well with regards to google, back links are the all powerful thing. However, they have to be great quality. Generally advertising, im not so sure but would love to know what others think.

Being brutally honest, if you're niche is web design I'd forgot about trying to compete in the search engines - it's insanely competitive. You're much better off using alternative marketing means.
By all means, get a site up and optimise it for your desired terms, but don;t expect to get anywhere fast, without a lot of time and effort.
I have a friend who is a copywriter and she's got tons of new business from going to these incraesingly popular "breakfast meetings". Cost her £750 for the year to join, but she's made that back with a couple of weeks.
Even the "web Design [insert area]" type terms are insanely competitive too.

Agree with Rallport - using Google to get web design customers is like using condoms to get pregnant. Far better to find out where your customers are, and connect with them directly.

Yer, but you're fairly active on a lot of sites that I've noticed on
Aswell, you have a pretty good blog with tons of relevant content to your niche, the Ops doesn't.
I'd also say the OPs target term, "web design hereford" is also a bit more competitve - as the majority of page 1 for me, are PR 4 sites - so all fairly well linked, thus needing more offsite work. Still it's not totally impossible.
