Welcome to the Q&A Forum

''In theory, it is better to walk before you run - so depending on your aims and targets, you should start with targeting the local keywords.''

That is unless, you are prepared to fork out a lot of money for PPC.

Dilemma indeed!

In theory, it is better to walk before you run - so depending on your aims and targets, you should start with targeting the local keywords.

Once you have got all hooves on the ground, you could then start to incorporate wider, unlocalised keywords to help with the growth.

To make use of this, I would find a domain that makes use of a search query as well as a localised keywords. You want to find a combination where it is obvious that you are based in this location, but so that you aren't tied to it when you try and take off!

Hope it helped.

As long as you make sure this is placed in the correct tags, it should work fine.

This question was asked nearly a month ago - how did it turn out?

As Cyrus mentioned, OSE does not account for every single link in the world.

Your website at the moment is very small in comparison to other sites, and Roger simply cannot find your tiny links amongst the rest of the web!

Needle in a haystack.

HOWEVER.

Open Site Explorer isn't the only way of finding this information. Analytics & WMT are both relatively good for finding links, both internal & external. If you can physically see and count the links on the site, then you just need to wait for Google to index them - you can check this in WMT.

Assuming the parent company site has children site - link to the new parent site from all of your child sites.

Issue press releases:

• PRFire.co.uk
• PRLog.org
• Free-Press-Releases.com
• 1888PressRelease.com
• 24-7PressReleases.com
• PressBox.co.uk

The list of free PR sites goes on.

There are also a lot of high page rank sites, like PRWeb and eConsultancy.

Hi Cashchampion,

I'd be happy to have a look, however I would require the URL.
