I'm still new in SEO.I made my first website 5 months ago,and now I try to optimize it.I spend many hours in link building and SEO,and I have like 300-400 links in Google,150 in Yahoo and 250 in MSN.Few days ago I bought 600 links more.They are from good sites(not link farm),i check all of them personally.I also bought 2 links from pr4 pages.Is that enough to beat the competition in 1-2 million results?(I check my competitors-they don't have more links then my site,but they are older sites.)My second question is about my other pages(6-7 pages more)I don'n have inbound links point to them.Are links point to www.domain.com enough to rank well those pages?I think that all of them are optimazed well,but they are pretty new.And finally-do you know when I'll feel the benefit of those 600 links?
thanks in advance
And whether the expense is justified only you can answer - do be sure that your site is worth their while visiting ... or all the links in the world will not help.
The best route to success, always, is having the best site. All else comes second.

Quadrille,
Where can I find a method or guide to create a "best site"?
Surely, the best site theory is just that, a theory. Or is there a method or type of sites that every new algo tweak adopts as being in the very best sites category and these sites are immune to all and any algo changes?
Hmmmm. I think that the site contents is the very last thing on the list of priorities. Don't you agree?

I think we are being baited, but in case not...
I suggest you take a look around this site and others - content is king - for google, yahoo, etc - your site's content is the #1 factor in determining your ranking.
Without good content, you are facing one of two scenarios:
1. Never ranking well in any major search engine.
2. Achieving short term success only to be bounced out a little later (this is my personal favorite - seeing their built up hopes dashed).

Stajer,
Perhaps you might like to tell us what is "good content"?
Surely, before even typing your first text in html, there are things to consider. Things known by webmasters.
Other people being interested in it will make them more inclined to:
1) visit your site more often
2) link to your site (which will bring more people to your site
3) tell their friends about your site (which will bring more people to your site)
Having more links and more visitors tells the search engines that you have good content, so they link to you and give you higher position. This brings in more visitors and more links.
Since you seem seaching for a strict definition of "good content" I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there is no magical definition, other than the guideline stated above.
However, you can look at what is NOT good content:
- content scraped/stolen/copied verbatum from other sites (a.k.a. duplicate content): if the same content exists elsewhere on the web, why should people link to or visit YOUR site for it?
- poorly written content that makes people cringe when they read it. This also includes machine translations of content.
- content that very few people are interested in. Sure, you may be the expert on Roller Disco Nazi Germany themed parties, but how many people are really interested in it?
There are some things to consider prior to writing content - site structure, url structure, navigation, domain name, etc. But, if you are buying links you are way past that. You are wasting money if your content is poor - no matter how many links you buy, you will not get long term organic success in a SE - maybe in 2002, but not today.

Stajer,
Thanks for the tip.
