Link building timescale and results in serps
-
From starting an ongoing monthly link building campaign how long is it before you should start seeing results in serps
-
Thanks for that info...
Assuming that your competitor is sitting on his butt doing nothing.... then you should have him beaten in six months or so - maybe sooner. From my experience good links take effect quickly. I have seen my pages move up in rankings within a few days after getting a really good link.
Good luck.

Thanks I understand
let’s assume my competitors have about 150 links better than i have at the moment.
I am building links mostly of the same quality or above that of my competitors at a rate of about 40 per month along with 50 or so lesser quality links like directory submissions etc. per month.
-
That depends upon....
- how many links you are building
- the quality of the links
- who you are competing against
Some SERPs require nothing more than page optimization... others have strong, well established competitors with millions of links.
To move up you have to be building more links / higher quality links than the people above you. There are markets where you could build a lot of links every month and see lots of sites passing you.

Does this link building actually work?
Doing a small SEO project for a local dermatologist and when reviewing competitor link profiles I found one site that was earning a TON of links from other doctors throughout the country. From what I can tell, it looks like this web development company builds medical practice sites, then puts a page on each site that links to all other practices they created site for. Does this actually work? What would the name of this be? Recipricol links? Link farm? http://www.raleighsportsmed.com/ypo-showcase.php Thanks! Ricky

Strange new links being picked up in Webmaster tools affecting SERPs
Hi, I have a question regarding new links being found by Google, and showing in our latest links file from Webmaster tools. I run this site: http://www.propertysales.com it's a fairly new website with a small (ish) link profile but over the last 3 months I've seen a lot of links being found in Google like this: http://www.financecourier.com/news/story/523316/foreign-carmakers-milk-chinas-cash-cow/full_story.html it's clearly a scrap of a webpage from the FT.com, who we partner with, that has a link to PropertySales.com but the number of links Webmaster tools is seeing is much bigger than we would normally get in any given month. As a rule I would normally ignore scrapper sites as I’ve always assumed Google is smart enough to know which site these are and thus wouldn't affect your SERPs but I’ve also seen a drop in our SERPs over the same month so now I’m thinking these are effecting the sites SEO. Does anybody have any insight into this or advice on the best way to handle this, I looking at going through these site and adding them to our disavow file but this can take a few month to take effect so are they any better options or way to handle this? Thanks for your help in advance. Rufus

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.
