I would be more tempted by Andrew's suggestion of hiring someone, instucting them and then putting them to work rather than completely handing over control to a 3rd party - especially one based on another continent, where as many of us know, there are many dodgy link buidling and SEO outfits (there are many probably good ones too but we don't here about those).

No, there's no harm in hiring a third party to do link building - however, I tend to shy away from third party link builders because I can't confirm their tactics. I can only ask them questions to try to understand how they're adding links.
What I generally do when I'm focusing on link building is hire an intern for minimum wage, instruct them what to do, and monitor the results. That way, I know exactly how links are being built, and I can maintain the quality assurance.
It might not make sense in all situations, but rankings are too important to me to neglect quality for cost.

yeh cheers is a hard one working on the web you dont see who your working with.

There is nothing wrong with using a third party service for link building (it's the same thing as having an internal SEO do it for you, regardless of what people say). However, you need to make sure they're building WHITE HAT links. There IS a difference between a white hat authoritative link that is RELEVANT and links that are spammy. Get samples of their work and test them out on a dummy site first and see if it's XRUMER type linking or real manual links. That's my thoughts on it.

Google showing different links in SERPs
Google search results are showing my site links in both URLs, "mydomain.com" and "https://mydomain.com". However the one with https is showing a favicon, and the other one is not. So i wanna keep the https one and remove the other one. I went to GSC to submit "mydomain.com" for removal and it said that URL will be deleted in ALL of its variations.So how do i delete the "mydomain.com" links? Should i just index the ones with https again? Would that work? Someone suggested me to do 301 redirect on all pages that are being displayed twice. But i am not sure if i need to do that since i am using squarespace, and both of the links lead to the same page?

How do you check what links there are to a specific page on a site?
Hi Mozzers, I'm doing a bit of research and need your help! I'm trying to find out what specific sites link to a particular page on a website. What's the best tool to use as I checked it with Moz and it only brought back 5 links? Then I tried an free online tool and it said there were 35 links. I'm a bit confused now. What tool/s do you use to check links to a specific page?

Best way to prevent "Duplicate Content" for different links
We are working on job portal domain. As we know jobs going to be expired day by day. I will give you my question by example. Example: I have two links [mysite.com/Jobs-In-Cincinnati and mysite.com/Jobs-In-Atlanta]. Before month I had too many jobs on both the links. Jobs were expired one by one after two/three months I don't have any jobs on both the links.So I got same page content on both the links like "please refine search". Google consider these two pages as duplicate content issue. Will you please suggest which is the best way to come out from it? Thanks in advance.

Does anybody use Scrapebox?
I know that Scrapebox is mostly used more mass-spam posting and other blackhat stuff, but does anybody here use it for whitehat purposes? Is it capable of tasks that OSE isn't? Can it be used as a supplement to OSE or vice-versa? I mostly want to know if it's a tool that the experts here would recommend having.
