I work with
Bay Area Web Design and we're involved in
SEO search engine optimization . While we are pretty successful at getting clients on first page search results for "keywords" in Yahoo and MSN (bing) and others.... but Google always seems a problem. All we can come up with is that Google places ALOT of emphasis on it's PageRank system and Backlinks.
Any idea how many backlinks it takes to really make a difference in Google Page Ranking system? Are there any "safe" reliable" companies to contract and have them build textual backlinks for you that won't get you penalized by google?
