Hi Mike,

This is a tough one, becuase <obviously> I'll recommend them all.

Honestly, this forum will progress in the order I think is best...Fatty this month, BlogBomb the next, webmaster Tuelz the following month.

Again, Fatty is the most powerful and the most difficult to master due to how many ways it can be used.

Actually, this is a common noob concern. The main "problem" is, Fatty is designed so that there is NOT a "paint by numbers" way of using it. I outlined many of the ways it can be used in another thread.

If it was 1, 2, 3, then everyone would be doing the same thing...

So, if I had a site that was already getting a lot of traffic, I'd create a niche search engine to compliment the site.

If I didn't have any traffic, I'd work on making pages and getting them into the engines.

I've shown how to make pages...I'd concetrate on using HTTrack and Fatty, then use my existing host as well as exploit free hosting and work on getting as many pages on as many domains as possible.

IMO, SEO in its most basic form is simply putting as many words on as many pages, then linking to those pages.

Again, as I pointed out on another thread, put your spammy pages on the free hosts, less spammy pages on sub domains, and high quality pages on your main domains.

Link one way, NOT BOTH!!!
free hosts => sub domains => main domains

Cross link free domains and some sub domains.
