean time you will probably receive e-mails with another 500 directories or so to add to that list.

I would recommend that you set up a separate e-mail address just for this purpose. You will receive a e-mail from almost every directory you submit to plus some spam that will be sure to follow.

What do you mean no follow tags?

It looks like this:
rel="nofollow"

Look at the source code of any page you want to put a back link on and use the find function to see if they put "nofollow" on their links. If they do, don't waste your time.

Yahoo! Answers uses "nofollow" by the way.
 
No follow is bad because you do not get credit for the link?

I think you get some credit. Some say that you get no credit, but I don't think that is right.

First off I think that "nofollow" is a Google thing. I don't think that the other search engines pay attention to it. This, like everything else is subject to change.

Secondly, I've seen links from Yahoo! Answers show up in my list of links on Google Webmaster Tools.

That being said, whether the link has no value or minimal value, don't spend a lot of time creating back links on a site that uses the "nofollow" attribute.
 
Dam I am confused? I have never seen Rel="nofollow" before or ever heard of it. When I post to directories I do the following http://www.

That would give me full credit because the whole URL is there correct. Let me know where I am wrong on this?
