Hi, I am just curious about link building services. I have always heard that to build links we need to write articles and submit to article directories or maybe submit links to site directories. But , here I find that people are just paying for link building to be done. So, how does it work . I am sure the link building services wont be writing articles and submitting to directories. I have seen projects in freelance sites which say that they need more than 50 link , PR 4 Or more .I better show you one post from that site. -------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for 50 PR4+ permanent 1-way links for a wi-fi hotspot related site: 1. Only links from related sites are accepted (wifi, mobile computing, gadgets, IT + your ideas after we approve them) 2. One way links, no reciprocal links will be accepted. 3. Permanent links. 4. The link page indexed with PR4 or higher by Google, NO redirects, JavaScript links, hidden links - only direct static links. 5. NO link farms, FFA’s, gambling, pharmacy, illegal, porn, violent, or hate-based, blogs, forums, classifieds, dynamic links, or generally black hat links, NO rel=â€nofollow†links in the code, or any site that seems to have incurred a Google penalty. 6. The linking page has to have no more than 30 outbound links. 7. One link per domain, all from different IP addresses. 8. English language web sites only 9. Links must use link and text that I will provide. This is important as the text will vary depending on the keyword used 10. You will not participate in any commercial web rings or link exchange programs like Linkpartners.com, LinksToYou.com etc. 11. Links page must be reached from homepage in 1 or 2 clicks 12. Links from websites that already link to our site will not be counted 13. We will have the right to cancel a link if not found suitable. 14. Must give weekly reports on project Status. 15. Provide Excel sheet to include all the proposed links. (URL, type of the site/theme, Google page rank, IP address etc) -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am just wondering how this link building can be done without any article writing or article submission. The freelancers say that they would require maybe 2 to 5 days to do it. I was thinking what is the process that they are following . how do they do it. Does it mean that there really is no need to submit articles to article directories for getting one way backlinks. Please let me know. Bye, faraz
Also some people that do link building services just put the links on their massive network of sites. Another way is if they own a ton of directories and when people submit their site for a reciprocal link only they will place a link to your site instead of back to the directory.
You're asking people providing link building services (many of DP's users provide various SEO services, including link building) about a way they earn money I don't know for sure how link building experts do this work (I'm afraid real SEO experts don't do this type of work), but some of such *SEO experts* simply own a lot of sites with pages related to different topics (quite often the content on these pages is automatically-generated), so they simply place your links on their own websites. Perhaps some guys providing such link building services will tell us the truth... Will you, guys?
Well, chachacallis. Most of the projects available in the freelance site says that you are not supposed to submit to directories and no reciprocal links are allowed. I dont think anyone's network can be so massive so as to be able to give relevant links to anyone who wants them to do their linkbuilding. Just think about the vast number of topics available. How can anyone have such a vast network so as to be able to give relevant links to any site. And that too, when they are doing this thing for so many sites. If they keep linking through their network. Their network would become a network of link farms in no time. I have seen freelancers do that and they do that for about $50 to $100 in maybe 2 days to a week. Now, why would they link to so many sites for such a small fee. And this is a one time fee. not a monthly one . so , I dont think they are doing this from their own network of sites. And why is it being talked about the one link per domain all from different IP addresses. what does that mean? I saw all this in freelance sites and was just wandering about it and really want to know. Someone please shed some light here. bye, faraz
Some of them have directories with different topics for doing 3-way or 4-way, etc. link exchanges. That way they don't need a bunch of sites with different topics. They offer a link from their directory to some site in exchange for a link to your site, thereby building links to your site. You don't want a bunch of links from the same IP address because that is a red flag for the SEs that some kind of link exchange is going on. Even if they are on the same c-class, it can mean a bunch of sites sitting on the same server which is an unnatural linking pattern and probably just for the purposes of increasing SE rankings, i.e. search engine spamming.
Brianr2, Your reply makes a lot more sense. I think this could be it.And that is why they can do it so quickly. But how can they provide the links to pr4 or even pr 6 pages of sites. And why would those sites agree to get a link from a directory and link out to a different site. I mean they have a good ranking , they could charge for it. And instead of charging , they are happy with just a link in a directory which should be so easy. bye, faraz
faraz, the requirements you stated like an example will need to cost decent sum of money. If someone states you that he will do that for some peanuts you will get bs in return, like you said link on link builders site (he is owner and he may remove them later as well). Or he may have a database of sites ready to place links for free, as one way. But also questionable, I have such databases for some industries, but only for reciprocals, cause to generate a lot one-way really quality links for the money that buyer usually propose on such a project (few hundreds of dollars for few hundreds of links) simply not affordable (at least for me). Also they may have a directories , and use them to generate 3-way links. I think a reasonable price for quality one-way link something like $5 and upto $10 for really good links. See no point to work for less. Also see some guy selling it for $1. Wee, in the end he will be out of this business because of his rates. I've seen this already many times. Many persons of this forum goes for "to good to be true proposals" and then complaining about it. You get what you pay for (in MAJORITY of cases!). Service sections of this forums sometimes looks even more worse than on some freelancer sites. People doing everything for nothing (except small exclusions of course), today I've read like PHP programmer simply run with someone money , they choosed him because of price.
As a freelancer i only do webdirectory submissions and some reciprocal (not one way linking) at 2-3$/link I prefer not to work then work for olmost nothing
Does the traffic from the directory or the link matter ? Or do you submit to directories only for SEO
For PR and rankings -> this bring traffic not links from directorys (just few traffic this way ) if you put your link in to related popular sites this is the way to bring good traffic from linkexchange/link building
