      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.

                        How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?

                        I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company.  I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO.  How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

                        What is a good ratio of total links to linking root domains?

                        Is 100 total links for every linking domain too high? I suppose I could also look at ratios of sites that are doing well in the rankings.

                        Reciprocal links

                        Are they worth anything, if they are from relevant sites?  I'm I better off avoiding linking back wherever possible?

                        A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link

                        Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

                        Link Detox and Link Removal

                        I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                        I remember hearing in one of the link building webinars that if you hold a patent then you could get a link from that somehow.

                        Any examples or suggestions as to how this is done?

                        I understand that good link building is all about the quality of the link / the anchor text attached to it. But, what about frequency? Should I build until I can't build anymore? or create a plan to submit links to a certain # of sites per week/month?
