This would be online classified as this thread is all about building links to your website. I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's advertising your products/services/websites in classifieds to attract more attention as well as link juice.

i tried with facebook, google and etarget ads.facebook is very powerfull for local business.google have normal average, and etarget is cheap but with small number of clicks.

one thing from list missing is...for me the most important:analyze the competition(top 5 for keyword which u want to rank)

Very nice list, Rubylene

It's nice to see all the different bases to hit listed out like that. Sometimes I feel like I don't see the free, easy methods of boosting my sites - I tend to be my own worst enemy in that regard.

If you have the willpower, you won't have to shed a dime on SEO. It's all about taking advantage and researching the free knowledge about SEO that's all over the Intrawebs.

The key ingredient to all of these is providing value to the end user. Increased value = improved optimization. Sharing knowledge has immeasureable value.

This is very true indeed. This right here explains why top executives don't hesitate to share priceless advice to the public who is interested in taking advantage of the opportunity to learn from someone who has been in the same shoes that they are currently in.

The online classifieds, what would they include? I assume of course that the classifieds of online newspapers would be in there, but what about Craigs list and such things? Have you ever made listings there, can that have a use?

We routintely advertise on Craigslist, so the short answer is YES, online classifieds have a use.
