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.

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

Spammy links
Hi Guys, I have a case which seems to occur more often for our customers. The websites of our customers seem to receive tons of backlinks from websites all over the world (China, Russia, Ukrain, etc). It’s spam we never asked for, we didn’t buy any dodgy linkbuilding packages or anything. Do any of you guys have experience with this matter? We try to disavow the links but it takes too much time and we will never manage to disavow 100% of all links. Examples are www.keukensduitsland.nl and www.m2beveiliging.nl Hope anyone has experience and maybe even solutions for this matter. Thanks!

Adding NOFOLLOW to all external links, is this a good idea?
In the setting of a news site, with articles that often link to one or more outside sources, is it a good idea to rel="nofollow" all external links? Would this hurt link-building prospects? Of course, internal links would keep on passing link juice back and forth, but is there real harm in following external links? These would be links our writers and editors created themselves to reputable sources, blogs, etc.

Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?
I'm dipping my toes into infographic design. On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic. I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post. Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic? I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value. If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?

Timing of Adding Links -- Guidance Needed
We have entered into a partnership with one of our sister companies that owns many different small newspapers and their associated websites -- they have agreed to show some of our content on their site along with providing links back to our website. There are 50+ of these websites that we will be getting links from. Does it matter to Google how quickly we add these links to these sites? They are all very legitimate links with unique content provided. We just didn’t know if Google would view it negatively if we added a bunch at one time. Any guidance on the timing of how links are added would be most valuable. Thank-you.
