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.

Multiple Links from High Ranking Site Vs. Links from Multiple Domains - What's More Important?
I understand it is important to get links from many quality domains. Currently, I do have links from top domains (PR, Trust) and it I can get more from (high rank) pages on these same domains. Would it be better to focus on expanding my reach (find additional domains to link from) or to continue to build links from the current domains I have a connection with? What is weighted more? I realize doing both is important, but trying to figure out how to best use my time. Thanks! David

Competitors with thousands of links
Looking at my competitors link results on OSE some of them have 30,000 links to their websites. They are top rank on google whereas I am page 2. I know its quality over quantity but am I ever going to compete with that number of links? Is it worth getting some low value links just to bump up numbers while continuing getting good links? thanks for any advice!

How to improve (ASAP) the linking root domain, the followed linking root domains and the linking C-Blocks? Linkbuilding (or whatever) techniques.
I have a small site (.com) like any website in my sector. 30-90 pages. I have no crawls errors. Everythings is fine, just I need to improve my linking root domain, the followed linking root domain and the linking C-Blocks. Example: my competitors have 300 (one of them have 1300) of total links. I have 30. Anyone know some good strategies? techniques? tips? I just dont want to be in a farm directory, I want free links. I'm already running two strategies but it works so slowly. I want something faster at this moment. Also, any recommendation will be thankful.

New ways to get links (excluding on site link bait)?
Fellow SEOs, I’m looking for a new way to reach out to bloggers and site owners for links. There are quite a few link bait techniques to lure bloggers thanks to = amazing content, infographics,...but there are not so many articles on ways to contact bloggers/webmasters and ask for links... We all know that contacting site owners directly and politely asking then to place a link on their home page is as useful as a comb in Bruce willis’s hand. Link exchange is as dead as the Dodo and business partner links are usefull and easier to get but opportunities are often limited. I have been organizing contests for bloggers recently and it has been quite successful up to now, but I always like to have a spare trick up my sleeve. So if any of you have a decent method to reach out to bloggers/webmaster and get decent links please let me know, I will be forever thankful ; ) Cheers
