your links will work much better if you use anchor text. and do buy a real web page.
you can also check to see what kind of back links you have coming your way by search google for a backlink checker.
I applaud you optimism.
as far as getting a cleaning business going with only advertising online..... I am wondering if it will work. what if I took the thousands and thousands of dollars I have been spending on phone books, and started using it in a more constructive way. the ROI on the phone book has been dropping pretty hard for me. Besides online web page promotion, what other constructive ways should I be spending my advertising money?
