Hey everyone. My portfolio site, im having a little bit of a problem with it.. Ive had the domain for about 3 years and about 2 years ago I bought some links and im thinking those links may of hurt my site. When I google the actual name of the domain (but with spaces between the words) I dont...

Hey everyone, I hope this is the right place to post this. I've been trying to get this elance thing going, bidding for jobs and it just seems like a total uphill battle for anyone trying to start out, I need to establish good reviews but getting the 1st job seems impossible. Are there any...

Ive been in web development for 10 years, done both the full time thing working at places and also working from home, the way I see it its pointless to have to commute anywhere to do what I do. Most of my business freelancing has been people in my area via word of mouth but that does not bring...

Can I get an invite too? I would be very grateful.

^ Great advice too, and this is true people do follow the bigger fish so if I get the big companies on the smaller ones will follow. In the name of proactivity I was also thinking to offer to do photos for them if they need. Maybe offer some extra services like that for a fee to spice the deal...

All of this is great advice! Y'all are hitting the nail right on the head here.. I plan on getting business cards and brochures and than trying to set up meetings with companies in my area to get them on the site Was even thinking of printing off stickers and slapping em on bus shelters...
