    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.

                      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

                      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.

                      Are links with space considered to be the same as links with %20?

                      I wonder if Google would consider those three links to be the same? http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test+page.html

                      Footer Links And Link Juice

                      I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

                      What benefit does a site with a low DA get from someone guest posting who links to a site with a high DA?

                      I'm relatively new to link building and although this may be an obvious question I can't seem to find an answer anywhere even after searching Google.

                      What are your favorite tactics for getting links to money-pages?

                      We've got content marketing and other great tactics for getting links to content pages, but what are your favorite tactics for getting links to your money pages (i.e. product pages, landing pages, devices pages, sales letters, etc.) For example: For certain sites (especially some ecommerce sites), one can get a few backlinks by doing giveaways, contests, or events Some sites can give their product to bloggers to review If you're selling an exciting product and/or a product that appeals to a passionate user base, such tactics can work great. There are some sites that such tactics won't work very well for, though. For example, if you sell a boring or highly specialized product that bloggers won't want to review or giveaway as a contest prize - such as valves used in a specific commercial application, or an expensive B2B product that you can't really giveaway. Creativity is of course important, but sometimes it can only take you so far. What are your favorite strategies for getting quality backlinks to your "money pages" especially for sites that don't fit into the "ecommerce site selling cool stuff" category?

                      Does linking to a subdomain give link juice to the main domain?

                      I have a few domains that I'm going to use for link building, will the link juice from the sub domains transfer to the main domain?
