Wow type "Debbie Holmes" today in Google and I'm first nation wide

That's great! You've obviously been doing this for a while. But for those of us who might need to get up to speed faster, here's a tip: go to www.qalias.com and sign up for $10 a month. Try it - go to Google and  type in my name: gwen croft. I'm number one too! Click on Qalias to find out all about me.

 
Yes, I agree organic is better, but until you can build up links and cross links, this is a way to increase that traffic and get your name at the top. I also used "My Bulletin" to list some of my own links - articles, blogs, etc. After I've built  my way up to the top organically (I'm already seeing results and this is my second month), I can cancel the subscription. It's a much less expensive way to build links and clicks than Google Ad Words.
