Links - In need of ideas
-
Hi there!
I have tried my best to get quality back links to my http://www.petmedicalcenter.com site but I feel like I have hit a wall. I have searched my competition to see what links they are getting and have been successful with some. Some websites just don't respond. Are there any valuable resources I am missing? Or ideas?
My biggest concern is ranking well for the search term "vet las vegas" and "las vegas veterinarians". So far I have managed to get to the second page on Google.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Ryan for your help! A lot of good ideas that I will definitely be implementing.

I typed out a detailed reply, pressed the "Post Response" button and somehow the forum lost my post. I'll briefly share the key points:
-
"Vet Las Vegas" seems like a perfect keyword for you. I would not suggest targeting "Las Vegas veterinarians". No one will type that phrase into google when performing a search. Google will relate other phrases to that phrase of course, but why take the indirect route when you can directly target more relevant key phrases. I would try even minor tweaks like "vets Las Vegas", "Las Vegas vet", or even "pet dr Las Vegas" before I thought of "Las Vegas veterinarians".

Your site title has the keyword "Vet Las Vegas". The keyword is not used on your home page even once. You use "Pet Medical Center of Las Vegas" six times. You rank #1 for the term. It appears you have plenty of opportunities to work in better phrases.
How about change ""Keep In Touch: Be the first to learn about news, tips, and special offers from Pet Medical Center of Las Vegas." Possibly change "Keep In Touch" to "Are you looking for a Las Vegas Vet?".
Also "Providing Excellence In Veterinary Care For Dogs and Cats Since 1993." could be changed to "Providing Excellence in Las Vegas Vet care for Dogs and Cats since 1993".
You asked about links. You only have 4 links from 2 domains. The world is open to you. Local directories, hotels that allow pets, police departments, pet groomers, etc. Anyone and everyone who both has a web site and may direct people to your office should be a target.
A sign in your lobby or exam rooms would be great. When I take my cat to the vet, I wind up reading the labels on specialized pet food because there is nothing else to do. How about asking your satisfied customers for a link? A simple sign asking others to link to your site can help.

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -

Link building during link removal
We were advised by out outsourced link removal vendor not to build any links while they are removing links pointing to our site. I am worried that our site will lose significant traffic if we dont build any new links while waiting for them to remove links that caused our site to be penalized. What are your thoughts?

I'm hiring a link building company - need help choosing
I asked this question before and got mixed feedback. Companies vs. Freelancers. Well I have a couple questions here. At a certain point it is definitely worth going in house, but what about the knowledge that we could gain from working with a big agency? Does that really add any value? Can I hire a freelancer and trust him as much as a big agency? or vice versa? Can I hire an agency and trust them as much as a freelancer? I have also been advised to make sure they offer competitive / site analysis as a first step, AND inform you of exactly how many links they plan to build per month, how much time they will dedicate to you and your account, expect turn around times, and light strategy details that they would likely use. Thanks for any help! TA

Outbound links
Hi there, i know inbound links are what hold the main value in terms of link building but if i have an inbound link from a big company such as ITV or BBC and they have put an article on their site linking back to mine, would it be beneficial if i made a comment on my site and then link back to their article or will this not really help? Sorry as you can tell im very new to seo! thanks anthony
