For all newbies

I answer a LOT of questions here on SEOmoz. Don't forget that you have access to a lot of tools here like the Beginners guide to SEO http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo.
Piece of advice from me to you... if you are trying to rank higher by doing something that can be easily done (like paid links, directory submissions, article submissions, and even crappy guest blog posts, blog network for backlinks), there is a HIGH likeliness that you will unintentionally hurt your site.
Ask questions here in Q&A before doing something stupid, but 1st read the beginners guide.

Good reminder. Much like anything in life, if a SEO tactic seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Kind of funny, but I just realized I piggybacked something onto your thread, but this is a discussion after all ; )

Great reminder Francisco!
I'd also add a request to NOT piggyback a different issue to someone else's Q&A, even if you think it's tangentially related.
It's fine if you want to comment "Me too" if you're having the exact same issue, but if you spin the question off into a different direction, you're less likely to receive an answer. (If you do that, there's a good chance your question is going to be at the bottom of the thread and might not be seen if someone's already answered the question above your added question.)

Backlink builder (Professional)
If I wanted to hire a professional person to build high quality backlinks for me, where would I look? I'm asking here because I'd rather go on the recommendation of other businesses owners, than a google search. Does anyone have a person that they can recommend? It's for an insurance agency in Texas. Many thanks

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

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
