SEO Firm recommendations?
-
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a quality SEO company that focuses primarily on building links on high quality sites?
So many of the SEO firms are too slick with their sales people and content analysis and research and reports & B.S.
What I'd like is an honest company who will simply help me acquire high quality links.
Any SEO companies out there that can help???
Most SEO companies are also way too expensive. I'm looking for quality @ a value. Can anyone help?

I would also like to add that since you are talking about just "External Links", and obviously there can't be any "paid" links, you need to ensure there's a good diversification of the kinds of links you attain. There are companies out there that do Press Releases, Directory Submissions, Guest Posts and so on. If you as a client only has "links" as deliverable, it's going to be tough. And I don't think it's your best measure of success. It might make sense to hire a full time or part time person local that is either already a link builder or can be trained.
Doing too many links of the same type often leads to problems and then a few months later you might be looking for somebody trying to get rid of some of the bad links built in the process. It's always in your best interest to try and hire somebody inhouse if that makes sense and if that has not worked for you or is not making sense financially, I am not sure if an agency or a firm out there can build quality links with the kind of quality control one may need on incoming links. You know what I mean.
I hope this helps.

Quality at a value doesn't really work out, if you're looking for an agency. (The pick one: cheap, good, fast concept applies) Agencies may provide great ROI but they have a high initial cost, and we aren't sure what your budget is.
Without giving a budget and more information on the project, it's impossible for anyone to help further than sharing personal experiences. On that front, I'll share mine: consultants are generally the most cost effective. Finding them is easiest if you network among your local business chamber. A good candidate will list a few references of businesses they helped similar to yours, and make sure you follow up by calling each of the references.
Get a contract written, of course.

External Backlinks - Should I remove/disavow external blog posts done by SEO company?
Last year my company hired an SEO company to build backlinks for targeted achor text keywords. It turns out that they wrote average to below average blog posts that had content related to my business, but that were placed on odd websites, not related to my business. They did this for about one year before I fired them. Should I try to get each of those blog posts removed and then disavow them? If the external links back to my site are nofollow then it is my understanding that I don't really need to worry about them...is that accurate? Is it too risky to keep any external backlinked content alive when it is on a site that is unrelated to my business?

Does having our products on Amazon or EBay help with our SEO ranking?
We have an ecommerce web site, which ranks ok , but we are trying to build up our SEO scores. We're looking at links and were wondering if having our products listed on either Amazon or Ebay (or both) will actually help with ranking of our site? We sometimes have products listed on ebay with a reference to the higher price that the item is selling for on our main site. Thank you.

Do hyphenated searches impact SEO?
Something I recently considered was whether a hyphen in a search term would effect the results that come up. For example, Is there a difference between using 'i-phone' and 'i phone' as anchor text? Some of my search results seem similar but do show some slight differences. Can anyone shed light on the matter?

New to SEO - Best Practice Example
I am new to the SEO world and I have been using the tools SEOMoz provides. I was doing some research and happen to find this website: http://www.futuresimple.com/lead-tracking-software/ I noticed that their sitemap does not contain all of the links that are located at the bottom of the page. Also when you click one of the page on the bottom that you are taken to a landing page and it forces you to their software page. Community feedback - do you think this is a good techique to do something like this or can you please provide me a some other good examples for a niche/smaller website? Thank you. Denny

Hi, i am just wondering if anyone does any seo or anything with their twitter page to gain more followers. I have justover 19,000 followers and since launching the twitter account we are getting about 500 followers per week and i am just wondering if there is anything we should do to improve this. I am not sure if we should be putting keywords into our twitter page or anything else to let people know about our twitter page. any advice would be great. also, when we set up our twitter page we decided to use the following twitter name @2celebritynews just wondering if you are allowed to change this at any stage as we should really have got the twitter page of @in2town if it is not possible to change it then maybe we will need to start over again

Is there a way to leverage paid advertisements placed in industry specific publications to get SEO benefits?
Is there a way to leverage paid advertisements placed in industry specific publications to get SEO benefits? I am looking to advertise in publications like trade journals or magazines, but want to also reap SEO benefits by getting a link. So I am avoiding buying banner ads, but instead trying to find opportunities for links from editorial mentions, quality article or editorial submissions, etc. Advice on the link proposition, or best way to approach editors, please? Many of these publications are traditional print publications, and their sites are really seo'd. Thanks.
