When I put a job out there for a manual link builder using white hat techniques, what are the criterias I should place to make sure I get what I am suppose to get. Example: Lets say I want 30 quality links in 30 days using white hat / manual linkbuilding, what are the requirements I should place to ensure these are quality links I am getting and not spammy links that can actually harm me vs help me ? I do not want to be associated with a website that gives me a link but is associated with porno sites, etccc If I do not what I should be asking for then how can i possibly know what to ask for from a manual white hat link builder.
Well, ask for a report where you can see the links. Use SEO Spyglass to evaluate the quality of links and if they are well crawled. If you got any other questions, please feel free to ask.
A link from PR2 domain sites up are considered a quality link and you can even get a blog comment (dofollow) from a n/a page will also considered as quality.
Make sure if you ask where you are going to see the links, and what methods they will be using. If they are doing forum posting. I'd ask for the usernames and links to the forums so you can watch over the accounts.
