To hire a link building company.... or not?
-
I am doing a lot of the niche partnership link building but I am looking for a company to compliment some of my work in other related areas. Need some advice from the group.
A couple of questions:
1. I'm looking for a company to acquire around 20-30 links per month. Not talking about easy directories or social links, but good (PR 3+) sites that are somewhat related to my business.
Is that a reasonable request?
2. What should I expect to pay for this each month?
3. Any good suggestions on companies in the US. I am a small startup with a fairly limited budget, at least for now?
Thanks everyone!

Good link building companies are very expensive. Theres webuildpages.com. $2500 for 10 permenant links. They are good quality. Also, I'd be sure to keep away from judging links by solely by PR. It's not a good metric on its own.

Thanks, seems a pretty clear message. Good advice.

Thanks for the advice SallyO.

Like SallyO, I could not stress enough to try and do this yourself somehow. I know of no-one who has a good experience of using a company just to do this. Someone always falls foul somewhere and you are the one that is going to pay the price, sadly.
Regards,
Andy

Good Morning Paddlej
My experience with link building companies is not quite positive. Two times I allready experienced that a great part of the built links disappeared when the cooperation with the link building company finished. In addition we had always to control if the links what we paid for are still there and if the "payed pagerank" is up to date or not. Because a PR3 link costs more than a PR1...
I'm sure that there are numerous of excellent working companies!! Unfortuenatly we have made this bad experience.
Is there no possibility to take a half-time employe or a trainee that built links for you?

Link Detox and Link Removal
I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own. But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

Current best link building practise
Hi guys, Just an open discussion. I don't want to be told to use directories or just 'guest blog'.. What is the best method you are currently using? A lot of my competitors are using older techniques for quick wins but we're wary to do that due to the long term consequences... Thanks

Link Building - Goals and Expectations
I'm trying to set concrete goals around link building and I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on what is reasonable to expect. If we are reaching out to 10 sites a day in a non-spammy, relevant way, is it reasonable to think that we'll get 5 links back, 2 links? I just don't know. Tips and tricks are welcome too!!
