Marla14, you posted your question in a forum called "link building" and you would rather wait for someone to answer your questions without taking the time to scroll down the threads list. How do I know you didn't take the time to search? Easy, you posted a very basic question on link building. If you had taken the time to look around you would have found dozens of posts on how to build backlinks on Web 2.0 properties, forums, blog commenting and on and on. Fresh material gets posted here daily - all on the topic of getting backlinks.
You remind me of some of my clients, they can't operate their computers if the programs they need don't have shortcuts on the desktop. Can't be bothered to take a little time to learn the very basics of how to find and start the programs that they use everyday and depend on.
If you had invested as much time doing a basic search as you did waiting for a response to your question, you would not have needed to post it in the first place.
