Is Back Link Building still Good Practice
-
Since all the updates from Google I'm unsure as to whether I should be pursuing good quality back links and how many per month?for my website www.polesandblinds.com . We don't have a very large back link profile and its at least half of some of our competitors, we are currently active on blogging and the 4 main social sites.
Many Thanks I look forward to your suggestions/advice/criticism.

I'm in a similar positiand if not worse link wise. I have been trying the "link bait article" method. Been creating rich content with videos, images and long form quality content and it seems to be working. It's early days yet but traffic is rising. As yet conversions are not up and no links but it has only been 2-3 weeks since our first good articles went live and they are ranking well and driving traffic. The thing I noticed is that if I add a video to the content and submit video site map to google I get it on page 2-3 in about 20 mins! Epic speed at climbinthump the SERP's.

"and how many per month?"
Don't think that way.That's not how it works. Keep your blog going strong and then promote. Pictures and images will be big for you. Try to get them from your customers (pay them a little). Run a contest - Submit your pictures for a chance to win!
Something like that.

You need back links its still a huge ranking factor- just try to do real marketing that gives you a bi product of links. If you want to know from a strict link building perspective you can do nich directories, valuable blog comments , Q&a, Guest posting on real blogs - Just try to add value and get links from industry related real places not sites made for seo.

Looking for a trusted link building service
Can anyone recommend a service to build quality links to our site and work with us on a content strategy, preferably UK based? We have recently recovered from a link penalty and whilst this has been removed we now need to re-build a quality bank link profile. I've looked into the Moz recommendations but not many seem to be based in the UK or if that doesn't matter then I'd be interested to know people's experience. Basically, since the penalty we've become very nervous about link building even though we didn't necessarily create the problem! As a small team we've looked to outsource this and have looked at VA's but not confident the links they will achieve will be of good quality

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.

Should I link from my blog back to my product pages?
Hello... I just installed a blog on my Magento site. My question is whether or not i should be linking within posts on the blog back to the product or category pages that i am talking about...from an SEO perspective. If in my post i am talking about flashlights being important when preparing for a storm, should i link the word flashlights to the flashlight category on my site? I know I can do this, the question is should i, from google's perspective. A) should i link the word (flashlights) to that category on my page B) should i put a line at the bottom of every post that says something like "if you are interested in purchasing flashlights, visit this link" and hyperlink that whole sentence... THANKS!

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.
