Can someone help a newbie please?
I am still "wet behind the ears" and am having problems understanding backlinking and how to maximize traffic. Can someone spell it out for me? Also, how do I get more traffic from search engines? If anyone has any tricks of the trade or good quality social sites that I could use...I would dearly appreciate it!!
