What is the best link building tool or service available?

I'm trying to find the most efficient and effective way to build link popularity. I'm starting to think that the best way is to outsource my link building campaign, but who can you trust and who is the best?

Or maybe i should do it myself...find websites and buy text links from related sites? maybe there is a tool out there that could help track my link building campaign, find websites, and contact websites?

 

the only way to do it properly is by hand. no tool will be able to help you with everything yoy need, atleast none i have found as of yet. a excel spreedsheet and google are your best tools.

 

I have been using http://www.linkmetro.com which is a site where webmasters who want to exchange links can find others to trade with. You can pay for the additional service which automatically adds the link partners links for you, but I'm on a budget and use the free diy links page service.

 

Try using the search tool at the top of the page - you'll find many relevant topics like this one

Be carefull while selecting the company you want to outsource your campaigns to.

Also know in depth what are their process and methodology of their link building campaign. For outsouring an important activity like Link building is very sensitive as one wrong step can put your website out of SERPs for rest of its life.

 

LinkAssistant looks great, i'm gonna give it a try.

LinkMetro is not my bag, i only want to exchange links with relevant sites and it looks like LinkMetro will automatically add links that are irrelevant. Plus the links may come from low PR sites.

How about submitting to directories? anyone know of the best way to do this? I haven't heard anything good about automated submissions yet so i'll probably stay away from that.

 

thanks seo_expert, i really appreciate the advice and i agree. anyone know of a trustworthy/reputable company that specializes in link building?

 

if you want to trade links there is

linkmarket
linkmetro
linksmanager
linkexchanged

You are in control of who you add to your sites in all these services

If you want to joing link networks there is

dp co-op
link vault

 

A few experts such like randfish at SEOMoz recommends http://www.andyhagans.com but I have no experience of him.

You might want to take a look at which programs I offer:

i can get you thousand of permenant links for exteremly low rates , pm me if interested

 

Depending on your budget I find that the Buy, sell or trade section of this site can help loads.

If you use a well rated directory submission service you get 100 links for about $15 and an article submission service can work out cheap as well. The great thing about articles is that each article can be picked up by an unlimited number of sites so the initial number of links can grow and grow.

People with a higher budget would be better employing one person to do all the link building but using a few niche services found on this forum is probably the most cost effective way of building a few hundred links.

 

You forgot to look at my signature...

Brad Callen's SEO Elite is a good one, I purchased it and I'm very happy with the results. (I think he posts on this site, gives lots of good seo tips too)

With Linkmetro u can choose what catagories you want to exchange with and which ones u DONT want to
i do this to weed out the irrelevant sites.
its under Select Link Request filters

 

there are too many scam and fraud out there. Check out LinksCitadel.com. It puts you in the driver's seat to choose link partners. It detects fraud that would take a lot of time to do manually. It's the only network I know that does this and it's free.

 

Well I guess I should probably put my vote in for LinkMetro considering I run it

LinkMetro can and will provide you with one of the easiest and most automated way to exchange links.

We are constantly improving the service so that webmasters can benefit from us.

I don't think link exchanges are going to do as well as something like the DP Coop. Reciprocal links are devalued by Google, while 1-way links get a little more value. Right?

Who knows, trade some links on a old site and the rankings go up, trade links a new site and nothing happens

 

thanks for all the suggestions. i have a lot to look into. everyone seems to have there own service, it's hard to get an unbiased opinion. still much appreciated.

 

Arelis is the best tool for getting good link exchanges within a short period of time.
