I have a bunch of links I'd like to try and get (a few hundred). Is there a service where I can submit these links to and that service attempt to get those links to my site. Started doing it myself and it was proving way too time consuming so I'm looking to outsource. Cheers
I'm gonna give you a link that will not only help you with this specific task, but it will help you do even better of a job than what you would have done without it! Garrett French & Ben Wills have this tool; Ontolo, it's very expensive. However, the good thing is they have created a ton of GREAT resources for high quality link building. And all the resources are free. http://ontolo.com/blog/LBHTD-How-to-Use-Mechanical-Turk-for-Link-Building This is what big brands, fortune 500's, and top SEO firms do to build links. Don't discount it or write it off because it is a lot of work. This is the foundation for entering any vertical/niche/industry.
Outsourcing is a great way to save yourself valuable time. Try oDesk. I have had good luck finding good people there.
You might want to contact an SEO or link building service. I have a few I can recommend if you want to pm me.
As d2minc suggested you should try oDesk. You will find a lot of freelancers that are willing to do this type of work for as little as $1 an hour and you can monitor their progress through the oDesk screenshots system to make sure that they are doing the work.
You can reverse engineer your competition with this site: http://linkpopularity.com Which is what I think your post originally asked for.
