Agreed!!!

I would be more tempted by Andrew's suggestion of hiring someone, instucting them and then putting them to work rather than completely handing over control to a 3rd party - especially one based on another continent, where as many of us know, there are many dodgy link buidling and SEO outfits (there are many probably good ones too but we don't here about those).

No, there's no harm in hiring a third party to do link building - however, I tend to shy away from third party link builders because I can't confirm their tactics. I can only ask them questions to try to understand how they're adding links.
What I generally do when I'm focusing on link building is hire an intern for minimum wage, instruct them what to do, and monitor the results. That way, I know exactly how links are being built, and I can maintain the quality assurance.
It might not make sense in all situations, but rankings are too important to me to neglect quality for cost.

yeh cheers is a hard one working on the web you dont see who your working with.

There is nothing wrong with using a third party service for link building (it's the same thing as having an internal SEO do it for you, regardless of what people say). However, you need to make sure they're building WHITE HAT links. There IS a difference between a white hat authoritative link that is RELEVANT and links that are spammy. Get samples of their work and test them out on a dummy site first and see if it's XRUMER type linking or real manual links. That's my thoughts on it.

Google showing different links in SERPs
Google search results are showing my site links in both URLs, "mydomain.com" and "https://mydomain.com". However the one with https is showing a favicon, and the other one is not. So i wanna keep the https one and remove the other one. I went to GSC to submit "mydomain.com" for removal and it said that URL will be deleted in ALL of its variations.So how do i delete the "mydomain.com" links? Should i just index the ones with https again? Would that work? Someone suggested me to do 301 redirect on all pages that are being displayed twice. But i am not sure if i need to do that since i am using squarespace, and both of the links lead to the same page?

We use SLI for our searches and are thinking of just going back to the searches on our platfrom Bigcommerce
Does anyone have any experience with the advantages of using a search product like SLI in comparison to the search available on Bigcommerce. We currently use SLI for the searches on our site but think over the years we have been using SLI that the searches on Bigcommerce have improved and we are thinking of switching back to using the Bigcommerce search.

Why would so many links be appearing in the source code of this page - but not on the page itself?
Hi everyone, Have a look at the source code of this page: http://www.daleproaudio.com/c-332-mixers.aspx Notice the numerous links in the source code that do not appear on the page. Is this cloaking? Or is it a by-product of their use of Nextopia? Bonus points if anyone knows what platform this site is running on 🙂 Thanks!

Does anybody use Scrapebox?
I know that Scrapebox is mostly used more mass-spam posting and other blackhat stuff, but does anybody here use it for whitehat purposes? Is it capable of tasks that OSE isn't? Can it be used as a supplement to OSE or vice-versa? I mostly want to know if it's a tool that the experts here would recommend having.

Linking within a website advice please
Hi i am working on my site which is a lifestyle magazine and i have been reading about using linking within your own website to help you climb up the search engines. Now i am trying to find out if this is correct information and if so which is the best way to use this. I have an example page below, as stated i am still working on the site and the site will still take me a few more weeks yet. http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/soap-gossip/eastenders-fans-not-happy-over-tanya-plot Now if it is correct that linking from within a site is a good way to climb the search engines, i would like to know how i would do it for this page. I am looking at climbing the search engines for soap gossip and celebrity news. I was thinking should i have a line at the bottom saying something like for all the latest celebrity news visit our site or something like this. any advice would be great
