Take the left on the corridor, step up the ladder, grab sledgehammer, then
break glass. But quick. After 60 seconds, the Lemmings break loose.

How old is the site and what is its size? I suppose I could just check, but
it's safer to get the answer from you.

I hope you picked sites or directories that were related to the theme of your
site. Otherwise, they are said to count for nothing.

Are you aware of the fact that purchasing of links is frowned upon? Some say
that you must get few links from high status sites rather than get that
organic mix-n-match. Today I discovered that one of my very sidal pages was
elevated to PagaRank 6 because of just 3 links. That's higher than the
PageRank of my front page, which has thousands of incoming links, many of
which are rather strong. Something must be indicating that I am directly or
indirectly responsible for setting up these links (mainly in forums and a
diversity of sidebars).

Have you got DMOZ listing/s?

Let's see what others can suggest.
