Any e-commerce users recommend an SEO company for link building?
-
I manage an e-commerce site. I wanted to know if anyone has worked with an SEO company for link-building that they would recommend.
I DO NOT want articled directories, bookmarks, etc.. I want real link-building from credible/related sites.
If you would give me an idea of the results or the general process they use I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

Hi ! SEOmoz recommends a lot of companies and most of them are very expensive. Small companies can't afford their services. If you are tight on budget you can outsource your link building to reputed companies in India or other countries and you can afford services worth $5000 in $2000 or even less. Not all companies are good but some of them are at par with any world class SEO agency. Companies like SEO Corporation and Brainpulse has established a great reputation. SEO Corporation's own brand name has more than 40,000 searches per month!!!!It is famous for its very personalized customer care and quality of service.
Talk to them for references, results, prices etc . I hope you will find a match. Best of luck.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before but in the Community section of SEOmoz there is a Recommended Companies page. That would be a great resource to start with. Many of those guys have written awesome article and spoken at events or in webinars so you know they are good.
(note: I don't know your budget so I'm assuming you are in the same boat as me, as far as pricing goes)
I would say the budgets needed to get some of their services (talking implementation not just consulting) are going to start around $5000 a month. They are well worth it! If you are even considering a really quality company I would give them a call and they will probably have some recommended companies or freelancers that they recommend that may fit into your budget.

If you don't mind me asking, which company did you speak to that seemed like a great company? and what is your budget (ballpark)?
I just want to see if it is a company I have already contacted or if I am in the same boat as far as budget.
Thanks for the reply.

I have yet to find a good company for a price within my budget. I head up the SEO for an ecommerce site as well and am about to embark on a link building campaign. I'm excited about the recent updates in Google because I think it will allow us to stay competitive by gaining a few great links more naturally than unnatural useless links.
I know there are some incredibly creative link building companies out there, I just haven't found one that works in my small budget.

GTLD for SEO?
Hey guys Has there been any case studies or does anyone know how the gTLDs are doing in the SERPS? I never see them in the SERPS but that of course doesn't mean anything. Google is saying that they treat them the same as .com or .net. But does anyone have 'facts'? Cheers!

No cache still a good link for disavow?
Hi Yall, 2 scenarios: 1. I'm on the border line of disavowing some websites that link to me. If the page is N/A (not available) for the cache, does that mean i should disavow them? 2. What if the particular page was really good content and the webmaster just has the worse seo skills in not interlinking his old blogs, hence why the page that's linking to me is N/A for cache, should i still disavow it? Thanks

Why does expired domains still work for SEO?
Hi everyone I’ve been doing an experiment during more than 1 year to try to see if its possible to buy expired domains. I know its considered black hat, but like I said, I wanted to experiment, that is what SEO is about. What I did was to buy domains that just expired, immediately added content on a WP setup, filled it with relevant content to the expired domain and then started building links to other relevant sites from these domains.( Here is a pretty good post on how to do, and I did it in a similar way. http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2297718/How-to-Build-Links-Using-Expired-Domains ) This is nothing new and SEO:s has been doing it for along time. There is a lot of rumors around the SEO world that the domains becomes worthless after they expire. But after trying it out during more than 1 year and with about 50 different expired domains I can conclude that it DOES work, 100% of the time. Some of the domains are of course better than others, but I cannot see any signs of the expired domains or the sites i link to has been punished by Google. The sites im liking to ranks great ONLY with those links 🙂 So to the question: WHY does Google allow this? They should be able to see that a domain has been expired right? And if its expired, why dont they just “delete” all the links to that domain after the expiry date? Google is well aware of this problem so what is stopping them? Is there any one here that know how this works technically?

Feedback on link building idea
We came up with this idea at work for a client but before I initiate it I was wanting to get feedback on if this would be considered whitehat and alright to use. It is for an ecommerce site. On the order confirmation and thank you page (not email cause they are on some old system that does not send out emails) we are wanting to put a thank you for your order message and continue with a statement about how they can save money on future purchases with a link that takes them to a page with info on how to do so. That new page will have info about linking to the site from a blog or website. And will say if you link back to us and send us an email with that link as proof we will give you a promo code for your next purchase. Is this alright?

Ditching of spammy links - will it be of benefit?
Hi there. We have recently taken over the SEO for a five-star hotel who rank very well already for a lot of their main terms, largely down to the fact they have decent off-site strength (as yet very little on-page optimisation has been done, so they aren't appearing for some quite key terms). This off-page strength includes around 2000 links, giving the home page an authority of 63 in the OSE tool. However, upon looking at the links to check they were pointing to the most relevant page etc, I notice they have A LOT of spammy links, pointing to their site with anchor text like 'cheap cialis' or 'buy valium'. Clearly these aren't the kinds of links that should be pointing to a five-star hotel, but should I expect to see much of a drop by attempting to remove these links? We obviously want to clean their link portfolio up, but I'm not sure they would be too happy if all their top rankings disappeared - even if only temporarily, and even if done with the best intentions. I ask as none of the other sites we handle SEO for have had such a proliferation of these links, so I've not seen the ramifications in full. Any help would be much appreciated, along with advice on the best way to remove these links.
