Best place to outsource backlinking services?
-
Hi, I have been doing "lite" SEO on my site for several years and have achieved some decent ranking for relevant terms. I have good solid content and and am simply in need of quality backlinks to boost my SERPs. I stopped doing SEO because I was focused on development of the site for about 6 months and lost about half of my traffic as a result.
In the past I have used rentacoder, guru, and odesk for software development, but does anyone know the best one to find decent SEO consultant/content writers?
I want to start out at about $300/month for back links and ramp up from there.
Also, The last company I hired provided almost all links from India spam sites, however, I still noticed a steady increase in rankings over a few months. Thought on thats?
Thanks!

Thanks for your insights! My challenge is that my site allows members to create private family websites, so all content they create is not indexed. I do plan on creating a public community section over the next few months that I think would be more aligned with your ideas. Leveraging my existing user base is definitely something I need to put some more thought into, so thanks for the idea!

oh yea, now that I think about it, I have used them too. Thanks for the tip (and reminder)!

Just a thought : Rather than hiring someone to do backlinking for a few $$$/month have you considered putting a few months money in to a good strategist instead?
The nature of your site is that it should be able to generate a lot of it's own links (and more importantly traffic + leads) through harnessing it's own user base. In short, if I am creating a site with information about my family then I'll want people to see it - make that easy enough and the links/social referrals should follow.
Get some of the strategy and on-site stuff right early and the effect of any links you get is massively multiplied. I'd imagine someone more interested in strategic seo could help you not only maximise organic links, but improve your structure, help you focus on the money keywords, help you convert that traffic and identify what of your content has the potential to go from good to great and draw customers in.

Elance can be pretty good but be wary of the exceptionally cheap providers and be very specific in your brief about what you want. If you are specific and you try providers out with small jobs to begin with you will find one you are very happy with.
We've had contractors that were an absolute joke and others that exceeded all expectations so it's certainly worth taking a look...

I have been curious how much traffic i would be able to drive thru social? I am assuming it's most effective to focus on traditional seo and then move to social as a secondary tactic in the future?

Looks good but have you used them? Thx!

Social isn't too bad just can be time consuming. Fresh content writers who are good and engage the users is more tricky. I have a friend I use for that and manage all my social profiles myself and few others besides. The trouble with outsourcing is managing the expectations which in itself can be a full time job, I'm lucky over time I've found good people I work with and just going into creating videos to maximise the content and information we show to our customers when they visit our sites.

Yeah, Been there got the T-shirt. It is hard to find decent people these days as there are so many spammers and "fakes" out there. Whats the site and industry? Do you do much social? Have you tried connecting with company's on twitter and asking for back links? Are you creating content much fresh content that could attract readers and links?

Best Methods and Tools for Monitoring your Website's Backlinks
Recently, I've launched two websites. I want to make sure I'm doing a good job monitoring our link building efforts. I'm see a lot of tools out there to supplement my use of Open Site Explorer. What I want to know is what tools I should be using to monitor my links? My ultimate goal would be to have the data to track the number of links I'm adding a month so that I can use it for reporting. There is another layer. Because the sites are new, OSE is actually not reporting any links found. I can only find reported links through Google Search Console. Any advice? Is this something where I will just have to wait for everything to get indexed?

Ways to remove spammy backlinks
Hello everyone, I got hit with an algorithm penalty and need to start removing old backlinks ASAP. Does anyone have any good resources on how best to ask webmasters for removal? Are there any other ways to remove bad back links besides the disavow tool? (An SEO consultant I talked to said that they had a proprietary software that can remove them - is that possible?) Thanks all,

Quotations about importance of social media and backlinks
Hi all, I'm looking to put together a presentation on SEO and I'm wondering if anyone knows any good quotes that relate to the importance of having content on your site that people want to use and share. I'm looking for something like this: “Today’s marketing success comes from self-publishing Web content that people want to share. It’s not about gimmicks. It’s not about paying an agency to interrupt others.” David Meerman Scott “The New Rules of Marketing and PR” but ideally something that illustrates in terms of numbers how much more traffic and seo benefits a site can expect from having good guides, pdfs and news stories that people want to share. Thanks so much for any helo you can offer. thanks, David
