My website has no links inbound so it doesnt indicate popularity. I'd like to get listed on google, so with this in mind, should i get listed elsewhere first to boost my link credentials? Where should I go..Yahoo?

thanks

Yahoo can be a good idea, but it depends on the category you will be listed in. Some simply aren't worth the $300/yr rate for the listing.

There are hundreds upon hundreds of small and medium sized directories you can submit to. Look also at those. Then find other topically related sites that might be willing to link to you. Some may require a reciprocal link, others may not. Some topically related sites may allow you to sponsor them so you can get a one-way text link from them and this can also be very beneficial.

Check out the Link Development forum for LOTS of good ideas.

thanks for that information and some of it very useful! I want a free listing with Google and some page rank, but without any inbound links I was asking if i should consider some paid listings first to boost my cred with the Google bot?
