Best SEO Link Building Company (textlinkbrokers.com or thinkbigsites.com) ?
-
We are looking into outsourcing the bulk of our link building.
And, so far, I am looking at two different SEO Agencies.
textlinkbrokers.com and thinkbigsites.com
Has anyone had any experience in working with either of these companies?
Has anyone had any great results with a different SEO Link Building Company?
Thanks!

Thanks for trying us out Nat. Drop me a line sometime (jarrod@textlinkbrokers.com) and let me know how everything is going. We are always looking for feedback.
Best,

I have been a professional SEO for 13 Years. I have ALWAYS wanted to work with textlinkbrokers but never had the budget. Now that I do, as of last week, I called them immediately and am about to begin a 3k per month campaign. Very much looking forward to working with some real pros.

Hey gang - sorry for my delay. As Keri noted; been a tough few days for me on the personal/family front.
Re: link building. My understanding is that Jarrod/TLB offer both the classic paid link services (at least I think they still do, not sure), which I'd be generally against and more white-hat style link outreach/content-marketing type link building, which I'd generally support. The former can be effective short-term, but can have dangerous results in the long run (Penguin's only the most recent example). The latter is usually of strong, lasting value, not just as a way to boost SEO, but as a way to help many inbound channels (referring link traffic, social media, branding, PR, etc).
Cheers,

Rand, if you do end up reading/replying to this, my apologies for evoking your name. I imagine that, with everything going on, you have better things to do then to defend our honor in a Q/A post :). If you do happen to respond though, thanks!

If you take a peek at Rand's twitter stream, you'll see that yesterday was a rather eventful day for him and it make take a few days before he has a few days to come into Q&A.

Glad to hear it. We have worked hard over the past couple of years to expand, and further improve our offerings. Thanks for checking us out.

HI Jarrod.
We have worked with TLB in the past (2 years ago) and it provided results.
With all the new Search Engine Updates, I wanted to be thorough in my search.
I already have a custom TLB Proposal from Josh B.
Thanks.

I will love to see Rand replying to this.:)

Greetings Full Spectrum,
I am one of the owners at TextLinkBrokers.
We would love to work with you.
In regards to our reputation I would point out the following:
- We have been doing link building for 10 years now
- A+ rated with the BBB. Which I believe is pretty amazing considering we have serviced over 30,000 clients and because of the nature of the business we are in.
- We are honest and transparent with everything we do.
- We have a larger lineup of link building services than any other company I know. If you have no risk tolerance and want to focus only on a link bait, link begging, and other types of content based link building, we can do that. Infographics? we do lots of those too.
- Yes we also do other types of link building that pure white hat SEO types may shy away from. Guest posting seems to be pretty popular with those types however, and we do more guest posting on higher quality sites than any other company I know of.
- If you have a bit more aggressive appetite we offer a ton of other very effective link building services and we have the experience to know how to do it without triggering over optimization and unnatural link filters.
- We also offer a full suite of other non link building services including Social Media Management, which goes really well with our content marketing programs.
PM me or send an email to jarrod@textlinkbrokers.com if you have any other questions. I have personally known Rand for a long time, and while he does not support the paid linking side of things he does recognize that we cater to all types.
Here is a testimonial from him:
"I've known Jarrod & the TLB crew for a long time. They've always had a great business that's provided value to their clients and partners." Rand
I'm not a huge fan of name dropping but this is Rand's site so...

Like Cornell said, there are much better ways to invest that monthly budget. You should look for a company that will work with your goals and create a strategy around getting your terms ranked.
There are many ways to earn links that will get quality traffic to your site.

This is something we can help you with, if you're interested, send me a message!

I know about penguin and panda.
So does textlinkbrokers and thinkbig.
textlinkbrokers worked in the past but I feel like thinkbigsites is more reputable.
"If you have $1800 to spend on SEO each month I think you can use them in better ways."
Any suggestions?
Because that's what I am looking for.
Thanks!

