I think some of you almighty SEO's

I'm not an SEO and I don't play one on TV either.

I'm a programmer and just do logical things, basic stuff [webmasterworld.com].

Although I do have one 800lb Gorilla site which I could use to boost other sites I refrain from doing it, it's just not worth it when it's so easy to build and promote a new site to the top.

Pushing things to the top on many terms is a simple fact of good titles, good anchor text, good IBLs and well crafted content that get people to link to it.

It's not rocket science, never was.

If you can't write compelling content or provide a service that gains the attention of people reading it, they won't link it and it probably won't convert either, and you can forget ranking at that point unless you pay someone to make it happen.

You can easily kick start your efforts with Feed Burner, Twitter, etc.

As a matter of fact, Google loves content submitted via Feed Burner and you don't have to have a blog just to have an RSS feed of new content.

Think out of the box for site promotion and you'll be too busy to waste time and money on link checking.
