    40 hours a week might be a bit of overkill. The latest Google patent states that an unusual increase in link could be taken as spam. Counting directories I could get thousands of links a month at 40 hours a day, I'm guessing that would pass the line.

    It might be better to spend a few hours a week consistantly.

    I wouldn't be too concerned about directories. Offer quality content and the links will come.

    I have been working with Agents of Value for over a month now... and have been very pleased so far. So my rating is 5 Stars as well. You can also read my review at:

    http://www.successhop.com/agents-of-value.php

    I have been working with Massomeh, and as of today we have 2 employees working with us, and looking to add more to our team. From the start I have been training the employees on the SEO/Linking/Blogging/etc. strategies that i normally use. Camtasia comes in real handy.

    Currently I am working a full time job, and would rather spend $575 a month to have someone working for me full time vs. having to run home every night and go back to work....Since i have hired them a ton of stress has been lifted off my shoulders, and i am also seeing results to my websites.

    So definetly a must if your serious about making money online!!

    Dont believe in reviews from new members., Better do your research first, ask them to submit their clients and verify it before proceeding

    :rolleyes:

    Who are you to call me out on this? They asked for an opinion, so I gave mine. I am personally working with them, with 2 employees! What else could you want??

    BJ

    P.S. Just because i am new to this particular forum doesn't de-value my opinion!!

    Please keep in mind there are millions of Web site owners out there in struggling to make an income this like you! It takes hard work and strategy to make your Web sites a success. Please keep in mind there are lots of toys and gimmicks Beware of these Sites, their so call miracle software or products are quite expensive and get you nowhere!

    1. Ask questions to make an informed decision by email or phone.
    Request more information before making a decision.
    2. Be wary of "guaranteed" prizes and/or free offers. Participation in such offers is voluntary.
    3. Don't commit to buy if you are not comfortable with the seller's responses.
    4. Don't be fooled by a convincing name or one that sounds like a name of a well-know company. Research the company's reputation, like you would when considering other purchases.
    5. Never give credit card numbers or bank account numbers over the phone, email, or to free trials and/or to strangers. (free trials are usually gimmicks when they ask for credit card information upfront.)
    6. Don't make a decision or commit yourself if you feel pressured.

    How did find this site thought a email?
    or was spam

    Personally I'd say - find websites to link to you yourself. I've never heard of a case where hiring someone to do that works. You know your business better then anybody. Finding reliable directories for a niche is hard, but a few hours a month at that should get you a link here, a link there - assuming you have relevant content (which you should keep building and focussing on: more than a few hours a month).

    If anyone knows of a good outsourcer for linkbuilding, please advise.

    It's one thing to do it yourself but if you really want to ramp up your SEO then hiring someone seems like a smart option.

    Ok let me clarify on what Agents of value is:

    It is owned by Danny Sullivan who is the owner of Search Engine Watch Forum.

    http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/

    How it works is you hire an employee and work directly with that employee, through IM or email whichever you prefer! They are only doing the tasks you assign them each and every day. At the end of each day i am sent a full report on the work that has been done. The companies structure provides all the means that are necessary (desk, computer, office space, etc.).

    If you are struggling to understand what it takes to drive traffic to your site then maybe this isn't the best resource for you. I personally trained (through camtasia) my 2 employees (Mary Ann and Joy) on their daily tasks.

    You should only consider outsourcing to Agents of Value if you know what it takes, but just struggle with time. The work is then well worth it.

    The company is awesome, and i have been real happy with their service. I have seen a great amount of traffic coming to my site as a result of working with them.

    Hope this helps clarify my posts

    that successhop article is not a review, it's an ad. And it smells like an copied article:

    (emphasis mine) little strange to call some company "us" if you are reviewing them
