Best place to outsource backlinking services?
-
Hi, I have been doing "lite" SEO on my site for several years and have achieved some decent ranking for relevant terms. I have good solid content and and am simply in need of quality backlinks to boost my SERPs. I stopped doing SEO because I was focused on development of the site for about 6 months and lost about half of my traffic as a result.
In the past I have used rentacoder, guru, and odesk for software development, but does anyone know the best one to find decent SEO consultant/content writers?
I want to start out at about $300/month for back links and ramp up from there.
Also, The last company I hired provided almost all links from India spam sites, however, I still noticed a steady increase in rankings over a few months. Thought on thats?
Thanks!

Thanks for your insights! My challenge is that my site allows members to create private family websites, so all content they create is not indexed. I do plan on creating a public community section over the next few months that I think would be more aligned with your ideas. Leveraging my existing user base is definitely something I need to put some more thought into, so thanks for the idea!

oh yea, now that I think about it, I have used them too. Thanks for the tip (and reminder)!

Just a thought : Rather than hiring someone to do backlinking for a few $$$/month have you considered putting a few months money in to a good strategist instead?
The nature of your site is that it should be able to generate a lot of it's own links (and more importantly traffic + leads) through harnessing it's own user base. In short, if I am creating a site with information about my family then I'll want people to see it - make that easy enough and the links/social referrals should follow.
Get some of the strategy and on-site stuff right early and the effect of any links you get is massively multiplied. I'd imagine someone more interested in strategic seo could help you not only maximise organic links, but improve your structure, help you focus on the money keywords, help you convert that traffic and identify what of your content has the potential to go from good to great and draw customers in.

Elance can be pretty good but be wary of the exceptionally cheap providers and be very specific in your brief about what you want. If you are specific and you try providers out with small jobs to begin with you will find one you are very happy with.
We've had contractors that were an absolute joke and others that exceeded all expectations so it's certainly worth taking a look...

I have been curious how much traffic i would be able to drive thru social? I am assuming it's most effective to focus on traditional seo and then move to social as a secondary tactic in the future?

Looks good but have you used them? Thx!

Social isn't too bad just can be time consuming. Fresh content writers who are good and engage the users is more tricky. I have a friend I use for that and manage all my social profiles myself and few others besides. The trouble with outsourcing is managing the expectations which in itself can be a full time job, I'm lucky over time I've found good people I work with and just going into creating videos to maximise the content and information we show to our customers when they visit our sites.

Yeah, Been there got the T-shirt. It is hard to find decent people these days as there are so many spammers and "fakes" out there. Whats the site and industry? Do you do much social? Have you tried connecting with company's on twitter and asking for back links? Are you creating content much fresh content that could attract readers and links?

Backlinks not indexed on MOZ
Why our backlinks do not show up? Even GSC shows a good amount of our backlinks and other applications show too. But in the case of MOZ, it still shows 0 backlinks and 0 organic visibility. Don't you guys think this puts a user of your software way behind in terms of competition and real data? If my backlinks will be considered by MOZ, when will it be❓

Backlinks embedded in posts or backlinks in sidebar?
What's better? A backlink to my site, embedded into a blog post/article? Or a hardlink in the sidebar? The problem with links embedded inside articles, is that when the blog linking to me, gets updated, the articles disappear from first page and I lose the link from home page. How do you deal with this? I also read this: "The best link you can get is from a site ranking #1 for the keyword you want to rank for. It would be great to have the #1 site for a desired keyword linking me even if they are a PR 0 site." Is this right? Thx in advance.

Are there any services similar to pingler.com
Hi, i always used pingler.com to drive traffic to my sites but for some reason in the past couple of weeks i cannot get onto the site, i think there could be something wrong with my ip address, not sure. I have spoken to virgin nearly everyday and all i get off them is to turn off my internet for one week to get a new ip address and see if that works, now there is no way i can turn the internet off for one week. So i am now trying to find another service as good as pingler.com as i cannot see anyway of getting this problem sorted unless if someone has any ideas. I would like to know if anyone uses services that offers what pingler.com offers and if they could please list them here many thanks

Backlinking post penguin
Does anyone have any effective strategies about how to backlink for a new website. I'm just really cautious of this new penguin update and don't want to submit to too many directories or do anything that will get penalised, seen as the website is new.
