Ideas to take my site to the next level?

Have you contacted customers/clients who you've worked for and asked them to link from their sites? Have you used Yahoo site explorer to check out competitors links?

Yeah man! It is! There are other options for someone in as difficult a link building situation as yours. How about buying up old casino domains and 301 redirecting them to your site? PM me if you want more details about this as its an area im currently researching. Ill do a post on here about it soon.

Try thinking laterally, as in contacting companies who do the same thing as you but in the states, so swapping links with them wont threaten either of your businesses. I have a lot of success when targeting US webmasters for my UK only clients. These are mostly reciprocal link exchanges but if you know what youre doing you can get one thats a bit better than what you give back *wink*.

Also, how about making it a requirement of clients that, if possible, they link to your site? It may seem a bit dramatic but with a company like yours you're going to have to become a hardcore link builder. Make out that it's a small thing before you get the job then hassle them for the link when the jobs finished.

Heres a few more links that you might find useful:

Hi,

I have a couple of suggestions...

Firstly, I would pay for a few press releases to announce your business and the services you offer. An immediate benefit would be back-links to the site, but secondly, press releases get picked up and published on various sites so hopefully it will also mean more back-links and visitors to the site over the long-term.

Secondly, I would think outside the box and contact other potential venues for hosting these casino theme nights. You mentioned hotels, but how about approaching smaller players such as restaurants, bars and clubs? With Christmas coming up I'm sure you'll be able to drum up some business this way. Also, most of these businesses will have websites of their own and might be able to link to your site.

Hope that helps,
Tony
