10 links for one year for 250 UK pounds Can it be good?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by andyfr, Sep 1, 2009.

    Hello,
    I have an offer from one UK SEO service company for 25 pounds per link for one year.
    When I asked how I can check link sources to my site before buying they told me just promises to build links from good sites but withut checking from my side.
    But they told the good result of link building will be only from 10 links per one keyword.
    And my questions:
    1. Should SEO services companies provide list of link sourses sites for customer review before selling or I want somethink unusual?
    2. For which rank 25 UK pounds per link price is appropriate? (for one year)
    3. Is 10 links per one keywords minimal level for good seo result?

    In my opinion this is a BIG SCAM,check services area here on DP you can buy links for much less and they will present a report of created links and also you can see customers reviews.
    250 pounds for 10 links is also VERY VERY expensive.Hell for 250 pounds i could create you 250 links from pr1 to pr5 with your keywords and you can see the links after i finish.
    All respectable SEO companies provides a proof that they finished the link building campaign and also replace any links that die within the period the customer paid for also 10 links will not be enough to rank high in search engine for a keyword,you need a lot more than that.

    It's scam all day.

    10 links isn’t a lot. You would need to do competitor research to give an approximation as to how many links you would need.

    They shouldn’t need to give link sources maybe take a look at pervious clients and judge. It sounds like they plan to go find you link which is fine if they do that.
    What is the keyphrase you are trying to rank for?

    The company will provide report after building of links but are not provide any information about even level of sites which can be sources for those links.
    Can I ask to check the level of linking site before buying link like a standard customer question?
    I understood already about price, thank you! :)

    They will for sure not provide you any additional information about the link sources if this you're asking for. spun glass figurines has decent monthly searches and 10 links will not be enough for sure.

    If they will not provide any information how I can be sure about quality of links which they will build?
    And how many links could be appropriate for this keyword in you opinion?

    The traffic estimations doesn’t really reflect the competiveness of a keyphrase it merely indicates its worthiness

    Yeah, it can be really good. But, don't you want to spend that BUNCH of money on something else - more helpful to the site?

    Per word?

    I see these types of offers on Ebay all the time, priced way below that. Have you checked ebay?

    @blackberryseo i did not check the traffic estimations,i check the backlinks of his competitors,@andyfr is not about how many is about where they get you links from,how they place links there and if they guarantee that links will be alive a full year.If you cant see any reviews i suggest you to find another source and i really think that forums is full of experimented link builders could do this job or a better one for lower rates.

    What i don't understand is why you don't to this yourself,if you need some support you're welcome to contact me by PM and give me a way to contact you and share some tips and some of my knowledge with you. I am not an expert but i consider that when comes about link building is better to do it yourself if you don't know the person you hire.

    Cheers!

    Andy,

    Your best bet is to read much more in DP on link building strategies. Sites that offer links related to your niche with decent PR (3+) will be much more helpful in getting your site ranked for your keywords.

    Keyword targetting is another item you need to be watchful for. Use Adwords search traffic estimator here: https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox
    which will give you a good idea what kind of traffic you would receive for your keywords. Just maximize your spending when doing the query.

    If the keywords don't have traffic why bother?

    I posted a nice thread with useful tools for all new webmasters awhile back here in case you are interested: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1287408

    Lots of useful information can be gleened from using these tools to better your rankings. Best of luck Andy :)

    I think you are right on 100%
    I already started to do some actions for link building but probably I do something wrongly or probably I did not something important for goog ranking. It is why I think to buy links for receiving result even with my possible mistakes.
    Thank a lot for you offer!

    @pbruessow@msn.com his keywords are decent as monthly searches so they do bring traffic but i was talking about link building trust.

    Let me give you an example.

    I hire "John" to create 10 backlinks for me, he goes and create me 10 links in auto approved blogs,now after 1 month that blogs are full with "buy viagra online" and "penis enlargement" kind of links. Do you like to see your link next to those ? I don't think so..
    When you do it yourself is way better,you don't know how? Learn..keep reading how until you learn.

    Just 2 cents..

    Andy,

    For the exact spelling above using the tool I mentioned you would only receive 3 to 4 clicks a day using Adwords and being in positions 1 to 3. Not good!!

    I think you have some keyword research to do. The keyword Figurines would yield 1894-2377 clicks per day in ad position 1 to 3. Much better return.

    Good Luck :)

    How did you receive info about 1894-2377 ? Which tolls or sites do you use for that?

    Thank you!

    Andy,

    The tool is in my 1st post and Google created it for Adword campaigns. You have got to believe Google knows traffic. When using the tool, select type in your keywords, make your daily budget big like $1000 (it's only a tool and you won't be paying), leave the Max CPC blank and select all countries then click continue. It's as simple as that. Again, let your friends know that DP is a great forum!:)

    I don't sell links, but if I was going to, then I would charge at least 25 pounds per link.

    Every link would be on an article, which would each be on a different domain. It costs to get the article done.

    Andy,

    Since there is considerable traffic for Figurines you will be facing stiff competition. So while targetting Figurines as your main keyword (anchor text) when obtaining text links be sure to look for some longer tailed keywords such as Glass Figurines as well to rank easier. Keep your link development focussed on Figurines but venture out to some others as well and check them out on the tool I mentioned.

    Look in the BST section for some good trades/deals. ;)
