We receive thousands of phone calls, emails, link building questions and listing requests every year about SEO and link building techniques. Eighty percent or more of the people contacting us have terribly wrong ideas about what works and what is important for outstanding results in the major search engines. Below are details, samples, and history of people contacting us with their requirements. Hopefully, you will find useful SEO information that will help your company grow and increase your profits.
Many people phone our company saying, "I need low cost SEO, low quality backlinks, and tons of cheap links."
I respond, "Why?".... They say, "I want to out rank my competitors."
They think it is a pure numbers game, all links are equal and you get more and you win. This is the wrong link building strategy, and these "cheap low quality techniques" will cause your website to be penalized by Google.
These people want fast outstanding results; they want to be #1 for competitive keyword phrases in 1-5 months. Most people still do not understand that Google has penalized almost all of these cheap, crappy links and many people still do not even realize to vary their anchor text. So the fastest way to be penalized by Google is to put up 1000+ low quality links on crappy websites and low quality Directories.
Important Note: "If every url passes a review, the directory gets closer to just a list of links or a free-for-all link site." - Matt Cutts of Google
Then use the exact same anchor text for all these poor quality backlinks. People who do this might as well just email Google and say "please penalize my site, I am a dumb-ass and I deserve to be penalized."
You need and want to be on Top Quality Sites and Directories.
