If you're links go away, yeah, it hurts you when a sites drop you. It also hurts you if you link to a site and then take that link down.

Here's the best thing I ever did to help my PageRank:

I put up free picture galleries.

I put up a site map that links from my home page.

I used Xenu link checker to check for no broken links, used Xenu to generate a links to every page on my site (Xenu does it automatically), and then I put most of those links on my site map.

Don't worry about getting on TGPs right away. They'll make you do stupid shit, like some won't allow you to put your pictures in HTML pages which kills you on title tags and ALT tags, which are important. Just put up your own galleries. After you get your galleries up, put up a few more galleries and work with the TGPs. Not to dis TGPs, they do help, a lot. Work with them. Just have your own galleries too that aren't watered down with outbound links.

People tend to get obssessed with backlinks, and they are very important, but when you first start out you can't do a goddamn thing about it, so give the search engines what they want: content, content, content. Can you draw, can you write, sing, whatever? Put it up on your site and link to it from your site map.

Also, and this is important because porn sites rarely do it, link to some big sites from your site: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, whatever. If that's not your bag, find a site on safe sex that has PR 8 or above and link to that. Links like that are good content. Put three or four PR 8 links going out of your site. Think like a search engine. Don't try to screw the search engines. Think about it: Their purpose is to provide information and to locate links to more information. Give them information, give them content. Give them a few major links and your PageRank will go up after about six months. Then you can get some good permanent links.

Never, never, never allow broken links to stay on your site for long.

If you do want to buy links, I went to DWHS dot net and bought their $600.00 package for 10 permanent links and for Home page optimization. That helped a lot because the links never go away.

In summary, Google the letters "SEO" everyday for a couple weeks and read every damn thing you can.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.
