    It really all depends on what your budget is and what you can afford. I think you will find that high pr backlinks will do best for you.

    you usually get what you pay for. $80 for 50 articles and $80 for 300 backlinks is dirt cheap price. if they are quality articles (no quality writer will write articles for about $1.50 a pis) and quality links, then i would say you are getting the cheapest service ever.

    are you being generous in adding $40 as tips or your SEO company adds the additional service charge on the bill like they do in some restaurents?

    It seems like a pretty good deal for all of that stuff. I have no clue what you want to rank well for, but I'd definitely do it if you think it will help you out.

    Bulk backlinks are a bad idea. You've really got to do your homework to ensure that you're getting backlinks that are worth anything at all. Backlinks from pages that are PR0 are practically worthless for SEO purposes.

    Directory submission is dead. Nearly all of the directories you get submitted to are in 'networks' owned by the same person or company. These are almost always regarded as 'bad neighborhoods' by Google, and will be practically worthless.

    Having 50 articles written isn't a bad idea, but for services that cheap, I wouldn't expect to have very high quality. And poor quality content is as bad a no content at all.

    Hey, nice tip for paying for nothing. By that guideline, you should tip me $400, because the advice I'm giving you is worth at least 10 times as much.

    only offer I like is article posting.. you can ask some article from them and post in on your blog.. see if it creates some revenue.. then you can invest in that..
    Backlinks you can do it yourself.. there a lot of ways you can get it on DP ..

    I would spend your money on getting a smaller number of quality articles written (if you can't write them yourself) and submit them to the best article directories like Ezine. As mentioned above, $80 for 50 articles is way too cheap - they are going to be very low quality. The rest is a waste of money: random backlinks from sites that are not in your topic area will do nothing to improve your search rankings.

    That's a pretty extreme deal you got there. Hope they have a high itrader count.

    Why not try the Panjema team for writing of articles. I believe they will help you to submit to article directories too.
