Looking for a White-hat Manual Link Builder..any Suggestions??

You can try looking for people that will take on this job online. Elance, Freelancer, and Odesk are some examples that you might want to consider.

Alternatively, I think you may try Magic Submitter as it is fully customizable so you can customize nearly everything for each of your client's campaign.

Hope this helps,

I am in the same boat as you. Have hear of a new program by Eric Lancheres called Panda Breakthrough. Am tossing up whether to buy or not as it cost $497.00. It is backed by Matt Carter who is usually very careful about who and what he recommends.
I have Magic Submitter at the moment, but that is a black hat submitter and God knows how long it will be before Google clamps down on them and our customers are affected accordingly, so I have cancelled by subscription. Don't mind the work, but would just like to know what is acceptable for an SEO company to offer for this work.

White hat, black hat, grey hat, it doesn't matter... SERIOUSLY...it really doesn't. White hatters get burned just as much as black hat people...

Building links to manipulate the search engine is not white hat... white hat does not exist.

You either stay ahead of the game, or you lose. There is no safety in SEO, so your white hat manual link builders aren't going to do anything for you.

You need to think of your link building in a way that doesn't care about the search engines. I survive every google update, because my link building is built around where can I get relevant traffic for my clients?

@iAmNameLess " so your white hat manual link builders aren't going to do anything for you."

My point, exactly

Hugh

Let's face it, there is not whitehat backlinking solution. According to Googles T&C, every backlink created by you or a person affiliated to you, using a targeted keyword in the link, with the purpose to rank higher in Google, is not allowed.

Of course every one is doing it anyways, as it's the only way to get ranked, and Google came to accept it and that's why they come up with those panda and penguin updates, to filter out the ones who abuse the system in mass.

But don't look for whitehat linkbuilding software, there is no such thing. Every backlink you create is technically blackhat.
The only true whitehat way would be if fans of your websites would create backlinks for you, using a variety of backlinks.

What you are looking for is a simple non spam backlinking methode.

Hey Brandi -

For a good manual link builder, you can hire someone to do the following, or do this yourself to get started (scalability is a tough nut to crack).

1) If your client does not have a blog integrated into their site (or their site is not build on WordPress) that's step 1.

2) For each client, write 1-4 good blog posts per month on their blog, quantity dependent on how much they are paying you. Try to shoot for decent sized posts...say 400 words or so (more is great).

3) Each blog post should be about a keyphrase that you want to optimize for. Make sure the title, meta desc, category, and tags reflect the target keyword and/or permutations of it.

4) Set up profiles for your client on FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, Friendfeed, and any other place that will accept an RSS feed. Add the new post to Google+1 (no RSS there - that's manual).

5) For local clients, set them up on Localeze.

6) Write 1 GREAT press release each month (or every other month) and distribute on PRWeb. You can buy releases from Vocus in bulk and get your cost down to $60-$70 each for a SEO release. They retail between 200-370.

By doing this, you are doing 3 things: Adding great content to the site; getting backlinks; developing social signals.

With today's Google, this is - IMHO - the only way to promote a site in search engines without (much) fear of a slap.

Moreover, based on your email, it seems like something you could do yourself. Admittedly, the writing can get overwhelming and doesn't scale so well. But find a good writer who will create GREAT custom content for you and build that into your process.

The thing is....with this setup, you will have to charge more for it. With great custom content writing, it is a slower, more intensive process with higher hard costs to produce. Don't be afraid to charge accordingly...

Hope that helps.

iAmNameLess, could you share your backlinking strategy that has survived Google updates?

OP: My viewpoint may not be shared by others here, but for me manual off-site link building is never white hat. It's always black hat. I believe this is true because a truly natural link is a link that someone points back to your site from their site simply because they like a piece of content on your site.

Any link that you generate from another website, whether manually or automatically, is by definition not a natural link. If the link from another website to your website is generated in some way by you, ANY way by you, it is unnatural.

So the better way to handle the question you have raised is to stop thinking in terms of generating back links and start thinking in terms of creating quality content on your site. Often called "link baiting", the idea is to do what Google's original algorithm was actually based upon: establishing yourself as an authority by providing information that is genuinely useful to someone else. The more people like what you have to offer, the more people will link to you.

There is no doubt in my mind that authority (as opposed to link reputation) is now in ascendancy. Panda and Penguin, in my opinion, have demonstrated this to be true. Others will probably disagree, and I respect their viewpoint, but I'm convinced that authority now counts more than ever.

