Thanks for the warm welcome and introduction. My intro has just been posted, and I will continue to bring any pertinent links your way.

I really enjoy using Threadwatch. It's an excellent tool to browse the growing amount of SE forums available.

"IHelpYou (Doug Heil) feels that link building may have damaged Internet content as a whole. This much is indicated by his statement, which says, “This link exchange stuff has actually ruined the internet. This is why you are now seeing a "De-emphasis" on links coming in from Google, and from Yahoo, and you will see that the new MSN will not be putting much stock on linking as well."
