I had good luck with recent threads that pointed me in the right direction: a) What is your favorite Directory Submission Service. b) What is your favorite Article Submission Service. So building on good info from our members: What is your favorite Link Building Service (or method). For example, I have used two outsourcing services: a) GetaFreelancer - which I felt was a fraud because so many Service Providers have fake profiles, GAF is rigged so shafted Buyers cannot give bad reviews to crooked Sellers, and GAF Support tries to keep escrow money. b) Elance - I tried one project with Elance, and the winning bidder gave me links that mostly came from the same IP number (very bad). So I have not had any luck with those two Freelance/Outsourcing services.
a. My favorite Directory Submission Service is hiring someone of this forum. b. My favorite Article Submission Service is www.iSnare.com. I never use both GetAFreelancer and Elance for link building.
