Hi there,
Can you please tell me how you can tell if the websites are being indexed by Google?
Thanks for the reply!

Robert offered an outstanding reply. I will add to be especially careful of link building companies with their own networks. When you join they begin to add your site to their network. When you leave them they begin removing your links and a few months after you stop paying them you have ZERO links left and you paid for nothing. This activity is advertising, not link building. Many companies fall for this type of "link building" effort.
A true link building company will acquire relevant links to your industry. This requires a lot of unique effort whereby the link builder learns your industry and establishes connections with the authors in your niche. The links you earn this way are long lasting, relevant, provide direct traffic and are highly valued. You wont find these links in any promotional "we will be hundreds/thousands of links for your site each month" packages.

You are quite welcome. We are an SEO/SEM firm, DrumBEATMarketing, link building is a part of SEO. Not a company that advertises as a link builder.

I'd use Open Site Explorer to check their backlink profile. Check to see what kind of links they were able to generate for themselves, and then check on a few of those websites to see if they are indexed by Google.
I had a company try to sell me SEO+Link Building, but their whole link building network had been banned by Google.

Gareth,
This seems to be the question of the day. How to link, etc. By asking about link building companies, usually, people are looking for easy as opposed to quality. (I am not saying this about you, but drawing a distinction).
The main reason is that most people do not want to take the time or expend the effort required in good link building. The only other option beyond time and effort is $$$. For anyone to do a quality link building program it will cost you. So, if you are looking to pay some amount like US $ 500 or $1,000 and get quality link building, I am not aware of any who do it. I am open to seeing some though.
The other option is to go to a directory listing company that is trusted/somewhat trusted and have them list you with directories. (Not great option, but an option). Here is a list of directory sites: SEOmoz Pro Directory List, which was recently updated.
To assist you with linking and all that goes into it, here is a link to SEOmoz Professional Guide to Link Building. This will give you some perspective on why finding a quality link building company that provides a lower cost service is difficult.
We build links daily for our clients and there are days that I think we are still under charging (and we are not cheap). The reason is that it takes people to make all of this happen and good people cannot be had at a cheap rate. We have to pay good people well to do what is necessary to get the clients the quality links. We continually have to look at the clients and find new quality link sources based on what they do.
Good Luck, let us know how you work it out.

Link Building is starting to be a transition back to College. You have to write high quality content that identifies, and utilizes references. In addition to just being structurally, grammatically and intellectually sound, you also have to have it fill a niche within your market.
For example:
You notice that several university websites have an incomplete analysis of the water shed on a predominant mountain range in their area. You could collect resources online about this topic, and write a complete analysis of how it effects the people around it. You could then request links from these universities to link to your complete article. After you go through the 15-20 relevant universities you could start contacting the cities, real estate agencies and some guiding services to link to your article.
As long as you write a high quality piece of content that people will find informative and enjoyable you should generate a few links. Of course, I would suggest picking a more interesting topic, but this is just hypothetical.
That being said:
I would suggest The Interenet Marketing Ninjas (formerly We Build Pages) and Virante. Both of these companies have reputations for being great link builders, but you pay for high quality safer links.
If you aren't overly concerned with the risks, and you have a smaller budget, you could also talk to a link broker company like Text Link Brokers, who will assist you in purchasing links (which is a no-no if found). I don't mean to alarm you, Text Link Brokers is a great company that doesn't give out their client info, but it would be careless of me not to mention that there is a risk.

Link Building Techniques: Guest Blogging - Is it Okay or Not?
I was reading this page here: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356 "[...]Buying or selling links that pass PageRank. This includes exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links; exchanging goods or services for links; or sending someone a “free” product in exchange for them writing about it and including a link." So assuming you provide high quality guest posts to high quality blogs, is it okay or not to use this method as a link building technique?

I've read a ton of stuff but I just dont seem to know a way to begin. Can you offer me any advice? I've dropped 20% in traffic in the last 8 months. Hope you can help, Adam

I'm hiring a link building company - need help choosing
I asked this question before and got mixed feedback. Companies vs. Freelancers. Well I have a couple questions here. At a certain point it is definitely worth going in house, but what about the knowledge that we could gain from working with a big agency? Does that really add any value? Can I hire a freelancer and trust him as much as a big agency? or vice versa? Can I hire an agency and trust them as much as a freelancer? I have also been advised to make sure they offer competitive / site analysis as a first step, AND inform you of exactly how many links they plan to build per month, how much time they will dedicate to you and your account, expect turn around times, and light strategy details that they would likely use. Thanks for any help! TA

Has anyone had any experience and can anyone recommend a link building company who can build high quality links to specific pages of a website? Thanks!

Link Building Ideas?
Hi everyone, I am currently working on a site where people can buy mail-order bagels, i.e. the bagels are shipped via postal mail. It's a good alternative for places that have no good bagel stores nearby, especially in small, rural towns. I am about to launch a link-building campaign for the website, but am a little stuck as to where to begin. My first thought was guest posting, but it seems like the vast majority of food blog owners are very protective of their blogs and rarely, if ever, allow guest posts. I also thought about doing sponsored reviews (i.e. sending mommy bloggers free samples in exchange for a review), but that's essentially a paid link, i.e. a no-no. There are of course generic web directories, but those only get you so far, and article marketing is out of the question (too spammy). Was hoping I might be able to bounce off some ideas off of you all. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for whatever tips/ideas you might be able to share 🙂 Lukas

Link building / baiting in the Google zoo
I work for a consultancy, and in the past most of our links have been acquired by giving away privacy statements etc for websites, including a link back in the body of the document, and making it a licensing requirement that the link be kept. We're launchinga new site. We want this one to be whiter-than-white, and would appreciate some advice on the following options. Option 1: no links Remove the links from the documents, and don't require links for the use of the documents. Leave a non-linking credit in the documents. Perhaps ask nicely for links from other pages. Option 2: links on other pages Remove the links from the documents, but make it a licensing requirement that users will link to our site from another page on their site. I appreciate that most won't, but some will. Option 3: retain the links Keep the links in the document, using domain name (with and without http and www) and business name anchor text. Option 4: script the links Use scripts to generate randomized links in the documents, so that no two are the same, but with relevant linking text for the most part. We're risk-adverse with the new site, and it will pick up some links "naturally". We're therefore tending toward option 1, on the basis that it may well generate as many links as option 2. Which of these options would you choose? Are there any other options we should be considering?

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?

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.
