LOL... I have missed a lot of fun here

... You are both wrong and right at the same time... And I am right

It all depends on the niche and how many opponents you have to deal with. I have already given my example with my stupid PC Repairs website... But I have also different websites that required different ways to deal with them winning positions and traffic by natural. Now, since my PC website has NO valuable information how is it on first place ?! Links with citation, classified ads with links, classified ads with text links, business spot, links from my Forum Signature on various forums ( i think 10 forums )... and that's it.... nothing more... The same was with my previous website which was based on a few major cities when I had few offices etc... Now the last example is my classified ads website... It has maybe not more than 200 links, most are from useless web dirs and few from business dirs, a small amount from forum signatures, allot of information on the website.... and here we have now good traffic on the website...
