Have You Noticed that the Majority of Link Building Offices are Time Wasters?

    Hi,

    I'm having trouble finding reliable people to outsource my link building to.

    As my sites are growing, I find it difficult to do all the link building work myself. Decided I would outsource. So far I've fired three companies and several individuals on the simple basis that they are just a bunch of plonkers who cannot even complete a simplest of tasks.

    I'm quickly running out of options. Can you share your experience/stories on finding a good link builder? I also hope to get a few PMs from the 'old' members. Any tips and recommendations will be highly appreciated.

    Please note that I've posted this thread in the Link Development section and not in the Services section which should suggest that I'm looking for a conversation not advertising!

    :D

    according to me, o-desk is a very good site where you can advertize your requirement and get good link building services at affordable rates.

    Nowadays linkbuilding outsourcing is a very difficult task. The majority of outsourcers are from India having their own networks of blogs. Such blogs have fake PR and get penalized everytime. So you need a person who will order links from natural websites only. It's the main goal I think.

    Hire a virtual assistant and take a lot of time to instruct him/her really thoroughly

    Subscribing to some link building services could be a more viable option than hiring a VA

    Thanks for your ideas.

    Well, @w3bmaster, the idea is that the jobs that I'm outsourcing are very cheap. I mean, I don't need an expert. I need somebody who will carry out semi-automated submissions, scrape stuff, create reports etc etc. You shouldn't be an expert to follow simple guidelines and do the job. However, it only seems simple on the surface. When it comes to actually doing the job - they just cannot deliver.

    I just had to ask somebody to UNDO a huge volumous task he's been working on for two weeks only because he's got it all terribly wrong. Two weeks wasted and the only response I'm getting: "why sir? What's wrong sir?" From his perspective - I'm the bad terrible difficult customer and he's the victim :( here you go!

    The thing is that if I paid thousands of pounds to a real expert so that he submits articles for me, he would be insulted and I would have wasted my money. Because experts are for setting out the roadmap, working on strategy. For cheap jobs there are people who want to earn relatively good amount of money by doing what is a very simple (yet time consuming) job...
