If it means anything, I really like your site! There is a lot of great content! I found myself wanting to read more. Which is probably Number one in getting ranked! Good job!

yep PR submission plus Blogs are great for links! the more great content, the better!

Prlog.org Pr Urgent These are 2 that I have used that I like. HubPages is AWESOME but SO HARD because they are very careful about spammy posts. but you can get a few really good quality backlinks if you know how to put them in there!

I always link my site because if I'm on here, I'm looking for advice. and how can I get advice if I don't link my work? So, that's why i'll put a link to my site. but I have no idea if that counts as a backlink or not. can't hurt!

A lot of you are referring to Guest Blogging? What are some good Guest Blogging sites, in that case? Are they free? Do they eliminate you if your blogs are promotion material? Thanks!

Thank GOD this did not actually happen!

I wanted to start by saying this is an AMAZING forum with some really intelligent individuals, and I am honored to have the privilege to pick your brains a little. That being said, our website: http://www.viplimousineinc.com We are really looking for any and all advice on our website and how to build better links as a limousine company that we can do on our own and not pay an arm and a leg for. We have designed the site ourselves and have worked our butts off. All opinions are appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the awesome advice! We are running into the same conundrum. We built our own site and do our own SEO. So this is a HUGE head ache. But we are willing to learn as much as we can on our own! So it's great to see people who are learning just like we are. I have personally seen that creating a lot of Blog profiles and writing useful blogs can be really great for your website. Then I have also been told not to be too spammy. but it seems impossible when you are writing that blog to create traffic for the site!

Pay-per-click is pretty much the best way to get traffic while working on your SEO In the meantime....blogging and social media are awesome as well. www.viplimousineinc.com

Thanks for this! I have often wondered as well! Great discussion! www.viplimousineinc.com

Research REGULARLY. SEO changes quite often and the rules applying to SEO. regularly research Google and their algorithms. For example, link building is not as valuable as it used to be. Google is starting to focus on websites with valuable content. MOZ is absolutely a wonderful resource. www.viplimousineinc.com

I haven't used Pinterest much yet, but I can definitely see the potential in showcasing your product! It's free advertisement. Just have to be active and post a lot and they have to be great images! www.viplimousineinc.com

I haven't used LinkedIn so much yet! What's the best way to sell on LinkedIn??? www.viplimousineinc.com

Google's new algorithm is very tricky. We have found it to be troublesome as well. We are trying to build links with maybe starting a partner page where we will link trusted partners in our industry and have them list us as well so that we may have quality links to our page. Also, we blog a LOT. www.viplimousineinc.com

Social Media is great if you first do some pay per click so you GAIN an audience . Then you must post readworthy content for your audience to enjoy. It can definitely be beneficial if done right! It's also a great way to showcase your product. www.viplimousineinc.com

We use social media A LOT to share our Blog posts and show how knowledgeable we are in the Chicago Limo industry to our audience. I think it's great for reputation! www.viplimousineinc.com

I haven't heard of Stumbleupon! What is it? Thanks!

we're always updating our website! Any suggestions and thoughts are always appreciated!

Moz and Backlink watch are pretty awesome. I use them as well. .gif' alt=':seas8:'>

I've noticed people using keyword-rich URLs as well, even exact duplicates. I wonder how that is working. In our industry, we have a company that I have seen their original website on first page of Google as well as their duplicate page with a keyword-rich URL.

Links must be quality links. So no mass link purchasing. Content must also be great content!
