AtLien,
I don\'t mean to be rude, but it is almost impossible for me to believe that anybody who has been on this forum long enough to post over 975 messages could possibly ask that question.
This Forum is the home of the \"power of linking\". This forum is the home of \"content doesn\'t do a damn thing for your rankings\".
Now that isn\'t 100% true for sites that very few people search for. But if you want to be found or indexed for commonly searched upon keywords, then backlinks are the only way to go.
