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.

Can a feeder site link directly to the main site?
I have a client that has several coupons sites. They have about 15 different URLS all of which are [city]deals.com all of the domains have coupons lists that are relevant to that area. Other than the coupons there is not any other content on the sites. There is a Main site however, that has coupons, content, store locations, blogs, news etc... The coupons on the feeder sites are displayed differently than what is displayed on the main site. They are also categorized differently. So the question is on the feeder sites can they have the coupon link directly to the store page on the main site?

Link over-building?
Hello all. One of the first things we do for our clients is to claim their local listings, include them on a set of selected directories (8-10), and blog directories (5), if applicable. Since they will all be linked to the client site, could doing all of this at once run us into problems with unnatural link growth? Thanks! Frank

Link & Content Building
this is a tough one for me. Some of you know that the average SEO contract is fairly limited in budget.Clients in very competitive industries are fearing spending a lot on SEO. I do not think I should list the reasons for this.what do you do with limited budgets for SEO.The onsite-technical optimization is fairly easy and take much prsonal labor but it is manageable.The off-site optimization, links, content , and just getting you client out there is time and funds consuming over the scope of regular projects I know.My question is what do you do with onsite optimization really. I am sure some advice will include write great content, get it out there, guest blogging however those are not readily available and are not fitting the scope of any project.what do you think?

Link Building Services Post Penguin
Hi Can anyone suggest a link building service that is of higher quality and still works nowadays? All the private networks were deindexed and it looks like we're left only with blasting software, which i don't really like. I am doing research on link building now and i can't seem to find any service that meets the quality of BMR or other deindexed Homepage Networks. Thanks!

To hire a link building company.... or not?
I am doing a lot of the niche partnership link building but I am looking for a company to compliment some of my work in other related areas. Need some advice from the group. A couple of questions: 1. I'm looking for a company to acquire around 20-30 links per month. Not talking about easy directories or social links, but good (PR 3+) sites that are somewhat related to my business. Is that a reasonable request? 2. What should I expect to pay for this each month? 3. Any good suggestions on companies in the US. I am a small startup with a fairly limited budget, at least for now? Thanks everyone!
