Exclamation Link building problem

Hi,

A few weeks ago I launched my new website: Quacko.co.uk - My Space to Complain, Grumble and Whine..
I thought that my Search Engine Optimization campaign was succesful - my website jumped from 19th to 3rd page in Google. Unfortunately, after a few weeks the number of links to my websites started to decrease. Now, I am strugling to go back to 5th page.

What I do wrong?

Every day I am trying to add my website to a few free links directories, but still I have no more that 27-29 links...

How can I significantly increase the number of links and get my site back on track?

You will be surprised, but I've never used facebook before. I mean, I have a profile there - but where exactly should I put my links?

Hi,

You can do few more link buildings like article submissions, niche directory submissions and press releases.

Be careful about directory submission services. Timing can cause you to decrease significantly on google. I have a good question for you. When you first launched your site did you submit to ALOT of sites all together? In a matter of days/weeks?

If your site is so young then expect a jump in rankings at first, then a huge dip (and probably sandboxing for a while). Work on building quality content and getting backlinks with varied anchor text.

I would suggest buying cheap blog posts from other relevant blogs (in content links are golden), using social bookmarking (avoid ones that use nofollow or redirect, you will get no link juice), and article marketing.

Article marketing for links, and blog posting and social book marking for actual traffic (which is what you really want, right?).

You probably fell because your links weren't that valuable.

Get more backlinks through various strategies, and try your best to get valuable links.

It doesn't matter if the links are relevant to your website or not. Just as long as they're links.
