Any e-commerce users recommend an SEO company for link building?
-
I manage an e-commerce site. I wanted to know if anyone has worked with an SEO company for link-building that they would recommend.
I DO NOT want articled directories, bookmarks, etc.. I want real link-building from credible/related sites.
If you would give me an idea of the results or the general process they use I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

Hi ! SEOmoz recommends a lot of companies and most of them are very expensive. Small companies can't afford their services. If you are tight on budget you can outsource your link building to reputed companies in India or other countries and you can afford services worth $5000 in $2000 or even less. Not all companies are good but some of them are at par with any world class SEO agency. Companies like SEO Corporation and Brainpulse has established a great reputation. SEO Corporation's own brand name has more than 40,000 searches per month!!!!It is famous for its very personalized customer care and quality of service.
Talk to them for references, results, prices etc . I hope you will find a match. Best of luck.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before but in the Community section of SEOmoz there is a Recommended Companies page. That would be a great resource to start with. Many of those guys have written awesome article and spoken at events or in webinars so you know they are good.
(note: I don't know your budget so I'm assuming you are in the same boat as me, as far as pricing goes)
I would say the budgets needed to get some of their services (talking implementation not just consulting) are going to start around $5000 a month. They are well worth it! If you are even considering a really quality company I would give them a call and they will probably have some recommended companies or freelancers that they recommend that may fit into your budget.

If you don't mind me asking, which company did you speak to that seemed like a great company? and what is your budget (ballpark)?
I just want to see if it is a company I have already contacted or if I am in the same boat as far as budget.
Thanks for the reply.

I have yet to find a good company for a price within my budget. I head up the SEO for an ecommerce site as well and am about to embark on a link building campaign. I'm excited about the recent updates in Google because I think it will allow us to stay competitive by gaining a few great links more naturally than unnatural useless links.
I know there are some incredibly creative link building companies out there, I just haven't found one that works in my small budget.

Back links issue and how to resolve it
Hi there! We have a client who has been generating back links from external sites over a period of two years with all the same anchor text which all link back to the home page. This anchor text is also their main search phrase they wish to score highly on. In total, they have roughly 300 domain names linking to their site. Over 50 of these domain names all have the same anchor text. These links have been generated through articles and blogs. So roughly 20% of the total number of links all have the same anchor text. Over the past 6 months the client has noticed a steady drop in their rankings for this term. From the back link analysis we have done, we believe it is this which is causing the problem. Does any one else agree? For the remedy, do we go in and see if we can change the anchor text or disavow them through Google webmaster tools? Suggestions? Thanks for your help! P 🙂

Should I disavow links to a dead sub domain?
I'm analyzing a client's website today and I found that they have over 300 spammy sites linking to a subdomain of their main site. So for example, say their site is clientsite.com, well they have hundreds of links pointing to deadsite.clientsite.com. That subdomain was used at one time as a staging site, and is no longer active. Are those hundreds of spammy sites hurting or potentially hurting my client's SEO? Or is it a non-issue because the links point to a dead subdomain? We believe that that staging sub domain site was hacked at one time, and thats where all those spammy links came from. Should I disavow them?

Do dead/inactive links matter?
In cleaning up the backlink profile for my parent's website, I've come across quite a few dead links. For instance, the links in the comments here: http://www.islanddefjam.com/artist/news_single.aspx?nid=4726&artistID=7290 Do I need to worry about these links? I assume if the links are no longer active, and hence not showing up in webmaster or moz reports, I can probably ignore them, but I'm wondering if I should try and get them removed regardless? I've read that google is increasingly taking into account references (i.e. website mentions that are not links) and I don't know if inactive spam links might leave a bad impression of a website. Am I being overly paranoid? I imagine disavowing them would be pointless as you can't attach a nofollow tag to an inactive link.

Why should I reach out to webmasters before disavowing links?
Almost all the blogs, and Google themselves, tell us to reach out to webmasters and request the offending links be removed before using Google's Disavow tool. None of the blogs, nor Google, suggest why you "must" do this, it's time consuming and many webmasters don't care and don't act. Why is this a "required" thing to do?

Is horizontal hashtag linking between 4 different information text pages with a canonical tag to the URL with no hashtag, a White Hat SEO practice?
Hey guys, I need help. hope it is a simple question : if I have horizontal 4 text pages which you move between through hashtag links, while staying on the same page in user experience, can I canonical tag the URL free of hashtags as the canonical page URL ? is this white hat acceptable practice? and will this help "Adding the Value", search queries, and therefore rank power to the canonical URL in this case? hoping for your answers. Best Regards, and thanks in advance!

Are there *truly* any white-hat link-building tactics?
With our new knowledge -- yielded from J.C. Penney, Forbes, Overstock, content farms, et al -- that the link graph/link profile can be algorithmically mined by search engines to uncover non-natural patterns of links occuring over time, is there any level of link-building that is safe to engage in? If so, then what are those "bright white"-hat tactics that are 100% safe for a site to use?
