Is building a Link Network from scratch a good idea?
-
My SEO agency are suggesting that they will build a Link network from scratch by buying domains and building blog sites on them. All sites that link to my site would in theory be 'clean' and as we build up their authority we increase the value of the links to my site. One of the upsides is taht we would have complete control of all the links. This does sound a bit spammy but in theory could it work?
Any input is much appreciated.Regards
John

ok looks like a bad idea to create a nink network.
Thanks for the input guys.

I wouldn't really recommend you ever build a link network, but there is plenty of precedent for successful content networks. (e.g., buzzfeed, gawker, etc, etc.)
If you're doing it for the links, then give it up already because it's going to be terrible content and you're not going to be able to "build authority" as much as you think. The result will probably be you'll have 6 junky blogs that all get de-indexed in the course of a few months.
If you're actually interested in putting good content on them and building useful websites (and let the links land where they may) then it might actually be fruitful.

John/Thomas are 100% correct. If it's not natural, it's spammy and Google is getting quite good at recognizing this. Even if it not recognized today, it will be in the near future. Small decisions today can lead to big trouble tomorrow. STAY AWAY!

John,
I agree 100% with Chris do not under any circumstances build a link network. You are much better off not messing with Google's temper. Essentially if you were to do that even with the best intentions you would be waiting for it to be destroyed by Google rather it's immediately or if it is in the far future it will fail.
Do not do this under any circumstances I hope this is of some help,
Thomas

Hi Chris,
Thanks for that.

Sounds spammy because it is spammy.
Short answer no
In the short term it could work but in the long term you would be fighting google, it makes more sense to run a singular blog and increase authority on one blog (especially if its a niche) and if it goes really well you can set up more however creating multiple of the purpose of gaining links will end badly and make your site look spammy in the eyes of google. You need your site to have natural links for different sources if it has loads of blogs pointed to it it won't look so great.
Google is always tweaking its algorithm and has already shown a distaste for guest posting so think carefully about the longevity and effort it would require.
May want to rethink your strategy if you ask me.

Better link building is hardest to achieve in 2014
In a simple words. My site has good quality content not copies 100% original. Have good social points more then 500 or twitter, fb, g+ (200) and now what to do with ranking. should i start linking, but where, please don't refer me any-page. As my thinking all old link building method are now died, like comment, rss, classifieds, footer links, directories. etc At this time i am thinking the powerful link building is hard to achieve in whole process of seo. Now any one tell me where do i start, linking to my site .....? (I also research on competitors but there links are all from contextual and linking domain sites DA is more then 70, and i can't even able to get one link by scraping more then 200 sites.) Thanks .

Are PR releases good for Link Building?
I'm having a bit of a conundrum with Press Releases: I recently sent a press release on PRWeb (which I personally think is just "average" compared to others as it focuses mainly on the CBS network and is not focused at all unless you pay for an expensive release) and got over 100 incoming links from high PR news sites (according to Webmaster Tools) but these links had PRWeb in subtitle, so for all I know these were syndicated releases and not "Pick up By" as PRWeb reports. Will this affect Page Rank value or rankings for any keywords? Are these links treated only as temporary links or permanent back links? (I know sometimes they appear in Google News or Yahoo News, but disappear the next day) Was it valuable to the company? Our business is in health sector exclusively on East Coast U.S. and the release was seen all over the world and not one of the links coming back was from a health-related section. They were high rank online sites, but is there value in such links? added 11/30: I was reviewing competitors' link backs I found they did a lot of press releases and gained a high-level link back from each one. These were the best/highest-authority links they had. The syndicated releases were not even listed anywhere. And then I reviewed their SERPs... and guess what, their ranks increased with each one. (So I don't think "duplication" is an issue. If anything only the syndicated copies were penalized, but not the original one)

Links I am not Building?
Hi All, I check webmaster multiple times on a daily basis, and I noticed some links that I have not worked on and look a bit spammy, is it possible for people to purposely pont bad links in my direction? If that is the case is there a way for me to remove them myself? Also the number of total backlinks are very different in Webmaster and my Open Site Explorer, is this normal? Thanks again !

A few questions about link building?
1. Is it worth gaining more then 1 link on a website when link building, for example if I did a guest post on a blog, is it worth doing another guest post on the same blog linking to the same website? So 2 guest posts on 2 blogs, or 4 guest posts on 4 blogs? 2. When building links through guest blogging, you have two options, a link in the byline and a link in the content. Will a link in the content have more benefit then in the byline as its surrounded by relevant content? 3. Does having a link higher up the page have more benefit then one lower down?

Link Building in non-competitive industry
Hello, My client's home page is targething 2 keywords - one at 43% difficulty (SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty Tool) and one at 50% difficulty. I want to link build for this person, but I analyzed the top 5 competitors and there is no resource section on any of the sites. We want to write 20 articles for our site. So there's no people linking to content that I can find. This messes up my link building because I always make targeted content on the subject that people are already linking to How do I link build in this case. Nothing stands out as something I could do with my site for link bait. Thanks!
