Is it worth the $325.00 to join the BBB just to get the link?
-
Trying to build as many quality links as possible. Saw a suggestion on a recent blog to join the BBB but it cost $325.00. Is it worth it?
-
Hey, I submitted a form online and someone called me within 15 min. The area code was from my home town here in SC. I wonder if they charge by location?
-
This depends on how many people work at your business. Make yourself sound broke and tell them you only have a website and no office.

Tom, I use it in the SERPS to prove credibility. https://www.google.com/search?q=ship+overseas&pws=0
You can see that I wrote about my A+ rating right in the description. My competitors are too cheap to get it and don't see the value. Go to the website and you'll see it on nearly everypage. I use BBB for credibility. Once in a while I actually see that I make a sales from someone who came via BBB so it paid itself off.
It's not just a link; it's credibility.

I agree, I have found the BBB to be a nice one to be tied to, a wonderful resource. I had no idea pricing was so high these days!
-
Hello, that's a good deal, I think is not only the link is more about the trust the BBB provides.
Can I ask you how you get this price if you don't mind? I would like to join but I don't want to pay $500
-
you don't just get a link either. You get the value that comes from those people who see "accredited" and think it makes a business more trustworthy. And you can't get an A+ rating without accreditation.
-
I have to pay $550 for BBBOnline so you're getting a steal at $325. Make sure the $325 includes the online edition (not just the print edition). I can't say whether the backlink value was worth anything, but from messages that I've read in user forums, I do know that people bought from my site because it had the BBBOnline link so the peace of mind it offers may be worth the $325 itself.
-
I say absolutely yes if you get on a page like this:
http://www.la.bbb.org/BBB-Accredited/Find/Information-Search-Retrieval-Services-3955
that page is PR5 and the links are dofollow. Try to confirm with them the page you will be placed on before paying. I may be doing this as well.
If joining allows you to use their logo as a trust factor on your site and you are in good standing then that is an additional benefit as well.

Why MOZ just index some of the links?
hello everyone i've been using moz pro for a while and found a lot of backlink oppertunites as checking my competitor's backlink profile.
Link Building | | seogod123234
i'm doing the same way as my competitors but moz does not see and index lots of them, maybe just index 10% of them. though my backlinks are commenly from sites with +80 and +90 DA like Github, Pinterest, Tripadvisor and .... and the strange point is that 10% are almost from EDU sites with high DA. i go to EDU sites and place a comment and in lots of case, MOZ index them in just 2-3 days!! with maybe just 10 links like this, my DA is incresead from 15 to 19 in less than one month! so, how does this "SEO TOOL" work?? is there anyway to force it to crawl a page?0 -
When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

Backlinks vs External Links vs Referral Links vs Outbound links

How to get rid of ezinearticles links etc?
I know the standard answer of email all the sites but, I dont like my chances of even getting any delisted..
Link Building | | Adamzzz
Have around 260 links with about 60% of them junk.
Some links are from sig links on forums that I actually legitimately post to and from real comments I have made on the web over the years. Should all of these go? Was thinking of hiring a freelancer to do this or maybe going through an online tool if anyone has any suggestions? An example is this http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Era-of-Digital-Signage&id=6236852 Edit: Well I got a reply from ezine and from goarticles! They are removing the articles, maybe its becoming a headache for them all as, Sorry, GoArticles.com is no longer accepting new article submissions or account signups. We wish this wasn't the end, but unfortunately, it is and we aren't able to continue. You can download a backup copy of all of your submissions by logging into your existing account so that you can re-use your content on your own website or other competitor sites. Thank you for being a member and we're sorry that this site will be coming to an end shortly.1 -
Do footer links pass less link juice?
One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.
