Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I agree, and getting outside the box to get legit backlinks that are not just "business focused" like being on a copier company maker website or BBB site often lead to tunnel vision. Many of the listed suggestions I have never tried - but will.

Great actionable stuff here! I just did the schema.org and did the "business" one, and did see some more favor from Google after just that simple addition.

Ohh and don't be afraid of your competitors, real contextual quality links outrank junk content link farms  - TRUE

"These may suck, but I am not in your niche Just be creative as your competition obviously is not"

They don't suck, and are what I need to get the wheels of progress moving. I think of links in a convention sense, and whats there vs. what could be there. Linking to a "how to lease a copier" is what everyone does, but NO ONE has done anything creative.

(please do send me the SEO writer you like)

LOVE IT Cody, I actually used a recent image from Office Space for a PPC campaign and it did capture attention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIRL0p2PSY is what I think you are referring to. I will start the wheels spinning on how to "one up" whats already on the web, and make it better...the whole point of the internet - make it better - they will come!

I like the "Roman Empire fell It was more of a "desperation" cry than a real strategy. Quality content is working, and I'm not complaining, but "copier leasing" is just boring, so what I can do much more easily in the B2C world, the B2B world is not so "social". Most people that lease a copier have facebook, twitter, etc blocked even in their workplace.

I have been all over the site, and agree that more SEOmoz reading is helpful.

I guess my still "open" question is based on a few people (listed on this site as reputable SEO companies) $2500/mo and the first thing they all want to do is build backlinks as that is what I have 8 or less and only a few do follow. I create quality content, and it gets indexed and organic traffic, but it will never compete with my competitors who sit with hundreds of referring domains and pages.

I'm not quite at a "$2500/mo deal" so there has to be something between $2500 and nothing for building links around my content...

Hello,

Page 1 of Google for the word "copier lease" and most other valuable copier leasing terms are dominated by the same 4-5 for organic (PPC too of course, but organic is what I want)

They all use some SEO company, so when I go and look for good link oppertunities, most of the pages I find are just SEO companies who of couse would never be interested in a competitor's link.

Examples:

ajaxunion blogspot com  or excellentpoly blogspot com and the list goes on, all just AjaxUnion "blog pages".

blog homerenovationguide com /2011/06/15/repair-or-replace is just inhouse SEO making ranking pages for CostOwl.

So, its hard NOT to want to throw up a blog farm and do as "the Romans do".

What ideas do you all have to get backlinks in this market of Copier Leasing that would hold up.

Thanks