Hello,
http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/sell-links.html is in buying / selling links so that is a NO! NO! NO!
http://www.thinkbigsites.com/seo-seo-packages.html play the video (min 1:05) and they'll say "we own a big network of blogs and social bookmarking profiles" ... That's again a NO! NO! NO!
I suggest you read some blogs about the penguin and panda update ... just google it.
If you have $1800 to spend on SEO each month I think you can use them in better ways.

Setting up a separate site for link building
We are jump starting a link building campaign for a personal injury law firm. We're planning on doing things right with earning links to content people will actually want to share, sponsoring local events, etc. We're a little worried that some good opportunities could be missed due to the fact some people have assumptions about personal injury lawyers and would be hesitant to link to us simply because of our injury, regardless of what we're trying to share/promote. One solution we're considering is creating a foundation associated with the firm that supports relevant causes and provides the public with educational resources. That might get over our branding hurdle a bit. We've also discussed setting up a separate site for the foundation and actually building links to it rather than our main site, then linking the foundation site to our main site. The hope would be that we could get more links to the foundation site and it would in turn pass on link juice to our main site. My concern is whether this strategy makes any sense. We'd be putting good content on this foundation site rather than our main site. How much link juice would actually be passed on to our main site in this case? Would so much be lost that it would negate the whole purpose?

Link Building
I noticed another SEO builds backlinks (tons) on a social media profile that then has a link to his client's site. Another site he builds backlinks are a bitly account that 301's to the clients account. Why would you do this? Is it that you can build links indiscriminately to build a page up in PR to 3-4-5 PR, then pass that higher PR to your site (safe). Is that PR building method better than placing 100's of smaller PR links on your site? It seems logical that if you passed in a tremendous amount of juice to juice a site up to PR4, you won't make your main site PR4 by JUST that link. You would need to build a lot of PR4 sites to make your site PR4. Why not just put all the backlinks on the main page instead of building up secondary social profiles etc... Please reveal this secret. I know a lot of SEOs are using this method. Help 🙂

I'm hiring a link building company - need help choosing
I asked this question before and got mixed feedback. Companies vs. Freelancers. Well I have a couple questions here. At a certain point it is definitely worth going in house, but what about the knowledge that we could gain from working with a big agency? Does that really add any value? Can I hire a freelancer and trust him as much as a big agency? or vice versa? Can I hire an agency and trust them as much as a freelancer? I have also been advised to make sure they offer competitive / site analysis as a first step, AND inform you of exactly how many links they plan to build per month, how much time they will dedicate to you and your account, expect turn around times, and light strategy details that they would likely use. Thanks for any help! TA

Best practice links
If I am building links from someone with a site that agrees to link to my site and they will give me more than one link should I link to two sites or just two different pages on one of my sites?

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?

Build links through blogging?
Although my site is a wordpress site it presently has about as many static pages as blog posts. The site has a lot of directory links and is doing pretty good with a PR3 after about a year. When I first put the site up I had a well known blogging expert help me with the permalinks and a couple of other things and he said that with a blog there is no need to build links, it can all be done through natural link acquisition off of the blog posts. I was skeptical at the time because it seemed that a lawyer's site was something not a lot of people would be interested enough in to link to it. Now I am thinking about trying his stragegy, as 1 of my blog posts that I put up on a very topical subject immediately got about 15 backlinks. My questions are: Is it reasonable to try to build links just by posting frequent topical blog posts? If yes, should I have links in the blog posts to my home page, to internal pages, or both? \ Paul

Building a link building team
I just joined SEOmoz and I have enjoyed all the information. I currently outsource link building to an agency that charges $50 per link. For this, they handle the anchor text creation, the surrounding text and solicitation, acquisition and monitoring. I know they send the actual work to their independent contractors. How do you find those independent contractors so that I can build my own network of contractors and save the client money?
