THAT'S THE WRONG WAY TO BUILD BACKLINKS!

Adsense / PPC / SEO Discussion Forum

Question 1:

Yes, but there are other strategies too that are great (or better) such as other websites just naturally linking to your site because they found your content to be of use to their audience.

Question 2:

Of course they call themselves "white hatters". They are not, but they can't come out and say their scams errr services are "black hat". That would be bad for business, wouldn't it? Link farms/building schemes are poor for SEO. Period.

I've been looking at all these link-building guys on this forum, thinking to myself, if I get involved with them, and they get my site on google's 1st page, my site might be there for a couple of weeks, but then after google figures it all out, no more page one...am i right?

Yes it does but there are also other ways of linking your site naturally if its of use to the audience.

Yes, creating backlinks on many high traffic sites is a great way to improve your rankings, whether you create brand new Hubs on Hubpages, or brand new Lenses on Squidoo, these will not have high traffic right away, these will be classed as NEW pages, and links from NEW pages with not much traffic will be less effective (given everything else is the same) than established pages with constant traffic flow.

This is where blog comments can come in handy. You can search Google for relevant Squidoo lenses by searching:

inurl:squidoo.com "KEYWORD"

You can then sort by Page Rank with SEOQuake (free) and leave some relevant comments with your backlink.

Comment links on established pages and contextual links within your own new pages is a great mix for SEO and will easily allow you to rank a <5000 competition keyword within a month (being generous).

It might also be worth pointing out that you should check that most of the links you create are DOFOLLOW. some nofollow links are good but you want to ensure about 75% of your backlinks are dofollow as a rule of thumb. (works for me!)

I outsource to a variety of different people but training them up takes a looong time and you need to dedicate many hours a day to get them started and ensure they are doing everything correctly.

I suggest staying away from backlink packages and buying one-off links, these do help you for a few weeks but die off after a while and you are usually back where you started.

Going with a trusted SEO company is what I recommend. This will allow you have a little more trust in what is happening and allow you to spend your precious time concentrating on the business side of your business!

When choosing an SEO company you must realize that it can make or break your business so choose wisely. Out of experience, I suggest taking 4 companies, contacting them, and inquiring about their services.

In this industry there is a lot of variance of cost/quality ratios, so ask questions. Ask as many questions about their link-building methods, reports, prices, plans, etc. as you can think of.

Usually, after much scrutinizing, you should see that one company will stand out as the best among the others.

This research is very important so spend a little time with this so that you don't need to focus on SEO in the future.

Buying bulk link packages will just wear you out, they are often in the business just to make a buck, and will trick unsuspecting newbies. - This is a generalization but I haven't come across a decent link package yet, and that's saying something!

Alternatively, you can certainly do the job yourself. Just look around this forum, plenty of info here! Be confident in the methods, they DO WORK, but you must GIVE THEM TIME!

Good luck
