Hi there,
Can you please tell me how you can tell if the websites are being indexed by Google?
Thanks for the reply!

Robert offered an outstanding reply. I will add to be especially careful of link building companies with their own networks. When you join they begin to add your site to their network. When you leave them they begin removing your links and a few months after you stop paying them you have ZERO links left and you paid for nothing. This activity is advertising, not link building. Many companies fall for this type of "link building" effort.
A true link building company will acquire relevant links to your industry. This requires a lot of unique effort whereby the link builder learns your industry and establishes connections with the authors in your niche. The links you earn this way are long lasting, relevant, provide direct traffic and are highly valued. You wont find these links in any promotional "we will be hundreds/thousands of links for your site each month" packages.

You are quite welcome. We are an SEO/SEM firm, DrumBEATMarketing, link building is a part of SEO. Not a company that advertises as a link builder.

I'd use Open Site Explorer to check their backlink profile. Check to see what kind of links they were able to generate for themselves, and then check on a few of those websites to see if they are indexed by Google.
I had a company try to sell me SEO+Link Building, but their whole link building network had been banned by Google.

Gareth,
This seems to be the question of the day. How to link, etc. By asking about link building companies, usually, people are looking for easy as opposed to quality. (I am not saying this about you, but drawing a distinction).
The main reason is that most people do not want to take the time or expend the effort required in good link building. The only other option beyond time and effort is $$$. For anyone to do a quality link building program it will cost you. So, if you are looking to pay some amount like US $ 500 or $1,000 and get quality link building, I am not aware of any who do it. I am open to seeing some though.
The other option is to go to a directory listing company that is trusted/somewhat trusted and have them list you with directories. (Not great option, but an option). Here is a list of directory sites: SEOmoz Pro Directory List, which was recently updated.
To assist you with linking and all that goes into it, here is a link to SEOmoz Professional Guide to Link Building. This will give you some perspective on why finding a quality link building company that provides a lower cost service is difficult.
We build links daily for our clients and there are days that I think we are still under charging (and we are not cheap). The reason is that it takes people to make all of this happen and good people cannot be had at a cheap rate. We have to pay good people well to do what is necessary to get the clients the quality links. We continually have to look at the clients and find new quality link sources based on what they do.
Good Luck, let us know how you work it out.

Link Building is starting to be a transition back to College. You have to write high quality content that identifies, and utilizes references. In addition to just being structurally, grammatically and intellectually sound, you also have to have it fill a niche within your market.
For example:
You notice that several university websites have an incomplete analysis of the water shed on a predominant mountain range in their area. You could collect resources online about this topic, and write a complete analysis of how it effects the people around it. You could then request links from these universities to link to your complete article. After you go through the 15-20 relevant universities you could start contacting the cities, real estate agencies and some guiding services to link to your article.
As long as you write a high quality piece of content that people will find informative and enjoyable you should generate a few links. Of course, I would suggest picking a more interesting topic, but this is just hypothetical.
That being said:
I would suggest The Interenet Marketing Ninjas (formerly We Build Pages) and Virante. Both of these companies have reputations for being great link builders, but you pay for high quality safer links.
If you aren't overly concerned with the risks, and you have a smaller budget, you could also talk to a link broker company like Text Link Brokers, who will assist you in purchasing links (which is a no-no if found). I don't mean to alarm you, Text Link Brokers is a great company that doesn't give out their client info, but it would be careless of me not to mention that there is a risk.

Two link building proposals, which one is better?
Hi there, Our site has a DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links. We haven't done any offsite SEO before, we got to where we are today organically. We're thinking about hiring a link building firm to help increase our rankings and we've received two proposals. Firm A offered to build us 30 links from DA 50+ sites over 3 months. The anchor text will most likely just be our domain name. Firm B offered to build us 90 links from PR2+ sites over 3 months. They have control over the anchor text. Given our site's profile, which proposal makes more sense for us? Would either of these initiatives move the needle for us? Thanks.

Outsourced link building?
My company is looking at outsourcing part of our SEO - some supplementary link building to boost some deep links. What does the SEOmoz community think of outsourcing link building? Every company that I've researched seems to employ very low quality techniques, which ends up with a bunch of spammy/sidebar/links page/comment links. Are there companies that specialise in high quality link building? We would definitely be looking for people that would do things like write engaging guest posts, etc, rather than spamming our brand across the internet. Are there any lessons that you've learned that you can share with me?

Hiring a Company for Link Building
I am considering hiring a company to help develop link building for our websites. It is just too time intensive for me and I would like someone with experience to do it. So. . .what are the things I should ask of this company to make sure they know what they are doing and will do it in an ethical manner? What are some things I should make sure that they will NOT do with the links? Any guidance you have on what I should tell the company would be helpful.

Link building strategy - black hat or white hat?
I have a competitor who always ranks very on alot keywords relevant to our business and using Open Site Explorer I note they have a tremendous amount of links. I also noticed that it appears their web company has gone out and set up numerous websites with relevant content, and then have linked back to the competitors main site. Is this kosher? I ask because before I settled on my current domain name, I purchased several keyword rich domain names; should I be thinking of setting up websites with relevant (and original) content and link back to my main site?
