Image from SXC.hu

So one of the big tasks with SEO is link building, and it’s a timely job! But if you want to achieve those top rankings its a must do!

There are a 3 core rules with link building:

1) Keep it consistent; gaining 10 links a day, everyday is better than gaining 300 links in one day and none for the rest of the month

2) Avoid reciprocal links, there's not much value in linking to each other

3) Google is becoming extremely smart when it comes to link selling programs - so don't buy links - you could be kicked off Google!!!


Link building can be broken down in to 15 areas, these include:

• General business directories
• Niche business directories
• Local area business directories
• Business Forums
• Niche business forums
• Blog posting
• PR article websites
• Social bookmarking
• Social networking

• Guest blogging
• Link bait

Supplying businesses with cheaper gas and electricity prices

Cost Advice Services Ltd (CASL) are based in rural Derbyshire and have been assisting businesses across the UK to secure cheaper commercial gas and electricity prices since 1994.

Dedicated account managers at the company provide a free analysis of current commercial gas and commercial electricity suppliers and help companies - regardless of employee size or turnover - identify areas where commercial energy savings can be made. They actively negotiate amongst the leading commercial energy suppliers to ensure customers subscribe to the most competitive energy prices in today's varied business energy market place. Over the years, Account Managers at CASL have formed strong relationships with leading energy suppliers such as British Gas, EDF, Scottish Power, Scottish and Southern Energy, NPower, E-On, Total, Shell and Gazprom.

Although they compete in a very volatile & established field, they boast an impressive and very satisfied client list. For example, St Pancras Housing in London, made savings in excess of £100,000 within their first year of changing energy suppliers through CASL.

To attract more customers to take advantage of their industry contacts for sourcing cheaper commercial energy prices, CASL have asked Creative Heights - website designers & SEO consultants in Chesterfield Derbyshire - to embarked upon an online marketing campaign looking to bring new customers from online searches. The website www.casl-uk.com is being optimised to attract online custom for businesses searching for cheap business electricity prices & cheap business gas prices.
