Where do I find the best link building company?
-
Hi there,
I'm trying to find an ethical, honest, link building company.
We don't want links on shady forums, or comment spam, or any of that black hat nastyness!.
I want links, on proper sites, and I'm prepared to pay for them accordingly.
We're also more than happy to write/have written/ quality content that can be linked to.
(We already pump out about 15 x 400+ word, optimised blogs weeks)
We spend hours on the various social media sites also.
So I think the only thing we're really missing now, is decent backlinks and possibly some more long tail keywords...
Over to you guys.
- Paul.

I think that an agency's blog provides a good barometer of their quality at earning links. Are their blog articles great and do they attract links? Also, you want to check their link profile to see the quality of their backlinks. Some agencies that I would consider top-tier are Portent Interactive, Seer Interactive, and Distilled.

We have used firms overseas for seo work and they are great. The only negative working with a company not in your time zone is when you need answers quick. I really like using a seo company as more like financial advisor. We do most of the seo work but it is helpful to have someone agree or disagree with your efforts.
If you can hire someone internally and use great forums like seomoz may also be a great way of building a good seo person in house. In the long run it maybe cheaper.

A few weeks ago Susan Moskwa and Maile Ohye spoke about this exact topic and Google's response to buying links... Their Answer was "YES" you can go ahead and purchase links from many of these agencies however it will not inflate your PR nor push any Juice to your website. The reason is because Google cannot shut down these companies however they can control the link juice from those links and downgrade the authority of the link at the same time it identifies new signals making Google aware of new branches of the link buy.
Personally You really do not want to get caught up in that Mess.
Link Building is a tricky thing these days since Google Caffeine as well as other Google Updates, They are always getting smarter.

Referenced from Google Themselves
"The best way to get other sites to create relevant links to yours is to create unique, relevant content that can quickly gain popularity in the Internet community.."

Did you give a look at the recommended list by SEOmoz? You can find it here: http://www.seomoz.org/marketplace/companies/recommended
Any how, whatever will be the SEO company you will contract, be always clear about your firm will in not risk any BH or shady link building tactics.

I would say a quality PR agency with SEO knowlege, that can put you in contact with high authority sites and publishers. Linkbuilding is PR if you ask me. You hit jackpot if the agency has creatives that can think linkbait.

How much should a link building program cost?
Hi All, I am relatively new to the world of SEO but it is vital to our business that we improve in this area. I believe our site architecture is good although we have a new site coming in the next few weeks which is effectively a re-skinning of the existing one that makes the user experience more relevant. What I would like to know is how much a link building program shoudl cost from an SEO provider and how they quantify what they charge - is there some kind of indicative cost per link or is it just "give us some money and we will do our best?" We have started writing daily articles on our news site and our natural listings are already pretty good. What I am looking to achieve is top three status for the London area (where we work) accross a broad range of keywords. I know this is what everyone wants but we are already front page and top 3 for many keywords and the back link building would appear to be where we are weaker compared to some of our competitors. Thanks James www.morganpryce.co.uk

Link Building for a Newbie!
Hi Guys & Girls. Following my previous question, I seem to really be getting to grips with SEOmoz and all its features which seem fantastic. As mentioned before, I am quite new to this SEO game and learning all the time!! Through all my reading and learning over the last week I have learnt that Link Building is one of the most powerful ways of increasing your SEO game. I'm really trying to get my head around it all. I have come across things like "Link Farming" which seems to be a big no no in terms of Google. Submitting to Link directories etc etc. Now for somebody new, this all comes across quite confusing. Can anybody out there provide me with a really simple but informative way to effectively Link Build? Best practices etc etc! I really want to learn and "up" my game! The website that I am working with is http://www.advanced-incar.co.uk Many thanks, Tim

Building Links
Hi everyone, I am new to SEO and in the process of building links the clean way. Any suggestions on how exactly I can find websites that are linking out to quality websites already? I went thru most of my competitors link building strategy - and 90% of their links are done either thru link exchange or paid links. So looking at my competitors strategy does not really help. So I need to find websites/blogs/forums that are ready to link to me if I can show them some useful content. How do I find these websites first? Please help! Cheers! Arjun
