Did you know that you can get do-follow backlinks from Hive? Hive's got an 26,133 at the moment so a bunch of backlinks from a highly ranked site might be just the boost your site needs.

The threshold

Links start out as no-follow but once you cross a threshold they become do-follow.

I haven't been able to confirm what that threshold is but it seems to be in the 10 - 20 Hive region.

Value

Hive aso has the added advantage of being linked to so many different front-ends. If you're able to rank multiple at the same time, that will be a major boost for your site's rankings on the big G.
