Suggested Link Builder and Brief
-
Hello I am looking to do some link building to get a clients site up the rankings. I would like to utilise the cheaper fees of an SEO in another country. India or somewhere Does anyone have any good references. I can see some good ones on O-desk. $6 dollars per hour. Also does anyone have an example brief/spec that would allow to to communicate key aspects? Thanks James

Hi.
I'm running out of ideas of ways to build DA apart from links to be honest.
I undercut taxi firms (with masssive overheads) by supplying best price airport taxi runs out of kent. So my competition is generally local taxi firms with basic holding pages.
heres' the site. http://cheap-airport-taxis.com/
I can't see any other way to increase my DA from 19 than to employ a link builder to go a get links. I would ask them to report on on the DA and PR of the links and record where the URLs are so I can check them.
But with little value in hitting blog sites, directories now (as I understand they dont pass PR) what option do I have really? I cant get link aquistion from local government agencies ect as they prefer to promote the bricks and mortor style taxi firms.
Don't see what options I have left to build DA to be honest. A link builder seems the next logical step as long as I can track where im getting links from.
If you can tell me another 5 things I should do to build DA i'm all ears. I know link building is sneared upon but surley there is value there with what I can figure out - on page optimisatioin is woirth about 20% and the rest is basically linking...

If you decide on hiring a link builder with a low service fee, then make sure that to know all the strategies, tactics or methods that they will employ to increase the rankings of a client's site. The last thing you want is to have an angry client complaining that the cheap SEO you hired has damaged the site's rankings or incurred penalties due to manipulative tactics.
A cheap link builder can be useful if one does not have a lot of time to execute a plan to get high quality links. It would be better to create a solid plan to increase your client's ranking using great content, natural linking methods, and building an online brand. Then perhaps one can hire cheap help if you need an extra pair of hands to put the plan into action. Keep tabs on the affordable SEO you hire to ensure that he or she sticks to the plan and does not use any short cuts to earn quality links for your client's site.

James,
It sounds like you're looking for an unnatural black hat strategy. As mentioned by the other people who answered the question I would suggest maybe putting that money in a content strategy. Remember that when it comes to black SEO, it might seem cheap and easy to get links, but if you want something to last for awhile content creation that's evergreen is the way to go.

I would not trust cheaper SEO's across sea's, they will often just use automation software and build un natural links. I am sure you can find a hand full that will legitimately build links such as sharing pieces of content from your websites & also content that they write. I would put your funds into content creation and come up with a strategy to get that content seen. Post to all social networks, and then use some of your content to specifically do guest blogging.
I would make sure each website has its own Facebook page, Twitter, Google+ & Maybe even Pinterest. You can also share your content through websites like Reddit, Digg and even Squidoo.

Are you looking for hire a link builder from India?
That is most likely not a good idea, majority of freelancers on Odesk and Freelancer all have grey hat or black hat link building. They spam lots of links to your site on other domains and this is not good for SEO. And at the end of the day it could damage your site.
I suggest you focus on a building great content and connecting with individuals within your niche to get links.

Confused About Potential Spammy Inbound Link
I unsure how my page got backlinked on this "passive DNS" website: http://pdns.daloo.de/search.php?alike=0&q=66.96.162.137 This looks to be my only inbound link, so I am worried this is negatively affecting my site ranking. Is this 56% spam score link negatively affecting my website? If so, any suggestions? Any feedback or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am very ignorant to what this person's webpage is about and why my page was linked.. Sincerely, Hayden My website: https://cashflo.org/

