Supplementary outsourced link building
-
Can anyone recommend an outsourced link building service they have used with success in addition to their own higher effort link building?
(I'm not talking about 1,000 automated directory link submission services.)
Thanks.

Concentrate on getting some unique and high quality content into your site rather than link building at this stage - remember even with link building, you need content for other website owners to want to link back to. Otherwise, the best you can expect are a few non-target website links or no-follow blog posts.
Combat the content first

Its not all that bad Thomas! Charles maybe re evaluate what you want here. Ive seen linkbuilding work but in many cases provide no value.
You can make external linkbuilders give a shit by incentivising them based on sales, but you often end up in a more complicated system than you wanted in the first place!
If I had the money for outsourced linkbuilding, I would be putting it directly into scalable linkbuilding like widgets and badges, or on Viral content.
That means your money goes to developers and designers, not spam and it means your money works for you 24-7
1 of these on your website http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-biggest-lies-in-online-dating/ will do more for you than years of outsourced linkbuilding ever will

Oh by the way - there is a similar question here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/link-building-companies-for-super-hard-niches. You might want to try some of the companies.

Interesting question. I have tried several top SEO companies for link building. And none of them have really delivered anything. As Tom Critchlow usually says, the problem is "you can't outsource giving a shit."
What usually happens is this:
-
You pay premium for a reputable SEO company
-
They pass you on to a junior level SEO to do the link building
-
They send a monthly report with all sort of on site metrics and keyword tracking you probably don't need
-
They send a list of links- Turns out that the links are sidebar links from irrelevant websites (or worse) with way optimized anchor text.
Sorry about being so pessimistic on this one. But after trying multiple reputable companies, I have given up on outsourcing link building. The risk of receiving low-value-for-money or a penalty is too high for me.

Anchor text and internal link building very fast
Hey guys, I just posted an article about "Customer Success". After that, I searched in my blog all the articles that contains that keyword and then linked to this new article I want to rank. Is this a bad thing to do, linking all these articles (12) in a row? Also, is it a bad thing to use "Customer Success" as the anchor text for all the articles linking to this new article? I looked for this topic but couldn´t find any. Thanks

Any value in link building to local pages on my site?
If I'm trying to rank for the term 'wedding band' with my url: http://www.musicliveuk.com/home/wedding-bands will linking to local pages such as: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-bands/wedding-bands-london help the main page to rank? I added the 'local' pages to try and pick up any traffic from long tail search queries but my main focus is on getting the main page to rank as the traffic from long tail queries is so small. So is it worth me spending time building links to these local pages in order to try and help the main page rank?

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
