Backlink Building Places

Where can I go to get follow backlinks to my site to improve my DA and PA, etc?
-
I am in the real estate business, and I am trying to get three key phrases to rank well for azbestlistings.com homes for sale in casa grande az, homes for sale in mesa az, and homes for sale in yuma az.
These three key phrases are cities that I and two other realtors work separately. We all have our own city on the team. Hence, I want to get myself into the first 5. However, I am coming nowhere near page 1 for these key phrases, so I figured from what everybody tells me I need back links.
I work all day long as a realtor, so my brain is not super focused by the time I sit down to do my seo work. Basically working two long jobs, so if somebody says go back linking I say ok, but just where do I do it in the quickest and smartest way since I do not have a ton of time to do it.
Each agent is responsible for working their city or city pages.

Why are you trying to increase your DA & PA? DA & PA are just metrics created by SEOMoz to help you get a rough idea of what a page/site's authority is. Raising these numbers should never be an end goal in and of themselves.
Getting good follow links all depends on your niche. Are there any blogs in your niche or related niches which you can guest post for? Any niche specific portals or directories? Do you have any friends or business partners that might link to you?
If you're looking for link building strategies in general, check this article out, it's VERY comprehensive:
-
My first major comment will be to choose wisely, shop around and make sure any SEO company you take on explains how they go about the link building strategy. Source someone local, or at least in your own country who understands you, your needs and your business environment.
Secondly, you should consider what you are already doing - or think about what you should do. i.e.
- Are you becoming part of communities online?
- Are you contributing to blogs or writing some great content that relates to your website
- What are you doing to engage people on social media
- Do you know what your competitors are doing - so you can learn the good stuff and avoid the junk?
Your question sounds simple, but you need to balance knowing what you can (and maybe should) be doing yourself, while taking on a business you can work closely with who will help you on this front.

.edu backlinks.. where to point them for a scholarship
Hello, My company offers an annual college scholarship to Women in Business. I have numerous colleges that have agreed to post our scholarship on their college websites. I want to make sure I get the full value of the .edu backlink and need some advice. I have a brand new scholarship page with no authority and that's basically orphaned from the rest of the website. This page details the application process for the scholarship. If I were to link out to my home page, and say 3-4 other top landing pages, would this be the best way to flow some of that link juice into my site? Or is there a better way to do this? Another thought I had was this.... I could take one of my top landing pages, www.example.com/example, and place the scholarship information on that page at the bottom, and have the school link to this: www.example.com/example#scholarship (so the scholarship info appears on top when applicants click it)-- My question here is this... becase the second URL includes an anchor, does google treat that as a different page? Or would the pagerank flow to www.example.com/example ? Recovering from unnatural link warnings and algorthmic penalties and trying to get the best benefit out of the new, quality links I'm building. Any advise would be appreciated! THANKS!

Backlink?
This is probably going to sound like the silliest question ever, but I have to ask. Does an article that requires a subscription to read count as a backlink? Is there any difference in that type of backlink as opposed to one that doesn't require a subscription? Thanks.

Most significant link building factor
Am I right in thinking the most important link building factor is the number of unique linking root domains? Multiple links from a domain won't help me so much?

Backlinking post penguin
Does anyone have any effective strategies about how to backlink for a new website. I'm just really cautious of this new penguin update and don't want to submit to too many directories or do anything that will get penalised, seen as the website is new.

Good link building companies
I'm wondering if anyone has had good experiences with any of the link building companies out there. I'm really looking to hear about those companies who go beyond the mundane forum links, blog commenting, bulk directory submission, article directories etc. It's all been done to death. I've used webuildpages.com, they are pricey, but are good at getting high quailty links.
