My site USStrings.com is over a year old. I have requested (received?) over 100 backlinks. I have put out 2 articles. I use AdSense. And, I've had over 20,00 'hits' (unique visits?) to my site.

I am going nowhere fast. I thought I had a plan - but, I don't. I am thinking about using a service like this one link-exchangers.com.

What do you think? And how do I bid?

Also --- I've been contacted by an on-line gaming site to link to his 'glossary' page which is a PR6. We've agreed to exchange links. Will this 'hurt' me in any SEO way since it is not related to musical instruments, as is my site?

Much thanks,
