Take note of these very important backlink facts!

...
One of these sites in particular is making me a really nice income and obviously has the potential to generate even better results, if only I could get to that elusive No.1 spot!!
...
Getting the #1 spot isn't a guarantee that you'll get more traffic. As long as your above the fold on the first page, then you have a chance to grab the searchers attention. If your within the top 5 results you should be concentrating on your title and description to make your site stand out above the rest.

If a searcher sees the 3rd or 4th result looks much more relevant to what they're looking for then they're much more likely to click on your link rather than the #1 or #2 spot.
 
I'm so glad that you posted this Mikie46! Many don't realize that Scrapebox and Xrumer aren't really necessary for SEO. I've done all of my backlinking by hand...and get ranked #1 every time! Have already beat some HUGE authority sites with my methods. Some of the keywords have fairly high competition, too.
 
FACT:

It isn't always the person with the most links who ends up first in the
search engine rankings. More and more often it is the person with the
right quality /relevant links for their niche that ends up in the better
position.

FACT:
Here is an exercise: Do a search on your main keywords that you are
targeting. See who ranks in the top ten of the search engine
rankings. Take the time to check out your competitor?s backlinks. It may be
that the person who ranks number 1 has less backlinks than the person in
place number 2,3,4 or even 10. If you really analyze each site's backlinks,
you may start to see that the site that has less backlinks is ranked higher
because of the quality and relevance of those backlinks.


Amen

Guys, as we should all know by now: Google isn't stupid. In fact, the
company is becoming smarter and smarter every day. You're playing a cat
and mouse game if you're building your business by trying to outsmart
Google. Do what their terms of service says and think quality not quantity.
Don't take short cuts and do think of your long-term business plan.

All these automated backlink tools are simply garbage. In the end they will hurt
and bring down your sites when you least expect it. Why not build your business
instead of trying to outsmart Google. They will catch up with you sooner or later.
Guaranteed!

I really like this article. This comes at a time when I'm trying to get more backlinks for my current website aswell as create backlinks for my new website. To be really honest when I created my first website it was pretty easy to get the traffic I needed. I did almost nothing to get my traffic how-ever with my new website I'm struggling to get off the ground.

I don't think much has changed since 2008 but obviously I'm not doing things correct. Can anyone recommend a good SEO book to read? All the books I currently own are out of date and don't really help me all that much.

Looking forward to a reply.
Regards,
Dave
 
Sure but if your doing xrumer your not doing it directly to your money site you just use another site for link juice, so of course quality matters.
