Supplementary outsourced link building
-
Can anyone recommend an outsourced link building service they have used with success in addition to their own higher effort link building?
(I'm not talking about 1,000 automated directory link submission services.)
Thanks.

Concentrate on getting some unique and high quality content into your site rather than link building at this stage - remember even with link building, you need content for other website owners to want to link back to. Otherwise, the best you can expect are a few non-target website links or no-follow blog posts.
Combat the content first

Its not all that bad Thomas! Charles maybe re evaluate what you want here. Ive seen linkbuilding work but in many cases provide no value.
You can make external linkbuilders give a shit by incentivising them based on sales, but you often end up in a more complicated system than you wanted in the first place!
If I had the money for outsourced linkbuilding, I would be putting it directly into scalable linkbuilding like widgets and badges, or on Viral content.
That means your money goes to developers and designers, not spam and it means your money works for you 24-7
1 of these on your website http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-biggest-lies-in-online-dating/ will do more for you than years of outsourced linkbuilding ever will

Oh by the way - there is a similar question here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/link-building-companies-for-super-hard-niches. You might want to try some of the companies.

Interesting question. I have tried several top SEO companies for link building. And none of them have really delivered anything. As Tom Critchlow usually says, the problem is "you can't outsource giving a shit."
What usually happens is this:
-
You pay premium for a reputable SEO company
-
They pass you on to a junior level SEO to do the link building
-
They send a monthly report with all sort of on site metrics and keyword tracking you probably don't need
-
They send a list of links- Turns out that the links are sidebar links from irrelevant websites (or worse) with way optimized anchor text.
Sorry about being so pessimistic on this one. But after trying multiple reputable companies, I have given up on outsourcing link building. The risk of receiving low-value-for-money or a penalty is too high for me.

What are your link-building strategies?
Link-building seems to be the biggest SEO item that still remains foggy to me. I was wondering what this community's thoughts and strategies are around in for your own personal projects. I think if I can hear some real life success stories, it might make more sense to me in the long run. Anything, good or bad, is welcome!

Link building need help
I've been doing link building for the past 2 months for a website. I've put together some blog posts and submitted them to some sites. However, I don't want to repeat the content on other sites or use the same sites again for links. The problem with this company is that nothing is happening. The last press release they issued was in 2010 and in the 4 months I've been working for them nothing has happened. I have found a few good quality websites in our niche which I could approach for links, but I want to have good content to put on them. Does anyone have any ideas as how to create content that would be suitable, bearing in mind this a B2B company.

Links Building from contractors on eLance.com
Hi, I never hire somebody to create link building to point to our sites. On eLance.com you can hire a SEO contractor to build link our your domaine. New to SEO, is worth it to do so? Is there things I should should be careful about? Things I need to clarify before hiring somebody? Things I need to confirm or ask before hiring such contractors? Most of those ''SEO Expert'' are from India and some have perfect ratings on this site. I have 2 eCommerce sites and we only have a average of 3 sales a day. I can't afford price companies are asking in North America. For a lot less, eLance maybe the solution for our home base business. What is your advice on this? Thank you BigBlaze

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?

Can anyone recommend a great link building firm?
I'm looking for a reputable firm that builds high quality links to a high quality site. These links should be located on a page with high Page Rank/Page Authority and should also have high quality links pointing to the page. I am not looking for forum posts/blog comments or directory listings. Can anyone recommend a firm that they use personally who specializes in this? I've had a look through the SEOMoz directory, which is great, but if anyone could provide some recommendations to go along with that, it would be appreciated! Thanks.