Can You Suggest 3 Books to Help Me with My 2014 Seth Godin Pick 3 Project?
Yesterday in Seth's blog he gave a wonderful suggestion for making 2014 a remarkable year. He suggested that you pick 3 people who have influence over your life/work and select three books to buy and give to these them to have them read, and then, discuss with you. Here's how he describes it: "Identify three books that challenge your status quo, business books that outline a new attitude/approach or strategy, or perhaps fiction or non-fiction that challenges you. Books you've read that you need them to read. Buy the three books for each of the three people, and ask them each to read all three over the holiday break." - http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2013/12/pick-three.html Don't worry about whether or not I've read the books you are suggesting. If I choose one, I'll read it first before asking someone else to read it. Here are some of my ideas: The End of Business as Usual - Brian Solis [currently reading] Don't Make Me Think - Steve Krug The New Rules of Marketing and PR - David Meerman Scott Positioning - The Battle for Your Mind - Ries and Trout Influence - Robert Cialdini Engage - Brian Solis The Dip - Seth Godin Keep It Simple - Siegel & Etzkorn Buy - Ology - Lindstrom The Long Tail - Chris Anderson FYI - The three people I've identified to share books with are my CEO (to whom I directly report), our Marketing Director (who is a peer, but who controls most of the marketing budget), and the Vice President of Retail Sales (He is also one of 5 co-owners of the business and a major stakeholder). The books you suggest can be the same for all three or different for all three. I think the major challenges we are facing in 2014 is agility, branding and redefining or abandoning old business practices that are costly, time wasters, inefficient, or all of the above. Thanks everyone!

Are you affected by the Gov't shutdown or is it just your .gov links?
With the shutdown came the take down of sites such as http://www.usda.gov/ and even: http://nsa.gov/ (even though http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/nsa.gov says its up UPDATE: now down). Those .gov links might not be worth as much (pun somewhat intended) But here comes an actual question as I was thinking about this, I am really curious... Did your SEO efforts suffer in anyway due to the government shutdown, or is it too early to tell yet? PS Isn't it also interesting that Google's homepage is choosing to celebrate Yosemite's National Park 123rd anniversary when all National Parks are to be closed in our nation? Tfe85nN.jpg

Has anyone had success disavowing old links or competitor spam links and should the disavow tool be used ONLY as a last resort?
One of our clients has some shady old links that we just recently discovered with a new link analysis tool. Not sure if they are harming the site or not but given the nature and verocity of the latest penguin updates we want to remove or negate their effects on the site asap. Thanks

A suggestion to SEOs that cold call potential clients
Learn some basic salesmanship. Do you realize that business owners are getting 3-4 phone calls and emails a day from other SEOs claiming to be the best? Be polite, ask questions, and don't insult me or yourself through ignorance. Ask questions. You might just discover that we could work together. When you tell me that I'm not ranking for "competitive keywords" it tells me that you don't know what I'm trying to rank for. When you tell me you can get me to the top of Google in 3 months or less, you're still telling me that you don't know my business and what I want from my website. Who said I wanted national ranking anyway? Oh right, not me because you never asked. And if I answer the question "Do you want more business/leads?" with "No." Then politely end the conversation and move on. The rare time that I do get asked about my current efforts, don't insult me by calling me an amateur. I may be one, but talking down to me, or trying to make SEO sound like you're turning lead into gold will get a quick hang up from me. If you want a contract with me, learn to negotiate based on my needs, not your process that you feel married to. There are a lot of business owners out there that would be willing to work with you if you treated you leads with respect rather than iteration 23 of your cold call script. And in response to the person this morning that sent a "free report" of basic SEO fixes for my website, make sure you put that report together using **my website. ** I know you're working from a template, so it should be really easy to remove the info from the wedding company and the lawyer's webpages before you email it to me.

LinkSmart Raises $4.7M to Dynamically Change Links
LinkSmart is a startup trying to put a new spin on link management by providing a platform to dynamically change links. They just raised $4.7M, and TechCrunch posted a quick blurb on them here that is worth reading. In short, the application will allow a site owner to change all of the text links on their site in real-time. The idea is that this will help improve click-through rates, optimize traffic, etc. How do you guys see this from an SEO perspective? It seems a bit scary from an indexing standpoint if links are never consistent. Also, the flow of link juice will be inconsistent. Any thoughts?

Do "big" SEO companies remove links after termination of service?
Or worded differently: Has anyone heard of "big" SEO companies removing links after termination of service? I have a client who isn't particularly happy with the SEO he's getting from a big Aussie SEO firm, and he wants to terminate, however they've built thousands of links for him and he's a little concerned they might all get pulled. Has anyone heard of this happening, or; Do you think this is a legitimate concern? I think its physically possible to remove backlinks like this because it seems the SEO firm in question is building links by using other client's websites. I also wonder if they might have large content farm style sites where they place links for clients which might be quite easy to take down. Please discuss!
