I answer a LOT of questions here on SEOmoz. Don't forget that you have access to a lot of tools here like the Beginners guide to SEO http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo.
Piece of advice from me to you... if you are trying to rank higher by doing something that can be easily done (like paid links, directory submissions, article submissions, and even crappy guest blog posts, blog network for backlinks), there is a HIGH likeliness that you will unintentionally hurt your site.
Ask questions here in Q&A before doing something stupid, but 1st read the beginners guide.

Good reminder. Much like anything in life, if a SEO tactic seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Kind of funny, but I just realized I piggybacked something onto your thread, but this is a discussion after all ; )

Great reminder Francisco!
I'd also add a request to NOT piggyback a different issue to someone else's Q&A, even if you think it's tangentially related.
It's fine if you want to comment "Me too" if you're having the exact same issue, but if you spin the question off into a different direction, you're less likely to receive an answer. (If you do that, there's a good chance your question is going to be at the bottom of the thread and might not be seen if someone's already answered the question above your added question.)

No Follow Link Advice for a Newbie
Hi Moz-ers! 2 part question I would love suggestions to: I'm fairly new to the SEO world and working towards targets of 4 'follow' and 6 'no_follow' links a month, in house. 1. Apart from Wikipedia and bloggers that issue 'no_follow' links, what are good 'no_follow' slink generation ideas? 2. I've read lots about the benefit of no_follow and follow links and the ongoing debate, how does this target/KPI stack up against others out there? And is it a well structured target? I know its a big question, but I'd love some feedback. Big Thanks!
