Best SEO Link Building Company (textlinkbrokers.com or thinkbigsites.com) ?
-
We are looking into outsourcing the bulk of our link building.
And, so far, I am looking at two different SEO Agencies.
textlinkbrokers.com and thinkbigsites.com
Has anyone had any experience in working with either of these companies?
Has anyone had any great results with a different SEO Link Building Company?
Thanks!

Thanks for trying us out Nat. Drop me a line sometime (jarrod@textlinkbrokers.com) and let me know how everything is going. We are always looking for feedback.
Best,

I have been a professional SEO for 13 Years. I have ALWAYS wanted to work with textlinkbrokers but never had the budget. Now that I do, as of last week, I called them immediately and am about to begin a 3k per month campaign. Very much looking forward to working with some real pros.

Hey gang - sorry for my delay. As Keri noted; been a tough few days for me on the personal/family front.
Re: link building. My understanding is that Jarrod/TLB offer both the classic paid link services (at least I think they still do, not sure), which I'd be generally against and more white-hat style link outreach/content-marketing type link building, which I'd generally support. The former can be effective short-term, but can have dangerous results in the long run (Penguin's only the most recent example). The latter is usually of strong, lasting value, not just as a way to boost SEO, but as a way to help many inbound channels (referring link traffic, social media, branding, PR, etc).
Cheers,

Rand, if you do end up reading/replying to this, my apologies for evoking your name. I imagine that, with everything going on, you have better things to do then to defend our honor in a Q/A post :). If you do happen to respond though, thanks!

If you take a peek at Rand's twitter stream, you'll see that yesterday was a rather eventful day for him and it make take a few days before he has a few days to come into Q&A.

Glad to hear it. We have worked hard over the past couple of years to expand, and further improve our offerings. Thanks for checking us out.

HI Jarrod.
We have worked with TLB in the past (2 years ago) and it provided results.
With all the new Search Engine Updates, I wanted to be thorough in my search.
I already have a custom TLB Proposal from Josh B.
Thanks.

I will love to see Rand replying to this.:)

Greetings Full Spectrum,
I am one of the owners at TextLinkBrokers.
We would love to work with you.
In regards to our reputation I would point out the following:
- We have been doing link building for 10 years now
- A+ rated with the BBB. Which I believe is pretty amazing considering we have serviced over 30,000 clients and because of the nature of the business we are in.
- We are honest and transparent with everything we do.
- We have a larger lineup of link building services than any other company I know. If you have no risk tolerance and want to focus only on a link bait, link begging, and other types of content based link building, we can do that. Infographics? we do lots of those too.
- Yes we also do other types of link building that pure white hat SEO types may shy away from. Guest posting seems to be pretty popular with those types however, and we do more guest posting on higher quality sites than any other company I know of.
- If you have a bit more aggressive appetite we offer a ton of other very effective link building services and we have the experience to know how to do it without triggering over optimization and unnatural link filters.
- We also offer a full suite of other non link building services including Social Media Management, which goes really well with our content marketing programs.
PM me or send an email to jarrod@textlinkbrokers.com if you have any other questions. I have personally known Rand for a long time, and while he does not support the paid linking side of things he does recognize that we cater to all types.
Here is a testimonial from him:
"I've known Jarrod & the TLB crew for a long time. They've always had a great business that's provided value to their clients and partners." Rand
I'm not a huge fan of name dropping but this is Rand's site so...

Like Cornell said, there are much better ways to invest that monthly budget. You should look for a company that will work with your goals and create a strategy around getting your terms ranked.
There are many ways to earn links that will get quality traffic to your site.
<shameless plug="" alert=""></shameless>
This is something we can help you with, if you're interested, send me a message!

I know about penguin and panda.
So does textlinkbrokers and thinkbig.
textlinkbrokers worked in the past but I feel like thinkbigsites is more reputable.
"If you have $1800 to spend on SEO each month I think you can use them in better ways."
Any suggestions?
Because that's what I am looking for.
Thanks!

