How To Increase Back Links

Our web store, www.audiobooksonline.com has good PageRank (6) compared to some competitors for the keywords audiobook, audiobooks, audio book, audio books. One big difference is that most top ranking competitors have significantly more back links including from .gov and .edu sites.
Our domain URL has been on the Web since 1997 so naturally occurring back links likely has run its course.

Larry,
I think the question you really should be asking yourself is:
Why should anyone bother to link to me?
Once you can answer that question you'll find it a lot easier to build or "earn" links to your website.
As for Link Building tools I recommend that you use Open Site Explorer or Majestic SEO to start to learn what types of content in your niche gets linked to the most, and then create a better resource than them or approach an old concept that was covered in a piece of content from a new angle.
I could literally write for hours on link building and link building techniques but if you can answer that first question you're in a better place than 75% of people who come to me for link building advice.

I would start with a list. I have my own set of spreadsheets I maintain each month. Message me for a direct link to some places to start.
I would start with all the oldest directories with high authority for branding. Those include DMOZ, Jayde, DIRNext. Actually you should list hunt first to start your own list. There are tons of list that people have started and posted.
Also submit to local directories. I also have my own list I have manually put together and also update.
*I don't submit to more than 10 directories per month. If you do start doing this type of authority and inner directory listing, just do it slow and consistent.

What premium directories do you recommend?
-
I would focus on your content conversation with your target audience. This will produce natural content that you can have featured on other websites.
This would take some research to see what you have, keyword research to see what people are looking for information on, recycle and update older content (revisit it with updates).
I would also take this content and see if you get into a relationship with key niche groups and organizations.
Last I would focus on a light road-map that involves branding. Premium directories, like some of the oldest directories on the next and slowly hand-submit using your brand name. So come up with a keyword list and variation of your brand name and products. Avoid any exact anchor matches (maybe one or two).
You could also look for ways to reference your products to bloggers for review and maybe an inner link to your product pages. This will pass authority through your website.
To ensure this page juice is distributed properly, silo your website and ensure you have dynamic content throughout the framework of the website.

What is the best way to get more back links?
Produce some awesome content and post it on your own site. This content has to be so good that everyone everywhere will be sharing it with their friends and talking about it on their blog... it should be so good that even the Pope and Chris Christie will hear about it and comment.
That's the best way to get backlinks.

If you are using some tool other than your brain it could be a good way to get in trouble with google.

Whats with these links
I have a competitor
Link Building | | AlanMosley
that has shot up lately taking number one spot for various keywords when I look
at his links in Open Site Explorer I find many links that are links to downloadable
objects, not web pages. A few
examples, if you click on them, do not open who knows what they are. But what
the story, how are these links to his site, anyone know anything about this.

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help

Links from any country?
My site is aimed primarily at the UK, 90% of the traffic is from the UK and most of my links are from other UK based and UK targetted websites. The content is actually fairly international (apart from certain terms like Plasterboard instead of Drywall, etc). My question is: Should I concentrate on gathering links from the UK, or should I widen my search and try to get links from US and European websites? Are there any particular advantages or disadvantages to keeping links "local"?
