Where do I find the best link building company?
-
Hi there,
I'm trying to find an ethical, honest, link building company.
We don't want links on shady forums, or comment spam, or any of that black hat nastyness!.
I want links, on proper sites, and I'm prepared to pay for them accordingly.
We're also more than happy to write/have written/ quality content that can be linked to.
(We already pump out about 15 x 400+ word, optimised blogs weeks)
We spend hours on the various social media sites also.
So I think the only thing we're really missing now, is decent backlinks and possibly some more long tail keywords...
Over to you guys.
- Paul.

I think that an agency's blog provides a good barometer of their quality at earning links. Are their blog articles great and do they attract links? Also, you want to check their link profile to see the quality of their backlinks. Some agencies that I would consider top-tier are Portent Interactive, Seer Interactive, and Distilled.

We have used firms overseas for seo work and they are great. The only negative working with a company not in your time zone is when you need answers quick. I really like using a seo company as more like financial advisor. We do most of the seo work but it is helpful to have someone agree or disagree with your efforts.
If you can hire someone internally and use great forums like seomoz may also be a great way of building a good seo person in house. In the long run it maybe cheaper.

A few weeks ago Susan Moskwa and Maile Ohye spoke about this exact topic and Google's response to buying links... Their Answer was "YES" you can go ahead and purchase links from many of these agencies however it will not inflate your PR nor push any Juice to your website. The reason is because Google cannot shut down these companies however they can control the link juice from those links and downgrade the authority of the link at the same time it identifies new signals making Google aware of new branches of the link buy.
Personally You really do not want to get caught up in that Mess.
Link Building is a tricky thing these days since Google Caffeine as well as other Google Updates, They are always getting smarter.

Any how, whatever will be the SEO company you will contract, be always clear about your firm will in not risk any BH or shady link building tactics.

I would say a quality PR agency with SEO knowlege, that can put you in contact with high authority sites and publishers. Linkbuilding is PR if you ask me. You hit jackpot if the agency has creatives that can think linkbait.

How to link build?
Hello all. I've been having intense conversations with an experienced SEO, who has told me that the only way to get consistent links to your website, and to build you business through the web is through blogger outreach, and then paying the bloggers to put your appropriate content on their high Page Ranking website. To me, this may well be right. But it sounds dull as anything. Any thoughts? William

Best Blog Post Length to get Links
Okay, kind of silly question but i am looking for some help interpreting an analysis done by John Doherty almost a year ago: http://moz.com/blog/what-kind-of-content-gets-links-in-2012 In the document he mentions the correlation that longer posts on average receive more links but the graphs were really hard to interpret (for me). Based on the data what is the correct size we should shoot for (most graphs were missing labels). Any one have any insight? Should i shoot for 300 words per post, higher, etc? Thanks! Kyle

Link Building Strategy Advice
Hi, I was wondering what everyone's general strategy is for link building. We're doing it all ourselves manually (i.e. not paying $5 for 100,000 links) and are using the Site Explorer tool to find links to competitors and related websites. The majority of sites are blogs and directories which ask for payment ($50 per month for example). We're obviously looking for free links as well but we're finding that pretty much every site wants something in return (cash or reciprocal link) - unless the content is amazing, why would anyone link to another site without an incentive? We're focussing heavily on content and writing articles, blogs, press releases every week but the subject matter isn't always exciting enough for someone to really want to link to it naturally. Thoughts?
