Questions About Link Building .
-
Hello Moz Community,
I am about to hire a SEO firm for my website ranking. I have few questions about their link building plan.
http://priceperlink.com/SEO-Link-Building/
Their link building plan ! I have purchased package 4. I have noticed they will use same article and PR again and again . Is that acceptable ? This plan is not authenticated to me. I hope google will catch me for duplicate content. Anyone can clear it please ?
Another question is , If i provide unique articles , will that plan be helpful ? Still i have confusion. As I read few days ago, google don't give any value to article submission and press release distribution without any news !
So, help me quickly and suggestion as well. Will i continue with them or not. Thanks

Cut the rope and run!
To build links you need high authority (mixed with some lower authority), highly relevant in context sites that suit your niche. Imagine how many thousands of niches there out there, now imagine that company has such a complex portfolio of opportunities it can cater for anyone who buys a 'package'. It's not going to happen! That would be like the holy grail.
You would be far better spending on time $200 for 1 single powerful link than spend $xxx + for the privilege of getting penalized.
You'd be better off investing time in:
-
You are in a danger Chris; my advice is to kill the contract immediately as they are selling the snake oil services and nothing else.
- One article and submitting on different article submission websites, you soon will e the victim of Google penguin update. This is indeed a duplicate content plus Google don’t really like the links coming from article submission sites.
When buying link building services from any company always keep few things in mind.
- If someone guarantee certain number of links in a certain time, you probably should question their quality as link building in most cases cannot be time specific.
- Press Release links? Google don’t like it unless the links are no-follow.
- Social Bookmarking links :O. I would not even consider them quality links.
- Web Directories, unless they are highly relevant to your business and contain quality, its again will hurt you.
I would recommend reading this post as this will give you a quick idea of how to hire a digital marketing consultant for your business: http://www.setalks.com/how-to-find-quality-seo-consultant-for-my-business/
Hope this helps!

I know it can be really tempting to buy links in packages such as this in order to facilitate link building, it is a very dangerous area. Low quality links will harm your website. And it can be very difficult to recover.
You don't know which websites these people are going to target. You are paying for something and you don't really know what it is. For this sort of service to work, you need URLS. You need to know exactly which websites they are going to put links on to your website - before you do it.
This sort of pile them high, sell them cheap link building service is so obvious to Google. If you are happy to change your domain name when it all goes wrong, then try this service out. If you are attached to your domain name then I really wouldn't even consider this sort of service.
You don't need an enormous number of links to get good results on Google - these days it is all about quality. You need strong keyword research, structured on-page optimisation, quality content production, quality links, engagement on social media and the building of a community around your brand.
Yes that is a lot of hard work, but all the above actually builds your brand, improves the user experience for your customers and makes your website a better place to be.

Disavow links from questionable blog
Hi everyone, I noticed today that we are getting quite a few backlinks from a blog that promotes some rather seedy ideals (it's called zoklet). Specifically, they are linking to some products we sell that prevent shoplifting, so I'm drawing some conclusions about their motives. I don't think the blog itself is spammy, but I'm just assuming that it's a bad neighborhood and we should distance ourselves from it. The only reason I'm questioning the disavow is because of the warnings involved and that it might affect our rankings if we do it. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Link Building for extremely niche industry
I understand that when getting links into your site, they need to be good authority but, importantly, also relevant to the information on your own website. I've seen examples for people to find guest posting opportunities on many sites, but these have been for popular industries with mass amounts of people discussing it (travel blogs, fashion blogs), making guest post opportunities more readily available. The company I work for provide doc storage, scanning and paperless solutions. As you can guess, when following these guides to find blogs on our industry, I have come up short with places to ask to guest post on! So, how would SEOmozzers approach building quality, relevant links for a very niche industry such as ours? Also, we'll be building pages for extremely specific types of files (e.g. Microfiche Scanning, A0 Scanning....). For these pages, how will I be able to find relevant pages on these topics to get a link to, because these will obviously be even more niche than doc scanning? Thank you!

Links I am not Building?
Hi All, I check webmaster multiple times on a daily basis, and I noticed some links that I have not worked on and look a bit spammy, is it possible for people to purposely pont bad links in my direction? If that is the case is there a way for me to remove them myself? Also the number of total backlinks are very different in Webmaster and my Open Site Explorer, is this normal? Thanks again !

Best link building activities to increase velocity.
I'm running my own web based company selling security software. I'm a one man band and do the programming, web design, SEO etc. all myself. I've taken a very white hat approach so far and spend all my time writing guest posts and getting them published on tech blogs (I get 3-5 links per week doing this). The only tool I use is Buzzstream and I've been doing this for about 6 months now. I'm starting to see a few results but whenever I look at my competitors I see they have links from thousands of root domains. I feel like I need to increase my link building velocity with a new activity which will yield a much greater number of links than I am able to create using my guest posting strategy. I'm not keen to start spamming article directories or any other short term activity. I dedicate about 8 hours per week to SEO and I could afford to spend around $700 per month if necessary. Any help would be much appreciated.
