Link Building Experts

Link building plays a very important role in a successful online marketing campaign, however if done incorrectly it can destroy a site's rankings. Building links to your site is one of the best ways to improve your search engine rankings. There are a variety of reasons why you should hire a professional SEO firm for your link building and site promotion. A link building expert concentrates on acquiring backlinks pointing to your site from other websites. Although link building sounds simple enough it is extremely difficult and time consuming; simply because of how Google filters out the value of links.

Most link building "experts" and SEO companies only acquire directory and reciprocal links. However, even when done correctly, directory and reciprocal links alone will not fulfill the full potential of a competitive and robust link building campaign. Self optimizers, inexperienced SEO's and business owners usually do the poorest job of link building, simply because they have just enough knowledge to screw things up. Far too often we have witnessed amateur link builders erase high rankings and bury good websites by submitting them to the wrong directories or associating the clients' sites with 'bad neighborhoods'.

We create natural backlink profiles and only submit our clients to directories that help in search engine rankings and actually drive traffic to their site. As Google continues to figure ways to find real and relevant links, it is our job to continue to understand the algorithms, identify which links count and create a variety of links pointing back to your web site utilizing the most innovative white hat linking strategies..
  1. We create link building campaigns aimed to help sites rank high for keywords
  2. We create link building strategies aimed to drive more traffic to your website
  3. We are link building experts with SEO techniques that have proven to work for ANY industry

New Hope for the Unemployed by the Investigative Guy

In October the national unemployment rate hit 10.3% this equates to approximately over 15 million Americans left jobless, many with little hope of returning to work in the near future. However perhaps there is hope out there a hope that has yet to be revealed.

INVESTIGATIVE GUY John Mattes has uncovered a federal program designed to give free gas cards to the unemployed but is a secret to those it's designed to help. The U.S. Labor Department provides millions of dollars in supportive services to the states for the unemployed. The program in some areas provides free gas cards, child care assistance and even pays for job interview clothing -- but the program has never been publicized so the unemployed don't know it exists or how to ask for it.

Freelance SEO Expert Gets New Google Profile

For too long, I've avoided creating a profile in Google for various reasons. But I just found out that they are giving free business cards away to Google profile members, so I figured I'll capitalize on that. I don't get too personal in my profile. It was mainly built to support my theme; Freelance SEO Expert.

You can check it out if you like. I'll revisit it in the near future and make it a little bit more robust. But for now, let's put some age on it and give it a link.

A San Diego SEO Company on Merchant Circle

Another great place to submit your local company is Merchant Circle. Yes, there are 1,000's if not millions of places to submit your business to for a listing, but there's something special about Merchant Circle. It's like the Yellow Page, mixed with MySpace but with a twist. Businesses can now mingle and network via a social network and we don't have anything to worry about because we all understand that we're companies trying to make a living, friend and/or a buck. Here's a link to my SEO Company profile and my San Diego SEO Blog.

Link Building Expert Article - Backlink Building Tips

I just wrote an article titled "Link Building Tips for Obtaining Relevant Backlinks" in order to give a quick overall of a typical strategic and planned-out link building campaign. I cover various link building issues from what types of links you need, why you need them and some ways to obtain them. The main point of this article was to create a link titled "link building expert" that could possibly have the chance to be mass reproduced. (hence the title of this post and the anchor text to the article; relevance)

Here's a snippet of my link building article.
...

- Contact other webmasters and let them know about your site. These webmasters should be websites in your industry with a lot of visitors
- Notify forums. Every industry has forums. Letting visitors that participate in these forums know about your site can generate buzz.
- Find blogs in your industry with huge RSS subscribers. Ask them to review your site. Normally all their visitors/commentators will review your site as well.
- Convert all your text content to podcast using text to voice software (Or you can record someone reading it). Then submit your podcast to podcast directories.

Kate Sessions Park in San Diego, CA

About 4 or 5 days of the week, my girlfriend and I take our little french bulldogs to Kate Sessions Park. We just let them loose and they run around with the biggest smiles on their faces. The park is actually not a leash free park, but if you go after 5/5:30 (after the rangers have left) you can let your dog loose to play with all the other dogs.

Here's a video of Kate Sessions' large grass field. It's perfect to us and our dogs.
