Outsourced Link Building - Recommendations

    Hi,

    I'm doing some Link Building lately, and my normal link building guy hasn't been "up to scratch".

    To give you an idea of the types of links I look for, the criteria I use includes:

    - One way
    - Relevant, on-topic, themed sites
    - Above a minimum PR
    - No link farms / free for all directories
    - No more than 50 links per page
    - And a few more criteria

    If you have a good link builder who you can recommend, I'd be interested in hearing from you.

    - Who do you use for link building?
    - What has been your experience with them to date?
    - Why would you recommend them?

    (If you *are* a good link builder, PM me instead of posting in this thread - I'd prefer to hear about people's experiences with link builders than to have every link builder here make a post to sell their services.)

    BrentH

    www.scriptlance.com

    You can have tons of people from india, and bangladesh bid on your project and they will set their own prices. Some work for $1/hour, others for like $0.50 per link. I like it. :)

    Checked out ScriptLance and tried to buy their $25 listing package.

    Alas, they wouldn't accept my credit card >:|

    I gave up, put in a free listing - then put the job up on "old faithful" Elance and Rentacoder

    Hey BretH

    Honestly, after 2 years I haven't found a descent link builder. Link building for anyone is very frustrating. What Im doing now is buying permenent links from blogvertise.

    It looks like this is the trend. they link to 3-4 of your pages with different anchor text. It will be displayed on the homepage with PR but of course eventually it slides off but it still has its own page (with PR0 though)

    Keep in mind PR is not everything and the themse are very relevent. Make sure you tell them not to include words like "sponsored linnk" or "paid listing" as SE's are cracking down on this.

    Blogvertise is probably by far the better one out of "PayPerPost", "SponsoredReviews" and "ReviewMe" . Those 3 require bloggers to put "sponsored link" etc but blogvertise does not put this down as a requirement.

    I use Scriptlance a lot. There are some great SEO people on there. Just post your job. You have nothing to loose.

    Yup. I REALLY don't suggest it, but if you are extremely evil, you can ask the impossible (PR6++), and require that they reach this before payment.

    They give up far before this, and you end up with 2000+ backlinks free and a PR2-4/5 if you are lucky, and since they didn't complete job description, scriptlance does not pay them.
    *This is a terrible way to do business, but it happens daily on scriptlance and I by no means want anyone else doing this, just trying to make sure you are not on the other end of this*

    Addition to your criteria I also check number of backlinks, alexa traffic and if the site is indexed by search engine.
