I recently started a new site and I was thinking of using some backlinking or other gigs on Fiverr to give it a little boost. I contacted one gig that was popularly mentioned here and happens to be one of the top rated for backlinking. It's this one here: http://fiverr.com/dino_stark/build-e...gh-pr-profiles

He stated that his gig wouldn't do a new site like mine any good. I am not sure why, perhaps someone here could give some insight as to why not. And if this type of gig is not beneficial then what type of gig could I look into that might be helpful?

    Maybe get help with some Facebook, YouTube and Twitter exposure? Buy likes, followers, etc.

      I did for YouTube. So you are saying find a gig that offers so many Facebook or Twitter followers and those people will like and tweet the site? And that will give back links and boost where I rank in Google? Any specific gigs you might recommend?

      Or are you recommending starting a Facebook or Twitter account for my site?

    I won't suggest you to go with fiverr gigs. Believe me no one can give quality links in $5. Most probable they gonna blast your site over hundreds of low quality spammy website using some automated tool. Keep in mind

    Quality never comes cheap!

    He is right- and now (especially this year) would do anything like that. Its the put quality links that are doing the harm at the moment. SEO has got harder and requires more focus effort. In the past you could get away with a lot.

    Now you have to build a "base" - then move up the level- as a process this is what I would do:

    1. Press Release - about something new in your industry - Use something like News Release Distribution Services - WebWire

    2. Directory submission- Not the free list but better - paid listings but only the ones that allow Deep - more than one links - like octopedia.com

    3. Then maybe look at guest posting, and articles submission, but original, not spun....

    Sorry the fiver gigs just do more damage than good....and you cant reverse them....

      Thanks for the advice. Aren't their Fiverr gigs that do that stuff though? Or even ones here on Warrior Forum like this: http://www.warriorforum.com/warriors...g-up-soon.html

      Also I am not very familiar with Press Releases. What types of things should I write about. IE if my niche is weight loss? Oh and by the way all of this is for an EMD site.

    For a new site, pass on the Fiverr gigs and cough up $200 for the "Results" package from The Hoth. A new site is going to take a bit more high-quality than you'll find on Fiverr.

        Nevermind, I read the rest of that thread and that WF offer isn't that great. Anyway what about a press release, good idea for a new site? If so where to start? What to write about?

          Here's a concept I buy into. I see the point on pointing a bunch of low quality backlinks at a new site. I think search engine algorythms perceive that as unnatural. A Fiverr provider provided a solution to this issue that I used with success. He called it a link pyramid. He set up cushion sites at hubpages, squidoo etc. Sites that have tons of backlinks already. He pointed those sites to the new site. Then he put out the automated, low quality backlinks to all the sites he already collected that auto-approved and pointed those links at the cushion sites.

          I applied this concept to a local business using a YouTube channel named after the keywords I wanted to rank for. I loaded the channel with videos about the business and links in the descriptions to that business's sites. Then I paid a Fiverr supplier for 1000's of these low quality, automated backlinks pointing to the YouTube channel.

          Result: A couple months later I did a search for the keywords I wanted to rank for and there on the first page of results was the YouTube channel! Other searches for other phrases showed the individual videos highly ranked and on pages 1 & 2.

          This has happened since Panda and Penguin.

            Thanks legalbear. I know this works for YouTube videos and have used not that exact method but another back-linking method and other stuff to get a vid ranked. However YouTube videos are surprisingly easy to rank compared to a website I think. I am unsure if a website would rank using such methods. I am worried that instead the website may be penalized as Google's algorithms are much more sophisticated according to my understanding.

    I personally wouldn't use fiverr anymore for SEO gigs, I had in the past to some success but have found they have little or no impact and are a waste of a fiverr!

    Whats your site like? If its an EMD with a couple of 5-600 word articles, all targeting a single keyword with that keyword in your meta, H1 & H2 tags alt text, first and last paragraph etc etc etc id personally start again.

      Basically testing the Google Sniper method but with higher quality articles, self written. 500-1000 words.
