A Link Building Rant
As an SEO company we get many offers from overseas organisations who want to be our SEO partners. Here’s a quote from a recent email.
“Myself ****** a SEO freelancer from India and I can provide you a quality link building services. I have a huge Database of Websites for quality link building with me. I have an experience of more then 2 year in SEO firm.”
So in short we could hire this chap and we’d get hundreds of links for ourselves or our clients and these links may well help our sites to rank better. I’m not blaming Google for the growth of the link building industry as I honestly believe they are working flat out to address the situation but what’s an honest SEO to do?
It’s gone way beyond a joke and I don’t see it getting better any time soon. Anyone got any thoughts?

Link building is the holy grail of SEO. I’m trying to promote my business website Aberdeen Computer Repair and have read many SEO tutorials. Off-site optimisation seems to be the best tool to get your site noticed. However very few tutorials tell you how to get back links easily. I am guessing there is an easy “undergorund” way of doig this. If so let me know!
Build links for people and you won’t go far wrong. Like the link you’ve added to your comment above. It will do nothing for your rankings as it’s nofollowed but it may send you some traffic

I also noticed you don’t follow through the links in your Testemonials to your clients – not very helpful to them?
Thats why I did not go with yourself when you did a free freivew for me in May. Just a tip.
Thanks for the advice…….

Yea the main thing nowadays is link building for a website. Who knows maybe sooner or later google will change their algorithms and links won’t be important anymore.
I get emails like this all the time saying that they can get hundreds of links to my website Muddy Matches. I think the trick is not to trust anyone who sends you an unsolicited email, whatever they’re selling!
Thanks for all the great advice.

Wrong, wrong, wrong! – I’m sorry, but this is pure myth.
Lets get this straight – Google introduced the no-follow tag as a gesture to all those bloggers out there that were constantly whining about PR bleed and despite it’s best efforts Google is the only SE that actually pays any attention to the no-follow tag, hence, the link will help Scotts rankings in other search engines. Even Google will still consider it as a “vote” for aberdeencomputerrepair. It just wont get any PR love from this page (which happens to be 0 right now, so nothing lost there…)
The web is awash with link spam, Google is throwing 100’s of PhD’s at the problem and my money is on them fixing the link problem.
You can disagree, that’s fine

I don’t disagree that link spam can skew the SERPS and I also don’t disagree that Google is a very smart beast that is constantly developing it’s algo’s with the aim of producing relevant search results – that’s the nature of it’s business afterall.
I was just disagreeing with your observation that the link in Scotts post would do nothing to help his rankings…
Actually, the term “link juice” comes to mind. The fact that there seems to be somewhat of a point/counterpoint conversation brewing here could stir up the potion, eh? I know that creating controversy is a good way to get people talking. Cheers!
most seo’s also can provide quality of links but some of them are scammres that’s why everyone must aware of that. Sometimes clients pretend that he need seo for the websites after you are doing seo for the site and linkbuilder when times of payment clients didn’t pay.
