    Backlinks

    I could explain whats going on but I won't in a open forum,I will say you have several keyword phrases,start using them as anchortext.I haven't looked at your site but I have looked at your niche. Any seo will have a wry smile on their face for one of your keywords.

    Is this the New Backlink

    social signals are not a big part of seo,more useful as an overall marketing strategy.You won't rank a site solely with +1's but you can with backlinks so that pretty much sums up their use in seo.

    Is UK Hosting Important?

    Where your backlinks come from is more important than where the server is based.A .co.uk means you're clearly aiming for the UK market so where the server is based matters very little,for local seo it might help. If you look at a .co.uk in both google.co.uk and google.com providing you check...

I'd hire...

    landing pages vs blog posts

    Use geo location,the same post will simply insert the town or city the visitor viewing from.It is used frequently on landing pages and works with a blog just fine. Saves alot of pages,and besides having mutiples pages saying the same thing will attract unwanted google attention.
