hello all. i am thinking about outsourcing link popularity building. Does anyone ever use this type of service? Any recommendation from a ethical firm/seoer to provide such a service? thansk in advance for any advice.
most likely all they'll do for you is purchase links- which is going to cost you a lot monthly. it's possible that they might find other things to increase your link pop, but i think those are probably better handled yourself. get a links page and ask for recips, submit to directories, view where your competitors get links and then request there..
thanks disgust. it's interesting that they actuall buy links for me. I have questioned how they obtain one link link to me. some claims that they have involved with 100 of websites and can link to me. that seems to work out to save time. if they are going to buy links for me. then this may not be a right solution. I perhaps end up with paying monthly to keep those links. um....there are no time saving solution huh?
If they are going to charge you money to put your link on their 100s of websites aren't they selling you links. What is the difference between that and having them buy links for you from some third party? Ferret says there is always a time saving solution and that may be true, but in SEO there is no free lunch. If you want to save time you are probably going to have to pay for it.
I found this post/thread yesterday about a "link building service" http://www.v7n.com/forums/ftopic10463-0-asc-0.html If you're a "theme" person I doubt it will interest you. If you just want links plastered all over the net on your behalf it may be of interest.
Does it do any harm to have links from unrelated sites? Would 2 links from a related site be better than 4 links from unrelated sites?
As far as anyone knows it doesn't do any harm to have links from unrelated pages. They still count towards PR if nothing else. I love these kinds of specualtive questions "would 2 from X be better than 4 from Y". Nobody knows, and nobody can answer that kind of question. How about 1 from your mother and 2 from your brother and 5 from your uncle joe? What do expect for an answer? Do you think someone can tell no, 2 isn't better than 4, but 2.2345 is better than 3.7654???
lol you sure know how to put people in their place Compar. The reason I was asking is because I have gained a lot of links in the past 2 - 3 weeks but a lot have been unrelated and my SERP's have gone down for some terms. I think it may be because other sites have just added pages with my terms but I thought it also may have been because I don't have the same quality links coming in.
I don't even think that is true. I think the answer is "it depends". There are literally 100s of factors that effect where a site is placed in the SERPs. You can't possibly isolate a specific question like is 2 X better than 4 Y and give an answer. All you can possibly say is, if Google is checking the anchor text of a link against the theme of the page on which it resides -- and that is a hell of a big "if" -- then obviously a link from a closely themed page will pass more relevance than a link from a unrelated theme page. But to start with Theme is a highly variable attribute. I don't think Theme is black or white. I think Theme is a continuum. So the next question is how themed is the linking page? Is it 100% themed, 50% themed, or 0% themed? Look at the problem of determining theme. For instance Gambling, Pornography and Alcohol are all adult activities or pursuits. They are also a class of pursuits general regarded as slightly "sinful". So is a porn link on a gambling page on a themed page? It is if you think the theme is adult products. It is if you think the theme is sinful products. And it isn't if you think the theme is porn.
Guyfromchicago: i just got a chance to look at your post http://www.v7n.com/forums/ftopic10463-0-asc-0.html may i ask about this link building service, is it pefectly legitimate service? can a site get banned? I am interesting..but would like to hear from others. anyone used it before??
Yes, I left a comment on his feedback saying the same thing. It's great to see some of my first posts at the forum again lol.
lol Hows this for a theory. Purely something I brewed off the top of my head, there is no factual evidence in this yet. Okay so at some stage google will most likely introduce some sort of themed part to its algorithm. Well you would expect so. And this will tie in with your experiences weirfire. Lets say for a moment that they are allready doing this. Google analyze all your inbound links and then determine the theme of each link pointing to your website. And compare them with the theme of the particular page they are linking to. Then through their calculations they give each inbound link a % rating on how related to your theme it is. Then they would calculate your percentage overall for each keyword possibility of the inbound links. Now here is where it would get interesting. Google then rank your Serps based on all their other factors. PLUS your rating on how on-theme your inbound links are. Now if you were to run off and get hundreds of un-related links. You would in effect be diluting your rating and lowering it, because all of a sudden your total ammount of links are less related to that particular keyword. Hence your serps may fall to allow someone with a higher themed site. Man I love that theory Brad
... I actually am making something that will aid seo work greatly. I currently am finishing the new design to replace the old one, and me any my programmer expect this to be up around the 15th. You will be able to purchase permannent links in bulk for your website. Users who join must agree to put the code on their site, and my system verifies when they do. Then I review the site, and make sure the content is appropriate for their selected catagories, and it is a quality site. Then you can go to your account and select how many links you would like to purchase, and the catagories want them in. Once payment is recieved, the system places that ammount of links on the sites in the catagories. Im not exactly sure about the price per link yet or anything like that yet, but I am thinking it will be around $0.35 per link. So you could get 100 links for $35. www.bizlinked.com Maybe this is what you were looking for...
Yeah... Its pretty similiar, but at the same time... its a little different. I cam across their site a few months ago when I was looking up competitors. They same to be the only main one. It will be tough to pass them up in popularity, but anything is possible.