For Example

Here is an example to illustrate this fact: Take a look at CNN.com's home page right now, today, June 23, 2012. Obviously, it changes frequently, at least daily, sometimes by the hour. Right now, I see a small reference to an article about halfway down the page: "CNN PROFILE: 'Museum therapist' redefines art". I think we can agree that CNN's site has nothing to do with being a museum therapist. They are just providing an article that includes that phrase in the title.

Now, Google the phrase: museum therapist. Lookie there! CNN is #1 for the phrase out of nearly six million results. Bear in mind that this article appeared yesterday for the first time, and already it's #1.

How did this happen? Simple: authority. You could try doing the same thing with your website, by writing an article on the subject of "museum therapist" and linking to it from your home page, and you would never be at #1 in the rankings, certainly not within a day or two. You might not even appear on page 1. Why? Because your site (and the page on which your article resides) does not have nearly as much authority.

Now look at all the sites that appear on page 1 for this result. CNN, Facebook twice, Topix, Twitter, and others have pages there. Are these sites about museum therapists? Clearly not. Do they have tons of backlinks that include the phrase "museum therapist" in them? Don't make me laugh! Of course they don't.

As far as I can see, the smallest site on page one for "museum therapist" has roughly 85,000 pages in their site (according to Google) plus about 6,500 total back links (with a wide variety of anchor text in those links) from 450 domains according to Majestic SEO.

I think we can safely conclude that all of the positions on page 1 are held by sites by virtue of their high authority levels, rather than by virtue of high link reputation.

Link reputation has to do with the anchor text in the link, so clearly it isn't link reputation that is making the big difference. Authority has to do with how many pages link to your page, regardless of the anchor text. That's what's making the difference.

What can we conclude?

For me, there is only one possible conclusion. Concentrating on directly acquiring back links whether manually or automatically, in order to plug in links to your site with specific anchor text in them, is a waste of time, money, and effort in the age of Panda and Penguin.

So what's the alternative?

The alternative is to stop thinking in terms of acquiring links and start thinking in terms of offering juicy, attractive content: lots of it, in large quantities, and then make it clear to the public that this content is available to them and worth taking a look at it. In other words, the alternative is to start building authority. And, oh, by the way, if you do this by offering high quality content that people actually like, and you do it in large quantities, you'll end up getting those back links you crave so much, all without lifting a finger to game the system, spam anyone, manually insert links on other websites, etc.

I will also provide you guidelines...

I actually have a network of domains we use for link building strictly for our clients ONLY. We buy 10-30 new domains each month and continue to build our asset of domains for link building.

My company is Local Lead Generation | SEO & Review Management for Service Providers - Locally Rank

I'd be happy to discuss with you a few options and see what is a good fit for you clients. Because of the power of our network, we have clients ranking page 1 within the first 30-45 days in most cases.

I'll shoot you an email and we can discuss more.

Don't kid yourself. Writing good quality content for your clients isn't going to get you far. And it's going to be a lot of work and/or cost you a lot of money. Frankly, in 3 years I have not found a single freelancer who could write good content. It's all garbage unless you pay $30 -$50 an article. And if you're growing your consulting business, you don't have time to be writing articles yourself, not to mention that you're not an authority on your clients' businesses so you shouldn't be writing blog content for them anyway. So who's going to do it? The client? Is your HVAC contractor really going to sit down and write a blog post each week? Of course not, he or she has a business to run.

And believing that content on your site is so wonderful that it's going to compel consumers to link to your client is just silly. Who wants to read an HVAC contractors blog? Who cares about a plumber or eye doctor's blog? Nobody does. Not unless a consumer is in the market for that stuff and even so, most consumers are not going to link to it. Trying to build online visibility with "quality content" is a waste of time as an SEO. Quality content is important, but create it and move on. I think Google knows that most offline business websites are static. That's why so few of them got hit by Penguin.

So how do you get client visibility in a post Panda/Penguin world? Two ways. You simply go for it and use tools like Magic Submitter or SENukeX, knowing the risks involved. If you don't want to risk your clients' online rep, build links to 2nd and 3rd tier sites. The other way, IMO, is to forget about SEO and build your client's online visibility through PPC. As an SEO, your job is going to be obsolete someday anyway so if you want to stay in the business long term, I suggest learning Adwords.

Technically you could go white hat through a sort of "link liberation" style, but even that is intentionally doing something to influence your ranking. but then again, those of you inside my seo cash club know I don't give a rip about which hat I wear anyway...
