Best place to outsource backlinking services?
-
Hi, I have been doing "lite" SEO on my site for several years and have achieved some decent ranking for relevant terms. I have good solid content and and am simply in need of quality backlinks to boost my SERPs. I stopped doing SEO because I was focused on development of the site for about 6 months and lost about half of my traffic as a result.
In the past I have used rentacoder, guru, and odesk for software development, but does anyone know the best one to find decent SEO consultant/content writers?
I want to start out at about $300/month for back links and ramp up from there.
Also, The last company I hired provided almost all links from India spam sites, however, I still noticed a steady increase in rankings over a few months. Thought on thats?
Thanks!

Thanks for your insights! My challenge is that my site allows members to create private family websites, so all content they create is not indexed. I do plan on creating a public community section over the next few months that I think would be more aligned with your ideas. Leveraging my existing user base is definitely something I need to put some more thought into, so thanks for the idea!

oh yea, now that I think about it, I have used them too. Thanks for the tip (and reminder)!

Just a thought : Rather than hiring someone to do backlinking for a few $$$/month have you considered putting a few months money in to a good strategist instead?
The nature of your site is that it should be able to generate a lot of it's own links (and more importantly traffic + leads) through harnessing it's own user base. In short, if I am creating a site with information about my family then I'll want people to see it - make that easy enough and the links/social referrals should follow.
Get some of the strategy and on-site stuff right early and the effect of any links you get is massively multiplied. I'd imagine someone more interested in strategic seo could help you not only maximise organic links, but improve your structure, help you focus on the money keywords, help you convert that traffic and identify what of your content has the potential to go from good to great and draw customers in.

Elance can be pretty good but be wary of the exceptionally cheap providers and be very specific in your brief about what you want. If you are specific and you try providers out with small jobs to begin with you will find one you are very happy with.
We've had contractors that were an absolute joke and others that exceeded all expectations so it's certainly worth taking a look...

I have been curious how much traffic i would be able to drive thru social? I am assuming it's most effective to focus on traditional seo and then move to social as a secondary tactic in the future?

Looks good but have you used them? Thx!

Social isn't too bad just can be time consuming. Fresh content writers who are good and engage the users is more tricky. I have a friend I use for that and manage all my social profiles myself and few others besides. The trouble with outsourcing is managing the expectations which in itself can be a full time job, I'm lucky over time I've found good people I work with and just going into creating videos to maximise the content and information we show to our customers when they visit our sites.

Yeah, Been there got the T-shirt. It is hard to find decent people these days as there are so many spammers and "fakes" out there. Whats the site and industry? Do you do much social? Have you tried connecting with company's on twitter and asking for back links? Are you creating content much fresh content that could attract readers and links?

Backlinks vs multiple domains
Hello, Our main website is setup on a .com domain and a .ca is setup as a 301 Permanent redirection to the .com. We just signed up to Majestic and found that we had a bunch of backlink linking to the .ca instead of the .com. My question is, is the SEO juice (for DA) being passed by from the .ca to the .com or I should start contacting those websites to get the backlink changed to .com? Thanks

Rankings Dropped After New Backlinks.
I have a low-traffic website (under 100 unique visitors per day) and I've encountered a strange issue started yesterday morning. I acquired three back-links, one of these back-links is contextual and the other two are site-wide. The site-wide back-links are from PA 40+ blogs. It looks like the back-links are already indexed by Google. Despite these new back-links, my rankings across multiple keywords have dropped several positions. I'm new to SEO, but I would assume new back-links would improve my rankings. None of these back-links are low quality links, they are from real established blogs with high domain and page authority values. Could anyone give me insights into why my rankings may have dropped with new back-links?

.edu backlinks.. where to point them for a scholarship
Hello, My company offers an annual college scholarship to Women in Business. I have numerous colleges that have agreed to post our scholarship on their college websites. I want to make sure I get the full value of the .edu backlink and need some advice. I have a brand new scholarship page with no authority and that's basically orphaned from the rest of the website. This page details the application process for the scholarship. If I were to link out to my home page, and say 3-4 other top landing pages, would this be the best way to flow some of that link juice into my site? Or is there a better way to do this? Another thought I had was this.... I could take one of my top landing pages, www.example.com/example, and place the scholarship information on that page at the bottom, and have the school link to this: www.example.com/example#scholarship (so the scholarship info appears on top when applicants click it)-- My question here is this... becase the second URL includes an anchor, does google treat that as a different page? Or would the pagerank flow to www.example.com/example ? Recovering from unnatural link warnings and algorthmic penalties and trying to get the best benefit out of the new, quality links I'm building. Any advise would be appreciated! THANKS!

Good/Bad Backlinks - Penalties
Just a quick question from someone that is extremely new to this: If "G" penalizes sites for bad backlinks (low quality, spammy) then why are people not building these types of links towards the competitors that are currently outranking them? Or are they? and if they are, is it beneficial? (are your competitors dropping in rankings?) Seems like a fair question.... Any insight is appreciated
