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 -
How to link build?
Hello all. I've been having intense conversations with an experienced SEO, who has told me that the only way to get consistent links to your website, and to build you business through the web is through blogger outreach, and then paying the bloggers to put your appropriate content on their high Page Ranking website. To me, this may well be right. But it sounds dull as anything. Any thoughts? William

Link Relevance vs Link Authority ?
Hi guys, I have a quick question regarding some low quality links my site is getting. From the information in Open Site Explorer, the website Im talking about has a page authority of 16 while the domain authority is 11\. These are very low quality scores in my oppinion and Im thinking of removing them with Google Disavow Tool. The thing is that, although the domain is low quality, the links have relevance as they're in the same business sector as us. More exactly, the name of the domain is taxisavona and the company I work for is also a taxi company. So, now I`m thinking, should I disavow the link because of it's low scores or should I leave it because it is relevant to our business ? Thank you in advance! Best regards, Tiberiu Iavorenciuc

What is a good ratio of total links to linking root domains?
Is 100 total links for every linking domain too high? I suppose I could also look at ratios of sites that are doing well in the rankings.

Removal of Bad Links
Before I started doing SEO for the company I am currently working in, they had an Indian company doing loads of spammy SEO work for their site. My question is as follows; should i try to remove the links that were inserted there. I am doing link building now in a natural way, which obviously takes days to get a link - not minutes. I'm worried that the link profile is full of years of spammy links and I can't dilute it as fast as I would like. Here are a few links to different sites that the company created links on: http://youdoze.com/ http://www.video-bookmark.com/ http://mylinkvault.com/ http://www.puplinks.com/ http://huzoo.com/ How do I go about this?

Link Detox and Link Removal
I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own. But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png
