Using an SEO Agency to build one-way links for you via link exchange
-
There are a number of SEO agencies which offer link building as part of their SEO offerings.
I believe they build one-way links to the client site, by offering another link in exchange to the liking site.
So, if the client site is "C", and link is being requested from site "A", the site "A" owner is offered a link from site "B" in return.
Is this a good and/or recommended practice?

I was just contacted by such an agency that offers free link building. They just want me to link from my nice, original, human-built site about RC boats to a site about a casino, and in return I'd get a link from an auto-generated site with little content that's about military robots that also links out to a casino.
I would rather have no link at all than that link.

This is often called 3 way linking...engines are getting better at picking up this sort of this all the time...I wouldn't do it for a site you have long term plans for. It might work, but chances are it won't stand the test of times.

The method you are describing is not one-way, it is three way link exchange.
A -> B -> C
As fair as I know one way link exchanges are A -> B. Correct me please if I am wrong.

Best Link Building technique using SEOMoz tools & Open Site Explorer
Hi, We've been with SEOMoz for a year or two now, but have have kept an eye out for productive link building tools to help the team. To be honest we're struggling with Open Site Explorer because, although it enables us to discover competitors links it doesn't provide much link management functionality. A simple example would be the ability for Open Site Explorer to show links to domains which my clients already have in a different colour, so that we don't waste time exploring dead ends. I'd be very interested to hear tips how other people use the SEOMoz tools to manage their link building as I suspect we may be missing a trick or two... Thanks in advance!

Your opinion of link building strategy
Hi all, I just started working on the optimization of highly competitive keywords on one website. I already started posting articles in reputable directories, but as you know, more quality links are needed. To do that I created the following strategy: (see the uploaded image or http://i.imgur.com/9HCiM.png) The idea is to buy new domain and build page rank to this domain by other 3,4 domains that I will buy with PR3. Those 3 domains will contain low quality text generated by spinner just to keep that PR. Then those 3 domains will give PR to the newly created website which will contain only professionally written information and sometimes will give links to me. At the end I will get high quality links. I know it's hard work, but posting PR articles will not be enough. I will continue to spy the competition via SEOMoz OSE but for now that is the idea that I have for quality links. Share your opinion 🙂 9HCiM.png
