Link Exchange - Would this work?
-
Hi - So I recently thought of linkbuilding and the right way to do it. After trying a couple of methods I realized that good and trustworthy websites are hard to find, and even those ask you for some kind of payment. So my option would be to contact foreign SEO agency - that would logically have a big portfolio of websites from a lot of different domains and establish partnerships - find solutions. Giving that we are in different countries and we operate different websites we could really make a great job without paying attention to competition on the same nieche.
This idea came to me a couple of minutes ago, and I though it would be great to ask your opinion, and who knows - maybe we can even have a partnership - especially since I believe SEOmozzers are the best
What do you think?

Hi, and thank you for your answer. I believe that from all the link building techniques this could be the fastest and safest way to build valuable links from trusted websites. I am thinking that a good decision would be to partner up with other SEO's, keep a close relationship and just do it.

Your Proposal seems just like a standard 3-4 way reciprocal strategy. If you are within related niches and do not do Homepage links, then in theory it may help you, but it all really depends.
Of course this strategy could pay of, and for some I am sure it has, but this should not be the only method in which you obtain links in my opinion.
You will need to be meticulous in your tracking of links to verify you do not leave a footprint. All in all in my opinion I am not sure the work involved will translate to a large SEO gain, so the return and risk would outweigh the benefits.
w00t!

Short - - Building links on related industry sites.

Hi and thank you for your answer. Nope - that isn't what i want to do or say. My view is the fallowing: if i would have a foreign partner we can both work together on linkbuilding - for example I could say: look, i have this great website for a 4 start world know hotel - it has natural links and continues to receive links in a natural way. I do not trust directories and I would need a good link exchange partner that could offer to trade links - 3 way maybe or 4 way - with another 4 star Hotel website, that also has quality. We could help eachother out - deeplinking - and not on trading links on the first page or on a page made for link exchange. We could both have quality links. All the websites i am in charge of have a PR 3, good authority, and represent trustworthy companies, brands or national organizations. Even though links build naturally, they still need help, especially since the competition has help - I mean that is why they hired me for.

If you go to an SEO agency which has its own network of sites it is risky,
An ethical SEO agency will do natural link building practices using some of the following methods:
-
Link prospecting (looking at competitors links) finding niche link opportunities.
-
Building great content to obtain links.
-
PR syndication to get links.
-
Video syndication to get links.
-
Building links on related industry sites.
-
Building reputation on forums to obtain links.
The list in endless!!! If an agency says to you ok we have a network of 50 sites we will add your site to them all I would not trust it.

AllTop Linking Me to Other Sites Feeds, Webmasters Reporting Lots of Broken Links
I submitted my blog to All Top awhile ago and something seems to be wrong with their feed. They're sending people to mysite.com/truth-o-meter.com/this-is-a-post. It's not just truth-o-meter either. I'm getting links that are supposed to go to all kinds of political blogs. As a result, I'm getting a ton of broken links reported on Google Webmasters. I couldn't find any real support option on alltop.com, and when I log in, there are no sites for me to manage. Instead, I resubmitted the site with the correct feed address and in the comments, I mentioned the problem. All I got was a message saying the site was rejected. I believe because I already added the site. But I'm thinking they didn't pay attention to the comments. (In fact the message may have gone through an auto-filter considering how quickly it was rejected.) Is there a way to solve this? Is this a situation in which I would use the disavow tool? If All Top continues to create bad links, how do I stop the issue once and for all? Thanks!

Link removal
We were hit by penguin and have been going through the process of removing bad links. Things were looking up but then wasa 20% jump in our bad links. They all seem to be related. There are over 100 different domains that all seem to go back to mbiz. examples include http://www.5stone.com.cn/Literature-holders-.html http://www.building-stone.com/Display-furniture.html http://www.china-tombstone.com/Display-exhibition-products-.html It looks like they have automatically gathered data from google to create these pages. I would hope that the guys at Google are clever enough to be aware of these sorts of links. But if not I need to get them removed. I have tried whois but I cant find out how to contact these guys. Has anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks

Do these strategies still work?
Hey SEOmoz members, I've been out of the SEO game for quite a while now... grew up years ago getting by with directory blasts, article marketing, social bookmarking, etc... I'm currently in the process of starting a few new campaigns. After burning the midnight oil on this site soaking up all the information I can, I realize the game has changed. It's not as simple as it used to be. So for these new campaigns, killer content, social integration, and guest blogging are going to be my main long term strategies. If I'm not mistaken, relevancy should be a key part of the link building strategy. So I guess my question is... article marketing, social bookmarking, web 2.0 creation... can these still be a viable source for high quality links? I do realize that without great content these are all dead ends. But when used correctly and in moderation, can these strategies still produce results? And if so... what are some good resources for finding high quality sites that will positively impact my campaigns? Are there any good article directories out there, or have they all been devalued? Do linkwheels still carry any weight?

Link exchange Trick?
As a lot of you people doing link building may have encountered most people we approach want a link exchange Ex: "I am willing to put a link on my site if you put one on yours." Now the question I had from this ... if I link to a specific website with rel="nofollow" and they link to me normally. Would it be of any value or because the 2 websites link to each other regardless of follow or nofollow the links have no value?

Removal of dodgy links
Examining the backlink profile of a new client I can see a large number of links developed by an offshore agency they used for link-building. The client is a reputable, professional company but some of the links are on very low-quality sites in-between viagra, online pharmacies, cosmetic surgery etc. It is unclear whether some of the links are paid or not. There is no indication that they have been penalised for these links but they are obviously unhelpful. Can I use GWT to request Google ignore them or should I just leave them and move on with more appropriate link building techniques?
