Do you trust SEO freelancers for building backlinks?

So just to clear up the fog, is outsourcing a possible choice for SEO? Yes, you can and I only recommend that you do only if need it badly. But the catch 22 is you need to understand how to do SEO for yourself as well, this way you can see peoples work before you hire. Keep in mind on all freelance websites that you need to do your homework of hiring, the better simple smaller specific tasks and clear instructions on what is mandatory to do to get paid out. If you skip this process when your hiring, your throwing time & money.

Example: Looking for high PR 1-7 Sites for linking

-Must understand how to use proper anchor text as keyword
-Must understand show previous work (recommended)
-Must use all white hat NOT black hat tricks
-Links must be put placed naturally, not just to backlink

I hope this helps!

 

Thanks for your inputs.
I actually got a freelancer to do a part of the job and I am quite satisfied.
I disaggree that they are all very cheap and non professionals. I hired a guy from the UK, with an SEO company and costed me more than $5.
I will surely use him again.
