SEO Agency Recommendations
-
I'm looking for recommendations for SEO agencies for an e-commerce site in the cell phone accessories niche. The list of companies recommended by SEO Moz are out of our budget, as we are looking to stay under $3k/month.
Looking for an agency that will focus especially on link building efforts, as there has been minimal white-hat link building implemented for the site in the past. Many of the agencies we've talked to are relying entirely too much on easy wins like directory submissions and we are looking for an agency that will be able to garner us quality links as opposed to a huge amount of mediocre links.
Any recommendations for reasonably-priced, quality SEO agencies?
Thanks!

Hey Thomas!
Thanks for the response.
We have an in-house team that focuses on on-page optimization, but of course, any agency we bring in would be encouraged to aid us in on-page optimization efforts as well. Because our focus has primarily been on on-page tasks, we are looking for more assistance in off-page efforts.
Yes, I totally agree that quality content is truly the most white-hat method of link building but as we all know, it's incredibly time consuming. That's why we've been looking for an agency that can help in that particular effort. We've shopped around for content marketing agencies as well in the past but are leaning more towards a comprehensive and all-around solid SEO agency that can provide insight on both on and off-page improvements to our site.
Thanks for the recommendation! Will definitely look into it.

can I ask why are you focusing just on link building?
Have you thought of the most white hat way of link building which is link bait making truly awesome content that people want to link to. If you give me your domain I will go over a site audit for you and tell you what would be the best fit to get you the most authority for your site hence traffic than conversion rate. I can do Guest Blogging Link Audits, Infographics, Broken Link Building local links.
Your budget honestly could get you some dodgy SEO's I would feel free to contact me and if you want a off-the-cuff recommendation for your pricing.
Try evolving SEO they are very good.
I will look at your website and give you a yes or no if that makes sense.

I used to cell sell phones through my old site, ebay and Amazon. If you are looking for a link builder, get a link building strategy first. Pay someone a couple hundred dollars to help build that for you, then go shopping around.
Also, I recommend that your link builder use software like Buzzstream for outreach. You can find a couple of agencies in the top 30 users of SeoMoz. (disclaimer: I'm one of the agencies). Some focus only on link penalty removal, some on conversions, some on link building.

Link Building is always a tough one and all you need to do is to be creative. Look at your competition for your primary and secondary keywords and see what they are doing for links. Slow and steady build your domain profile.
The problem is, unfortunately, there are no short-cuts. And just one more piece of advice, don't overdo any one particular kinds of links. A mix and match of everything adds up to become a natural link profile. That's what you need to compete in the niche. It's also a steady on-going process. FYI.
I hope this helps.

Small Business SEO Recommendations
I work for a company that manages websites for several hundred small businesses. We do a good job with on-site optimization but don't do any link building for our clients. Occasionally, clients are in desperate need of links and ask us for recommendations. I've had a tough time finding a balance between quality consultants and affordable prices. I understand that link building campaigns, in general, carry a hefty price tag, but of our clients can't afford any of the big name agencies. We've also had a few of our clients get burned recently by bad link building and I don't want to point them in the wrong direction. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies or freelance consultants that do good work without breaking the bank? Thanks! Tim

Redirecting International ccTLD affect SEO?
I've watched Rand's Whiteboard Friday video on How to Host and Where to Host for International Websites and read Gianluca's article on International SEO; however, I am still unable to find an answer or solution to this. ABC Company is a US based company with the website www.abcexample.com and plans to target people in Hong Kong. Therefore, they purchase .hk ccTLD. However, with the time restraint and budget limit, ABC Company is unable to create a completely new website under .hk ccTLD. Scenario 1: ABC Company plans to create different pages for each service offered in HK and 302 redirect .hk ccTLD blank service page to www.abcexample.com's same service page. Quesiton 1: Will this have the same benefit of creating a .hk website? Although ABC Company is redirecting, does the .hk ccTLD still tell Serach Engines that we are targeting people in Hong Kong? Will this solution harm or help with SEO with other search engines in Hong Kong? Scenario 2: ABC creates a /hk subdirectory under www.abcexample.com and have exactly same content in the same language as www.abcexample.com but use rel="alternate" hreflang="x" and use Webmaster to Geotarget Hong Kong. Question 2: By using rel="alternate" hreflang="x" and geotarget, will this avoid duplicate content if ABC Company has exact content in the /hk folder? Please let me know if my questions and scenarios are unclear. I understand that these are not best practices. Please advise the best way to work around this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Will Google ever begin penalising bad English/grammar in regards to rankings and SEO?
Considering Google seem to be on a great crusade with all their algorithm updates to raise the overall "quality" of content on the Internet, i'm a bit concerned with their seeming lack of action towards penalising sites that contain terrible English. I'm sure you've all noticed this when you attempt to do some proper research via Google and come across an article that "looks" to be what you're after, then you click through and realise it's obviously been either put together in a rush by someone not paying attention or putting much effort in, or been outsourced for cheap labour to another country whose workers aren't (close to being) native speakers. It's getting really old trying to make sense of articles that have completely incorrect grammar, entirely missing words, verb tenses that don't make any sense, randomly over-extravagant adjectives thrown in just as padding, etc. etc. No offense to all those from non-native speaking countries who are attempting to make a few bucks online, but this for me is becoming by far more of an issue in terms of "quality" of information online as opposed to some of the other search issues that are being given higher priority, and it just seems strange that Google have been so blasé about it up to this point - especially given so many of these articles and pages are nothing more than outsourced filler for cheap traffic. I understand it's probably hard to code in something so advanced, but it would go a long way towards making the web a better place in my opinion. Anyone else feeling the same way? Thoughts?

Hi Mozzers! With the shut down of the SEOMoz marketplace what are some other resources for finding people to help with SEO tasks? Craigslist seems like the best resource for this, but are there any other good ones?

How do I "link" up with USA based SEO's
After 28 long years of wait this year I finally made it to the United States of America. I grew up on "The A Team" , "Knight Rider" and Mcdonalds cheese burgers from 2 years onwards. I am as American as a English person could possibly be. It wasn't until I arrived in Florida and spent two weeks in the great country that I understood the difference in the minds and mentality of people. People were nicer ! People on the whole had a can do mentaily. If your a success people congratulate you for it . Unlike the UK.... Plus people were not scared to make a fool of themselves... (People jumping up and down at traffic lights with advertising boards) Now to my question - I loved it so much I want to go back and I figured me and my wife and 3 year old may have a extended break next time where I can work on vacation maybe over a month or so. I would love to get to know as many SEO's and people based in the USA as possible please and introduce myself etc. Hey who knows maybe SEO Moz can change my future (fingers crossed) Thanks to all the people that get in touch !
