What is a good average cost to acquire a link?
-
If you use a link building tactic for long enough, you can estimate the average cost for each link that is acquired through that tactic.
For instance if you typically get 10 links from an infographic that costs $1,000 to create and promote, your average cost per link is about $100.
What range do you target for your average cost per link? What average cost would you take all day long if you could scale it?

Do you know what is the effect on a site that uses another site's infographic in a story or post,
The answer depends upon the quality of the story or the post.
what is the effect on the site producing and storing the graphic?
If the site that uses the infographic is a stronger site then it will probably outrank the source of the infographic if they are optimized for the same keyword.
If the site that uses the infographic has 1000x as many visitors it will probably attract 1000x as many likes, links, tweets, etc... and thus outrank the site that produced the infographic.
No wonder little sites complain about the big brands beating them all of the time... they give away all of their content and wonder WTF happened.

I think that you will find that some infographics are better at attracting links than others and predicting which will succeed is really tough... that means you could spend a lot of money and get zero results. (Its really easy to spend a lot on content and get puny results.)
And, you will find that very few things can be done all day long every day before you hit market saturation.
Another consideration is... Google does not like infographic syndication as much as they used to... so the value of a link is a bit squishy and getting worse.

Buy domain, redirect, get all the good links (+link juice) and disavow the spammy ones?
There is a domain for sale that has a quite nice profile and a lot of good backlinks, but also quite a few spammy ones. This domain has a Spam Score of 14% acc. to Moz Link explorer, ours has only 2%. My questions: 1. The domain and the good backlinks are related to or close to our content/keywords. But we are worried whether the "spammy" ones will hurt us. Does anyone has experience with this? 2. Would it help if we disavow the spammy backlinks afterwards? And if so, how do we do that? Add new domain to search console, disavow the bad links and then redirect the entire domain to our domain or redirect the domain first and then disavow from our property? Many thanks for your help!

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

It seems my affiliate link: http://www.hrmsplugins.com?partners=21 is not being considered as a "root domain" backlink when this link is used on their website. Is there a reason for this?

Recommendations for a good outsourced link building partner
Merry Christmas everyone. You shouldn't really be reading this question on Christmas Eve but as you're here... ...I'm looking to outsource most of my link building to a good partner. Can anyone recommend a person or company that they have used in the past who has delivered good results. I have used oDesk in the past and paid peanuts and got appropriate results in return. Poor quality links that everyone else was going after and that disappeared after a few days or weeks. I am very dubious of using these automated link creation sites the web is littered with, and most of them are dodgy link farms or worse. Ideally I would provide a set of keywords each month and the partner would spend their time working on links based around these terms and the content on our site(s). Your comments, suggestions and ideas are all very welcome. Have a fun Christmas everyone Scott.
