Hi guys, my first post here.

I setup a simple telephone directory site few days ago. Started blasting it for days with Scrapebox and No Hand SEO. Some how the guy with much less amount of backlinks are still at #1.

So I decide to strip all Amazon stuff and put in Adsense just to see. Took the url from my competitor and posted a couple of ask yahoo etc. So I should be in par with him.

Let's check back in couple of days to see if it make any difference.

BTW do you think Amazon is causing my site to rank low ?

    Amazon links have nothing to do with your SERP position.

    Just looking at the number of backlinks is the wrong way to go about it, it is better to have fewer high pr authority links than thousands of low quality pr0 links.

    If you want i can run your website and your competitors website through my backlink checker to give you an idea.

        I don't know who they are, but they don't know what they're talking about.

        Seriously, an Amazon link has nothing to do with the SERP position of affiliate pages.

        This is what i have come up with, this is not showing no follow, deleted, mentioned and alt text links.

        Report Name: ebayphonenumber org
        SubDomains: 2
        External Backlinks: 11
        External Domains: 2
        External Unique IPs: 1

        Report Name: ebayphonenumber net
        SubDomains: 2
        External Backlinks: 47
        External Domains: 24
        External Unique IPs: 23

        Obviously 3rd party link checkers are always abit behind google, so may be missing some recent or low quality backlinks on both.

    ok I know my site is still not in par yet but close. However if you search 'ebay phone number' in google. You will see my competitor is at 4th (used to be 1st) and another guy azcustomerservices co uk threads ebay-customer-service-number-uk.1 is at 8th but the 8th guy got way more back link etc.

    Basically what I am asking is, if I have 48 external backlinks. Will I beat him (after all I am pretty sure I have way more than 47, just that the tool might not be showing yet. Afterall I been blasting for days.

      That's not how backlinks work, more is not necessarily better.

      More quality links is better, but just having any old link isn't useful, random crappy links are just fluff.

      You mentioned blasting links so I assume your just counting links & nothing else, which will make your SERP position dance more than help it actually rank.

    EBay phone number

    That sounds like a real money maker.

    I would set the over/under on bounce rate for that one at 96%.

    By the way, to the OP, almost all of your links are nofollow. It also looks like you are just blasting blog comments and trackbacks. That won't get you very far.

    Mike thanks for the comment. I need to read up about 'follow links' and how to implement it. So scrapebox by default will put thinks as no follow which is useless. Then why they put that function there in the first place ? I think I have a couple of follow backlink. Maybe that is done by NO HAND SEO which kind of do everything.

    So how about I just do a few high PR site manually e.g. yahoo answer and do all this ? Is this the most quality wise method ?

        create some good quality links and try to maintain the anchor text diversity.
