Why not tell us what you have tried?

“We try to 'win' new business off old clients - if that makes sense ”

Perfect sense, business 101

Read some marketing propaganda ages ago that broke down all the stats and costs for customer acquisition, but long story short... it's a lot cheaper to up sell to current clients, than to continually keep chasing brand new ones.

Hi jcruzinsurance, can you elaborate, why would you recommend them? Have they gone above and beyond, are you talking from personal experience?
It's an interesting question, and hopefully an SEO bod will help out

Here's my 10 cents worth.

Google is now looking for lots of links with the same anchor text as that's a sure fire signal that your link profile isn't natural.

So the quick route to dominate Page 1 with <your keyword> by having loads of links with <your keyword> is now over.

So vary it, use combinations of key word phrases that include your key words. Mix it up with follow and no follow. Try not to make your meta description look spammy, likewise with title tags and H1 tags.
Very good, interesting reading.

I remember patiently downloading songs, used to take about 10 - 12 mins per song, which at the time was amazing

Interesting seeing some of the business failures, always easy to be wise in hindsite. I was at IBM during the dot com bubble burst back in 2000/01 and there was a massive fall out from over inflated web real estate and unrealistic projections. Amazon was loosing massive amounts of money at the time as well, so it's easy to see why traditional businesses turned their noses up at the web and wasn't seen as "real business".

I wonder as the web is maturing, what the next 10 years will bring. Maybe an end to spam, wiser more cynical business owners who are less prone to fall for SEO/web developer claims? A bigger increase of the freemium model as people get used to having stuff for free?
