Link building help or advice? Trying to beat competitors

So I've been advised that our website's at the stage where content submission is not enough to make moves in our keywords ranking. We've got to the stage now where we can upload an article a-day with keyword references etc - yet our progress seems to have plateaued from the original gains we made.

In terms of link building - I was advised "good quality link building." The example given was trying to get a guest-blogging spot in a relevant blog. The problem I've had (we're in Company Formations) - is that any blog in this area is done by our competitors!

Any ideas on how to link build, where I may find somewhere to guest blog, anything really to get me started

Ok so have you approached these blogs trying to guest post and then they reject you?

If so and they really are your competitors then you need to think a little outside the box

So you say you can produce an article a day? ok so instead of putting these articles up on your website you should create an account on ezine articles and some other article directories. Then you submit a few articles to these places which will give you a link back to your website in the resource box. Thats a good way to start.

If this is not enough or you want to really think out side the box.. then go to wordpress/blogspot/blogger/tumblr a few of these blogging sites. You then setup your own blog for free, and you create the blog about the theme of your business and the keywords your trying to target.

e.g. plumber in london.. you create the subdomain plumberlondon.wordpress.com you should try and get your keyword your trying to rank for in the domain .. keyword.wordpress.com

then you put these articles up on the blog, but the first few articles you put up shouldnt have any links back to your site, otherwise they will look spammy blogs and not give you much value. Then after a few posts you start adding links to the articles you post from then on.

no you can do this with all types of blogging sites like wordpress/blogspot. but you will need to do a few backlinking to these sites you create but the dont need to be as good links as you would get to your own site.

These sites wont be as good as getting a link from other well established blogs but you get a bit of value from it.

Hope it helps.

You might be able to find a relevant blog which accepts guest blog posts at myguestblog dot com (sorry, just joined so cannot link this)

I allow guest bloggers on a few of my sites, a company formations related articles would fit in nicely with a couple of them.

I don't surround the articles with ads and allow 2 links in the body of the article.

Do a google search for Article Sites and you will see one of my sites (it's the UK one)

Thanks,

This is one of the ways to go when you want to build links on your own. Just remember to use a proxy when plan on doing this.

Google would not exactly think it's a good site, when all the wordpress, ezine, hubpages or blogger site came from ONE IP address... Unless your provider changes IP on a daily basis or your IP gets changed everytime you plug off your Internet?

This sounds like it could be a good idea in theory. Does this definitely provide decent results?
