Creative Linking for Marginal Industries?

[theLotter]

I work in a field similar to casinos, which obviously makes standard link building practices more difficult.   Also, my company cannot operate in the US.

Any SEOMozzers who work in similar fields and have ideas for creative link building to successfully build a robost (and white hat) link profile for marginal industries?

Thanks!

I have a client in Mexico. I am in the US. What I do is try to link to them from local business chapters like their local Chamber of Commerce. Also, I try local business listings. Getting links in a market where the web really has no strong presence (other than facebook and stuff like that) is tough, but the competition is low! Make a public facebook pages page and put your link on that.

There are many strategies on link building. In fact, you can find many here on SEOmoz. Start getting your customers to Like your page. Here, read this: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, but that doesn't really work for an online business with no local presence such as mine...

Try this strategy. let's say you are trying to rank in the UK. Find some .co.uk sites where you can build links from. You may get better rankings in google.co.uk.

I wish I could help you more.
