What Will Happen to Those $250/site SEO Companies now that Fiverr is around?

Well... I guess, I can put that up there but I'm more of a buyer on fiverr than a seller

That's definitely up for discussion. In my years of doing SEO, I've found that doing the indexing effort (pinging, setting up RSS feeds, etc), makes virtually NO difference as to the speed at which my profile links get indexed.

Backlinking is still a major part of SEO, regardless of what you see in the news. Obvious bought links are obvious.

I hope your entire backlinking strategy is not buying super low quality crappy links on Fiverr. I'm sure you can grab a couple decent links here and there. But compared to a real backlinking service that gives you a strategic link schema with massive link diversity and consistent velocity, services on Fiverr are pretty much nothing.

Disagree completely. Most of the link offers here on WF are people reselling fiverr gigs. Hundreds of people here over pay for five dollar items everyday and they are delivered. I'm surprised how many people are fiverr resellers and really offer no services themselves.

Yea I think the people who look for a $250 service probably would have never heard of fiver. They may also be more likely to look for SEO companies in their own town or city so they can meet face to face etc.

Well may be you picked up the wrong persons. But some cheap link services, I would say "run away from them" they do nothing but spam links....

Exactly what I just said in my last reply.... you need a strong SEO foundation on your website to make it work, not when your site is all crappy and you will be expecting results, SEO works both ways.

Yet aren't many SEO companies charging $250 for backlinks just outsourcing much of the grunt work to the Philippines?

Too true. People are confused by providing services and being an SEO. I wouldn't take a $250 per month Full SEO job. I only rarely take a job sub $1,000-$2,000. Fiverr gigs bother me? Haven't even thought of them. First what real business would be looking at fiverrr for any kind of marketing? Cheap and broke ones. I thank Fiverr for redirecting them to another source. Those clients would only bother me with emails and never do a thing anyway

As for the few in here that believe that there are some Fiverr gigs that can deliver what a real SEO will? Really? Show them to me and the results? They can't match what I provide.

Extensive keyword research followed by competition analysis for several keywords. I find the terms that they can actually rank for not by running some software but by analyzing the top ten like no piece of software does. I find out where the competition is getting their backlinks from as a basis for doing liink building. That right. I don't assume one size fits all. I don't just assume (which is entirely false for most results) that the competition is running Senuke/Xrummer. I also don't cherry pick one easy term since most real business don't give a rip about being "on the first page of Google". it means nothing to them. They are concerned with significant traffic that ultimately leads to significant sales increase

Once the keyword and competition research is done then its time to analyze the owner's sites and work on their on page factors. At some point that includes running a crawler with diagnostics through the entire site to see it just like Google does, changing titles, H1 tags, alt etc. then many times writing and addig content for Google crawler to sink its teeth into

only then are we even ready to do linkbuilding.

and no can't blast for Seo for real businesses. Thats a warrior forum SEO myth.

A) most real competition keywords get little traction with forum/profile backlinks. they work for weaker terms yes that are common among Imers but don't for many more terms unless mixed with REAL backlinks (backlinks with authority and PR).

If you doubt me then go ahead and do backlink research on any main line business term and you will almost never find a site ranking without real links mixed in

B) Most real businesses get 70+% of their existing revenue from repeat customers and recommendations from them. Being associated with link spam would hurt almost all of them and none of them want to lose existing customers over it.

Perhaps some Imers kid themselves that everyone has the same mentality as Imers about link spam but its entirely false. A SIZABLE amount of customers view link spam as the same kind of thing as email spam.


So I then have to do link building without relying on forum/profile links and it has to include far more than article directory submissions. Fiverrr vendors wouldn't even know where to start doing link building without profile/article directory/bookmarking links and some software bot to place them.

Fiverr for real business seo can't even begin to compete.

I charge no where near $250 a month. Are you saying my company is not a real seo company? If so then please enlighten us as to the criteria you're basing that statement on?

I'm worried that if people keep announcing in the forums that you can get $250 worth of backlinking done for $5 on Fiverr, that before long those gigs won't even be worth $5 anymore, because everyone will be doing it.

lolololol funny stuff.

LOL... they actually do that at NYU dental school I've heard. It's students using pliers or something... I was offered to get some expensive dental work done there once for practically free, but when I heard they used pliers and other tools from Home Depot... I rann.

/joke (almost)

I never said one gig will cut it...

I know what I'm talking about, trust me and I wasn't talking of companies that virtually have no SEO experience that hire SEO companies.

I do SEO and I'm making serious high end 5 figures per month with it as an affiliate but in 2010, I throw out $250 to SEO companies to outsource that part not because I don't know how to do it but because I don't have time to do it but since 2011 I've never used SEO company and my income didn't shake instead my ROI increased as I get to save more per site.

This. Is. A. Problem. Already.

On DP forums I see so many newbies offering SEO services, yet they make threads in the SEO forum asking all sorts of SEO noob questions. In retro-spect its just called hustling, but online. Gotta make that money.

I think Fiver is neat for some things, maybe little simple SEO jobs, but nobody should trust a Fiver Gig for a full site optimization or backlinks AT ALL. I think in the end you crap backlinks you get from Fiver will just ruin your website.

Good SEO companies that good a very good job will stay in business and keep charing that $250

Eventually some one is going to create a site called threerr.com and that site is going to hurt the income of the people on fiverr.

Do you really want a client that only puts $5 of value in the main section of their website?

I get the same thing with video. I quote a price and I get, oh I can get that for 20 bucks, or I can get that for 5. I tell them good luck! A few have come back afterwards and wanted me to finish up their projects. Sometimes it takes people learning the hard way that you really do get what you pay for.

I just finished my third job for a major car manufacture, they paid the full industry rate without a hitch. Why? Because for them it was fire and forget, they know I will take care of every little detail for them, its less stress and worry for them and the job is done well and on time. It's the same thing with SEO. Do you want to have to hire a ton of people to do every little thing and micro manage each one? Or do you just pay one company to sort out everything, understand your needs and get you the results you want? Most companies don't have time to deal with that level of back and forth. They just want it done, on time and correctly, and people pay good money for that alone.

LMFAO.....That is all :rolleyes:

I have to disagree with you...REAL SEO professionals, will NEVER have a problem getting clients.
