Well, maybe I can help - but you have to do your bit first. I'll happily give you a link but only if you can satisfy five criteria;
Let's expand on that a little bit. You'll have to validate your HTML/XHTML to W3C standards and you can check that on the W3C validator (you might find it a bit quicker trying the WDG HTML Validator as you can quickly and easily do your whole site there). I'll exclude things like javascripts (which should be externalised anyway in most cases) and third-party scripting in general because I know you'll have very little if any control over them. Running a link checker over your site is something you should be doing anyway and if you really need a freebie then try Xenu. Now, redirects. You got your web hosting from some freebie hoster and your domain name from www.el.cheapo.com. You go into the control panel and tweak things so that www.yourdomain.com points at your site over at el.cheapo. Only, er, guess what? It doesn't! And you can tell it doesn't by popping over to Webconfs Redirect Checker and testing it. So why don't you try that before asking me, eh? And lastly, I'll be looking to see a link to me. I don't care what it says, particularly, at this stage though I would prefer that it mentioned seo in the anchor text. Somewhere. And please, no tricky stuff munging it with javascripts or thinking you're hoarding your PR (which you won't have for some time anyway) by using the nofollow tag.
Why am I doing this? I'm suggesting this for both our sakes. I need InBound Links from a decent site or ten as it boosts my standing with the engines, and you need an inbound link from a site that's regularly spidered so you can actually get into the engines in the first place. And once you're in there, of course, you'll likely do a whole lot better in the rankings than you would have if the engines can trust your site content (because your site validates and they can understand the spelling), they can find it in the first place (because your redirect works) and because when they get there they can actually find *all* your site (because you don't have broken links). So it's a good idea for me, and it's a good idea for you! K?
