I am currently looking for a company to outsource our link development campaign. Does anyone have any suggestions of some good quality (ethical) organizations that I might contact to discuss this with? Any info would be beneficial.

Thanks,

Aaron

Could you expand on 'link development campaign'?

I'd like to know if you're looking for a Zeus-related service (i.e. automated link exchange) or some other particular service.

We're not looking for an automated linking system or reciprocal linking system. We are looking for an organization to research and develop inbound links related to our vertical market that benefits the site linking to us (making them a better resource) and adding us to the "hub" of the market we are in.

Can not help specifically with your request, BUT have you considered employing a high shcool/college student to do this?

Not sure why you would want to consider employing a high school or college student to do this unless they've majored in SEM/SEO and know the value of good links and the danger(s) of bad. Finding a good link specialist is a tough one. I spent the better part of a year and only recently learned of Eric Ward (www.ericward.com) who I heard speak at the Chicago SES last week. We've sent a few emails back and forth this week and I am waiting for an action plan from him. He comes highly recommended. Might be worth your time to check him out.

Yea, I think I'll stay away from high school kids. I've looked at Eric Ward, as I've heard he come highly recommended.

I've found a couple more that are respected in this field. I contacted Shari Thurow at GrantasticDesigns.com and Debra Mastaler at Alliance-link.com. Found both of these to be excellent resources.

I'll keep updating on performance and service options.

Find relevant sites!

Get on the phone!

email your buns off!

Get your own links.

Those link services are spammers and should be drawn and quartered!

eg. I visited your site at **** and thought ***

Crud!

They spam and you are the spammer in the sites' eyes!

Eliminating quality partnerships. ( except for newbies that have no idea how to get their sites indexed in the first place)

IMHO!

This is really relevant to the post. First of all, the site you visited isn't the site I'm working on. Second, you haven't the slightest idea what our business model is like.

Outsourcing some SEO services for sites with over 1000 products is an obviously good business decision. If I had a couple template sites with five products I wouldn't need to outsource it.

Keep your posts relevant or don't post if you don't know what you're talking about.

Thanks for the advice. I will take a look at them.

Hi, achronister:

While your comments about relevance may still be apt, you may have been confused, as I was initially, about the somewhat aggressive way RemodelingGuy worded his post. In fact, I was about to delete his post and send him a warning when I realized his comment, "I visited your site at **** and thought ***", was not aimed at you - he's paraphrasing letters he receives from people trying to build irrelevant link exchanges (I keep getting emails along the lines of "we see you're interested in health and thought it would benefit your site to promote [insert yet another questionable product I've never heard of]"). His anti-spam comments are about those emails, not about you, your sites, or your outsourcing question.

I was going to write something but I'm at a little lost.

Anyway back on topic. We have hired people that work for us that do nothing but links all day and I was wondering if anyone had prices for Eric Ward and the others that where mentioned.

You may find it cheeper to hire in house rather then out side.

Gee,
I don't know what your talking about:
Outsourcing some SEO services for sites with over 1000 products is an obviously good business decision. If I had a couple template sites with five products I wouldn't need to outsource it.

With 1,000 products would it not best to get hire someone in your organization to:

Find relevant sites!

Get on the phone!

email buns off!

You don't need a rocket scientest to send a form letter extolling the benifits of link popularity to a relevant site.

We are looking for an organization to research and develop inbound links related.
It's a 2 way street

go to http://linkpopularity.com and find out who is linking to your competitors and request a link.

Sad news is most will want a return link.
No outbound links = no inbound links

touristips and others:

The original question isn't, for the most part, being addressed- see the post at the top of this thread.

What achronister requested was "suggestions of some good quality (ethical) organizations that I might contact to discuss this [outsourcing] with?". He wasn't asking for advice on whether you would do it this way, just for suggestions as to who you would recommend if you were going to do it.

Link Spammers do exist but not all link-building-service-providers are spammers. Eric Ward or Alliance-Link are very good but can everyone hire them?

We are based in India and we offer ethical and affordable link building service to a growing list of clients in UK and US. We also work for some reputed SEO firms. And we never spam.