Hello,
http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/sell-links.html is in buying / selling links so that is a NO! NO! NO!
http://www.thinkbigsites.com/seo-seo-packages.html play the video (min 1:05) and they'll say "we own a big network of blogs and social bookmarking profiles" ... That's again a NO! NO! NO!
I suggest you read some blogs about the penguin and panda update ... just google it.
If you have $1800 to spend on SEO each month I think you can use them in better ways.

Best Methods - Link Building
We are having more and more "new" customers coming to us who have been hit by various algorithms imposed by google. After we have run a site health check and corrected everything, we plan and come up with a link development plan which suits the clients needs. Much of out link development work is safe comprising of; 1. Guest Blog Posts - where we develop creative content with the customer to publish. 2. Industry blog posts - where bloggers write about i.e. "the company" 3. Social media - posting pictures, commenting on forums, etc 4. Paid directories with authority We don't develop links in any other way and it brings results in the long term. Is anyone out there doing something else? Link building can sometimes be like walking on a tight rope. Thanks and happy holidays Gary - Elite Group Marketing London

Link building with About.com and ehow.com
Does anyone know if About.com has a policy on providing back links to websites. A client of mine has had a product reviewed on about.com as well as being included in a "how to" article, but no back link was provided. I checked out the page and noticed "paid for advertisement" back links over random words but no back links on any of the pages I randomly searched that were related to the topic being discussed.

Do you stop link building once you have your desired rank?
So with all these updates hitting sites left, right and center. Now you have your desired rank on Google, do you stop link building for that project? I can see some positives in this You will not add links that will get hit by future updates. If you do get hit in future updates you have less links to remove. Obviously it an outstanding link came along from BBC or CNN you would go for that. But press releases etc would you now stop anything like that?

Link Building & Juice
I have a corporate client which has multiple franchises, therefore microsites (www.example.com/cityname) within their corporate website(www.example.com). I am trying to build some links for these microsites that are lot weaker than the corporate web page in terms of PA. We worked hard putting most of these locations into local directories such as Google places and yahoo local, but the ones on yahoo local are all pointing to www.example.com even when you search a specific city when it suppose to be www.example.com/cityname. So first thought is to edit all of the yahoo locals to the microsite webpages for every locations but then I thought that wasn't a good idea since I will split the juice passed to the corporate website www.example.com. The corporate website is really important and wouldn't want to weaken its PA. Can someone tell me what are my options in order to not hurt the corporate website and to improve ranking for these weak microsites? should I still edit those yahoo listings to the microsite website or not? if not what how will I be able to build more links? Thank you!!

Outsourcing Link Building
I have searched through various freelance sites for link building services, and it looks like there are plenty of people who can get links on PR4+ sites at a pretty cheap rate. You know how they always say when it looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true? People are charging around $250 for 50 links on sites with good page rank, do follow, etc... Do you think it could help or hurt my SEO campaign, considering I have a good site with solid content and other good content posted on the web?

Outsourced link building?
My company is looking at outsourcing part of our SEO - some supplementary link building to boost some deep links. What does the SEOmoz community think of outsourcing link building? Every company that I've researched seems to employ very low quality techniques, which ends up with a bunch of spammy/sidebar/links page/comment links. Are there companies that specialise in high quality link building? We would definitely be looking for people that would do things like write engaging guest posts, etc, rather than spamming our brand across the internet. Are there any lessons that you've learned that you can share with me?

Where do I find the best link building company?
Hi there, I'm trying to find an ethical, honest, link building company. We don't want links on shady forums, or comment spam, or any of that black hat nastyness!. I want links, on proper sites, and I'm prepared to pay for them accordingly. We're also more than happy to write/have written/ quality content that can be linked to. (We already pump out about 15 x 400+ word, optimised blogs weeks) We spend hours on the various social media sites also. So I think the only thing we're really missing now, is decent backlinks and possibly some more long tail keywords... Over to you guys. Paul.

Selling link building - Show me the money !
Week after week we get enquiries for Link building services. Time and time again we are losing out on contracts and deals... My stance - We work on your site for a period of time doing link building so 2 days in the month a link building member will research competitors , yadi , yadi, ya 🙂 You get the picture right... But the customers are being told by less scrupulous companies the numbers of links they will receive. Impossible unless you are buying them right ? So it reaches that point when you start questioning being 100% honest... What advice would you give me on selling link building services...
