Struggles with Rankings

[APICDA]

Links seem to be very important to the success of websites today.  That said, they are real tough to come by in my specific industry.  Plus the president of the company does not want any links  on the site, so,................... thats where I am.

I paid for links in the past and that was a big mistake!!

I am still looking to gain a few links for the website (www.allianceconcretepumps.com) is ezinearticles.com a good location to post aricles in hopes to get links?  If it is a good location, do you know of any other ones which would be beneficial?

I know I could use some more and better sight content......... I have quite a lot of fresh stuff in the works not just up yet.  Hopefully in the next few weeks.........?

Any other words from the wise are very much welcome.  Thank You

If you post great content about concrete pumps on ezine I would be tempted to grab it and post it on my own site.

The problem with that for you is.... that would immediately give me pages that would overnight be ranking in your SERPs - above your site I bet.

Giving your content away feeds existing competitors and creates new ones.

The only content that I would give away is something so horrible I would like to see it on my competitor's site. 

Lots of people will disagree with me.  I am comfortable with that.

Do you mean to say we shouldn't post content elsewhere, but on our own site ?

If you have a message to spread you should post it everywhere you can and get everyone everywhere to post it for you.

However, if you are making money in a specific niche and you distribute content for your topics it is possible that the content will be posted on sites that will outrank you.  And, if your content is really good and those sites post it then they will attract links that could have gone to you.

Those are some of the reasons why I never give content in my topic areas away.  You can do whatever you want.
