        Its the old black hat manipulation mistake.  Many SEO companies will create spammy links on blog networks or with poor quality content.  A focus on backlinks, and poor quality private blog networks means you must spend a lot of efforts both in time and money at the expense of high quality content on your own site.

        When I stopped even thinking about backlinks as such and more about high quality content on my own site, not only does it take less effort, cost less but the results are there long term.  Plus high quality content can actually attract links.

        To give you some tips how to do white hat seo.  You "may" have several types of content on your site:

        1.  Converting pages - these are your keywords for your products.  You will do good on-page SEO and try to rank in Google.

        2.  Pages designed to attract links - These are your high quality articles that do not try and promote your products, but instead try to be fun, helpful.  They may or may not rank for a keyword (i.e. you may just aim for social sharing).

        3.  Authority Pages - These may be related to your products that you try to rank for certain keywords, i.e. tutorials, guides, related information etc.  These may not attract links, but they may rank in Google.  You may use these to increase traffic to your site, but also feed traffic to your converting pages as well as increase the sites overall authority in the topic area.  You will also want to link well internally to your type 1 pages to increase the type 1 pages ranking over time.

        Now, the really high quality pages (item 2 above) you will want spend a lot of time on, making it look good, be helpful (tutorials are great for this) and as a rule don't try and promote your products.  You will place a few subtle links to feed link juice to your converting keyword pages to increase rankings of your converting pages in step 1 above.

        This is just one example where you think about your content, site structure, and realize that white hat SEO is actually alot of fun, and stress free from an SEO perspective.  You actually need very few links with this method to rank well.

          Just to give you some specifics for your particular situation:

          Type 1.  These are your pages you have linked in your footer.  i.e. dedicated server hosting

          Type 2:  This could be an ultimate detailed tutorial on how to secure your dedicated server (strictly non-promotional, with some subtle links to pass link juice to target pages (this could be links to your Type 3 pages, which then link to your Type 1 pages)).

          Type 3:  Make a detailed knowledgebase with 100's of high quality articles about howtos etc. I.e. how to install APC cache, how to install Xcache, how to install Softaculous, how to setup R1soft backups or any number of 1000 articles you could write.  You could even get very specific like Arvixe.com, or just cover the main issues like siteground.com.  Whatever you do don't use cheaply bought spammy articles.

            And for my final post:

            Take your blog post: http://www.prolimehost.com/blog/why-ssl-certificates-are-required/

            You need to think about how to make that high quality, and look at the Google Guidelines.  Don't be afraid to link out to external references to further information that may help your readers or reinforce a point.  Why have you not linked internally to a conversion page?  Pass that link juice along within the body of the text to where you want it.

            Have you checked out what your competition has written on the subject?  Is your article better?  If not, why not? Is your text generic, or does it actually help the reader?  Have you optimized the page according to Moz on-page grader?  Have you done your keyword research to get the right keyword, and secondary keyword (and even a tertiary keyword)?

            Those articles are the bread and butter of white hat SEO.  Make them count to increase traffic over time.

                Unfortunately I am not available to hire (too busy writing content for my own site).

                What I have given you will definitely get you started, and as you start to increase traffic from all the new articles you are writing you will slowly see what works, and be more comfortable with it.  Just watch Whiteboard Friday's here on Moz, as well as Q&As (this is great, as you quite often get to see where other people go wrong so you can avoid it yourself), blog posts etc, use the Moz tools and follow its crawl suggestions.

                Just remember slow and steady will win the race, and more content on your site will naturally bring in more traffic, as well as build authority and hopefully in time natural backlinks.
