Can someone please explain me why it costs so much to outsource backlinking on elance? The minimum rate proposals I am getting are like $1 per link MINIMUM... No offense to my friends overseas in Asia, but $25-30 an hour is a bit much for something that takes no skill whatsoever... :confused:

    You can get some link builders who charge $2-3 per per link, with them being One way links, or backlinks, from sites which are in a similar niche to your website.

    I think you have to be really careful with who you hire. It takes a special skill and lots of manpower to both do the boring work, but also build quality control into the system. I have been working with an SEO company in India (actually starting back up after I found out how well they were doing) where they have over 400 employees, and there are some people whose only job is to go in and score link sources for a variety of criteria. In this way, they get the best links for people from a variety of sources that a smaller company would not be able to match.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

      Just wondering what exactly you are talking about. It looks like a half of a pitch for backlinking service, but not really sure. Want to explain?

      Care to give any details on what they have been able to do for you, and who they are?

      I have used http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...g-75-week.html to do some backlinks for me a few times. Prices are very reasonable and they do pretty good work. I was supplying my own lists, but I believe they subscribe to Angela's and Paul's list and maybe others. I am just not sure about that. I recomend them highly.

      I've gone in for a few of the various services offered on there, but none of them seem to have the effect on my SERPs that olde fashioned back linking had. I just don't have the patience to do it myself anymore...

    you are being ripped off guys

    Outsource to Freelancers, IT Companies, Programmers, Web Designers from India, Russia, USA, and more is what I use. You can find people at anywhere from .50 to $7 per hour.

    Thanks for that. I have someone working for me from odesk for 2.22 an hour that just did 200 profile links in 30 hrs. I'm pleased...

    Be extremely careful when outsourcing to these types of companies. Chances are, 99% of the links they give you are completely worthless.

      It's an individual and he is doing angela & paul links. So far, even after a week I am seeing results... I really, really cannot complain. And I am a complainer.
