Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for your insights! My challenge is that my site allows members to create private family websites, so all content they create is not indexed. I do plan on creating a public community section over the next few months that I think would be more aligned with your ideas. Leveraging my existing user base is definitely something I need to put some more thought into, so thanks for the idea!

oh yea, now that I think about it, I have used them too. Thanks for the tip (and reminder)!

I have been curious how much traffic i would be able to drive thru social? I am assuming it's most effective to focus on traditional seo and then move to social as a secondary tactic in the future?

Looks good but have you used them? Thx!

Hi, I have been doing "lite" SEO on my site for several years and have achieved some decent ranking for relevant terms. I have good solid content and and am simply in need of quality backlinks to boost my SERPs. I stopped doing SEO because I was focused on development of the site for about  6 months and lost about half of my traffic as a result.

In the past I have used rentacoder, guru, and odesk for software development, but does anyone know the best one to find decent SEO consultant/content writers?

I want to start out at about $300/month for back links and ramp up from there.

Also, The last company I hired provided almost all links from India spam sites, however, I still noticed a steady increase in rankings over a few months. Thought on thats?

Thanks!
