Please let me know if I have bad backlinks...
Hi AutoGlassRescue, The report you have made available here does not provide sufficient information to make an informed decision on your backlink situation...this report provides only the domains that link to your site. Within this list I see root domains that may well be hiding large numbers of hosted sites that might have been created for manipulative purposes. For example: wordpress.com could host just a few subdomain.wordpress.com blogs, or perhaps hundreds or even thousands. Without the actual URL list, (as you would get from the most recent links report in Webmaster tools), it is impossible to know. yahoo.com could be playing host to some harmless posts from answers.yahoo.com, or it could be concealing an orchestrated effort to manipulate search results via bogus posts on the groups.yahoo.com subdomain. Again, there might be just a few, or hundreds, or even thousands. There are a number of sites that offer individuals the option of claiming a subdomain which is essentially independent of the domain owner. These also include blogspot.com (and a range of country specific duplicates), tumblr.com and more. This Link Removal flowchart from the Bruce Clay blog will give you an idea of what to look for when analyzing your backlink profile, but you will need to be looking at individual URLs to get a clear picture of your situation. You could also take a look at our October Webinar recording and slide deck which focused on link analysis for some more information. Hope that helps, Sha

On-page SEO reviews
Hi, There's a few things you can do straight away. I'll assume you're trying to rank for' Windshield Repair' for your homepage and 'Windshield Repair Austin' and other keywords for each of the 'Service Area' pages. Add keywords to your alt image tags. Currently the main image is 'crack auto glass' which isn't great from a SEO or usability point of view. Make sure they are not just plugged full of keywords, but actually describe your site and the image. Rename the main image as 'windshield-repair-austin.png' or something similar (depending on page). Ensure the other images have a good naming structure too. Use the keywords on each page you're trying to target. E.g. for http://www.autoglassrescue.com/service-areas/austin-tx you'll probably need to use a play on words so to speak. Something like "We offer the best windshield repair Austin has to offer". That way the keyword 'Windshield Repair Austin' is in the exact order of wording (you currently don't have it at all on that page). Better use of H2 tags - be more descriptive and think of sub headings that describe your site a little better Avoid cannibalization - don't target 'Windshield Repair Austin' on both the homepage and inner page. Focus on 1 page for each keyword (i.e change page titles etc so homepage focuses on generic terms and inner pages on location specific terms). Get more links! http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autoglassrescue.com%2F You've got very few linking domains. Hope this helps!
