Two link building proposals, which one is better?
-
Hi there,
Our site has a DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links. We haven't done any offsite SEO before, we got to where we are today organically. We're thinking about hiring a link building firm to help increase our rankings and we've received two proposals.
-
Firm A offered to build us 30 links from DA 50+ sites over 3 months. The anchor text will most likely just be our domain name.
-
Firm B offered to build us 90 links from PR2+ sites over 3 months. They have control over the anchor text.
Given our site's profile, which proposal makes more sense for us? Would either of these initiatives move the needle for us?
Thanks.

Both sound risky. Either way you could end up with a lot of low quality links. If your as large as you are, I would hire a firm to work on content you can market organicaly and presurve your natural looking profile with all the unnatural links warnings going around.

will agree with EGOL... doing something that is in benefit of your audience and market it properly will help you get more links in less time...
Offer free (lame give away but as i didnt have one i always recommend this...) ipad for instance against a quiz or something and you will get links and words from the bloggers in your industry and may be some participants and winners might also link to you...
in short... Building Relationship is Building Links...

If I had DA of 73, MozRank 5.40, MozTrust 5.88, and over 45,000 external links..... my thought would be... what will a cheap link package do to help?
I would spend some time doing something for the site that visitors will enjoy. I think that you will get more impact from that.

Haha, why wouldn't these work?
-
I would spend the money on beer.

I have to agree with Kane! Proposals that offer specific number of links they will build of certain quality in a certain period of time sounds lousy to me! But all you have to do is to select 1 then Proposal 1 is better in that case…
IMO! Ideally, there should be a least number of links they should offer over a period of time but when you go for link baiting stuff that includes infographics, quizzes, whitepaper and more… building 30 to 40+ quality links from different quality areas are fairly possible over the period of 45 days…
-
With all the penalties happening to everybody, I would go the low-risk way. ESPECIALLY if your site is already profitable.
-
Firms guaranteeing specific numbers of links from specific quality sites generally set off a red flag for me. Those are both hard things to guarantee.
All things held equal, Firm A is probably offering better quality links. That said, 30 links from DA 50+ isn't very hard to get - they can do that by filling out a bunch of Internet Yellow Page listings. Do they give you any other information on how they're building the links?
I hope Firm B isn't asking you to pay more than $100 a month...

Link building for eCommerce
I have an engraving site where I am looking to increase traffic/ sales. We do local engraving services and sell engraved products via eCommerce. Perfectindesign.com It seems to me that locally I can't compete since most search terms are washed over with every local directory in and around the city that are selling there memberships. So I thought I could compete nationally via the 200 products we carry. I have used site explorer to go through my competitors links. My findings show that other then their twitter accounts and dmoz listing most everything else are paid links and lots of them. Keeping in mind I have 45 root domains with 411 links to my site. Three competitors links data. I probably shouldn't name them right? competitor #1 1k root with 13.9k links competitor # 2 147 root with 16k links competitor # 3 427 root with 28k Should I just start buying these links that range from $10-50 per link or is this a waste of time? Are these truly my competitors or am I comparing my tiny site to the major leagues?
