Question

I mean, will i be banned from google or yahoo for using a SEO technique which Google doesn't like?

Answer 1

Your site should be not penalized for incoming link(s). You can get penalized for linking to a bad neighbor. If your site could get penalized for bad links pointing to your site, then your competition could easily penalize your site by setting up a few incoming links to your site.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:
