Link building timescale and results in serps
-
From starting an ongoing monthly link building campaign how long is it before you should start seeing results in serps
-
Thanks for that info...
Assuming that your competitor is sitting on his butt doing nothing.... then you should have him beaten in six months or so - maybe sooner. From my experience good links take effect quickly. I have seen my pages move up in rankings within a few days after getting a really good link.
Good luck.

Thanks I understand
let’s assume my competitors have about 150 links better than i have at the moment.
I am building links mostly of the same quality or above that of my competitors at a rate of about 40 per month along with 50 or so lesser quality links like directory submissions etc. per month.
-
That depends upon....
- how many links you are building
- the quality of the links
- who you are competing against
Some SERPs require nothing more than page optimization... others have strong, well established competitors with millions of links.
To move up you have to be building more links / higher quality links than the people above you. There are markets where you could build a lot of links every month and see lots of sites passing you.

Domain extensions and link building
Hi, If you were trying to rank your website for a search term in Google UK, would it be more beneficial to build links from .co.uk websites then any other? I have read on Hubspot if your targeting UK rankings then link building from .co.uk domains will have a good impact on UK rankings? Thanks

Outsourced Link Building
Hello, I'm pretty sure everyone will just tell me to do the link building myself, but the truth is I don't have time. I've looked at link building firms in the past (and even used one), and they were all pretty dodgy. What should I look for in a quality link builder? What costs do you think are reasonable for a quality link? Is there anything you wish you'd known before going down a similar path? Thanks in advance for any help!

Have SEOmoz members ever considered joining forces with link-building?
I really hope this isn't interpreted as gray hat or spammy, so please let me know if it is! I'm just always racking my brain to try to come up with creative link-building strategies. Since we're all SEOs who are presumably doing some form of link-building, what if we got together and examined one anothers' sites, to find opportunities for links? I'm sure that still doesn't make sense, so I'll try to clarify. OK, I've been seeing an in-house guy around here that works for a place that sells coat hangers. What if I had an existing blog post that mentioned coat hangers, allowing me to make that phrase a link to this site? LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I'M NOT SUGGESTING A FREE-FOR-ALL OF POINTLESS LINKS! I'm only suggesting this to be done in instances where it makes sense and makes copy more informative! I know a lot of kinks would have to be worked out (like making sure people are giving and not just taking) but I wanted to throw the general idea out there first to see if it's even a good idea.
