What are your opinions on the quality and permanency of links that are found/created by outsourcers such as the “reputable†marketing companies on elance? I've been told they pretty much rely on triangle links. Any other suggestions or companies that do it differently?
Triangle links won't make any big impact. Simple and generic things can do the task done. I came to know from facts and experiments that reciprocal link are FAST, BEST and CHEAP. PM me
Why not just find site's who are relevant to yours with nice traffic and PR's and ask them for a recipricol link.
I was looking for information on one way links as a part of a rounded link building campaign: articles, directories, recip and one way. What is the quality of the links secured by outsources such as those on elance?
Wrong. More like TEDIOUS, DESTRUCTIVE and CHEAP. It doesn't have to be destructive, but most of the time people just do it wrong. It's about quality, same-industry type reciprocal links that need to be done. A lot of Elance/Rentacoder folks are looking for a quick buck and the sites they pick out as "quality" don't make the cut. Triangle links can work. Just use them in conjunction with other methods as well. I wouldn't tell ANYONE to do just one method to gain top rankings. No magic bullet. You need to do an array of tactics to get to nirvana (#1).
Directory and article submissions are the best bang for you. Lots of people here do them for pretty cheap.
Why Destructive? Reciprocal links are not less valued than one way link or triangle links. If reciprocal links are tedious, destructive and cheap than how triangle links are NOT?? I wonder
I'd say Triangular links are better than reciprocal links, sure, they're quicker and easier to setup, but not as good as three-way, or of course one way links. Time-wise, this is how I spend my time link building 50& on getting one-way links 30% Three-way links 15% on triangular links 5% on reciprocal links I tend to try to avoid reciprocal linking if possible and concentrate on the top two.

articles and in content links (keyword slected from a content and linking to your site) are best. one way links also has weight but recently perople are talking of Google dropped weight for reciprocal links
has everyone experienced the power of one way links? Everyone here is posting that recips are junk etc, but did you guys make big gains in the jagger update with your one way links? If one way links are super powerful, then it would seem sites that have link vaults, or coop would have shot up also , wouldn't they? I guess it possible they are discounted, but still. I have couple old sites that gained rankings from recips in jagger. The sites are like 4-5 years old. I also have several sites that are around 2 years old that have a lot of recips that slipped link 10-20 spots. Most of my sites that are less then 2 years old are mostly lost. Do any of you guys actually have 2 sites of around the same age that one has recips and the other has one way links, and is one doing way better? Would you agree that most of the reciprical links on the internet are less then 2 years old? I mean how many of guys have a site that has a bunch of recips that are older then 2 years? If google devaled most links that are less then 2 years old (just a nubmer i made up) would this make all your recips devalued? I'm just curious what is the visible proof that you are basing this on?
I'd like to know the difference as well, but I think triangle links can include muliple sites not just 3... kinda like a ponzi scheme And, back to my original post if I may. Anyone wanna comment on their experience with 3rd party link building co.'s?
3-way and triangular links are the SAME. They are as good as One-way links as both the linking partners are getting one-way links for each other. I can always help members with One-way/three-way links for them. Just shoot me a PM.
Think of it this way : except from having something unique that you could use for your site, why would you give an one-way link to a site? People that provide permanent one-way links use, in general, these techniques for obtaining those links : - their own network of sites - 3-way link exchange where they provide a link from their site to site A in exchange for a link to their client site - they buy those links for less then they are obtaining for it - they use different methods (other than directories) available for getting free links : forums signatures, etc Regarding the value of reciprocal linking : rec links still have value for SE and done it corectly one can obtain good rankings solely from conducting a good link exchange campaign (of course, it is better to target also other techiques for building links)..the most important factor for having a succesfull campaign is to get links primarely from content related sites; then filter those sites thru the usual factors such as unique content, possible penalisations from SE, number of outgoing links , PR of the page your link will be listed on,etc Hope this helps
