Advice for Outsourcing SEO

Hi,

You'll receive different responses from people on the forum, because we all have a different opinion and have all had different experiences, but from my opinion, as a SEO consultant, I don't recommend you to outsource.
The experiences I have had have been just horrible, in that area. I have had freelancers who never get the job done simply because they want to keep getting paid every month. I've had them, not even do the work, after being paid. I've seen a lot, being around the seo world, for almost a decade now.

Outsourcing is like playing cards, sometimes you'll get delt a good hand, and other times you won't. It's a gamble, to say it best.

Hi
Before outsourcing there are lot of things to consider. First thing need to consider is about the company, weather company is good, how it is working, background of the company, how many employees, work experience. These all we need to verify and then we need to outsource the project.

It all depends on your budget and expectations.

Want true quality work done with only back links from relevant sites? Then hire someone that starts to contact tons of website owners in your niche and let the outsourcer offer them something in return for a link to your site. For example a high quality guest post or a link from a high PR domain in return, or perhaps money.

Links do get quite expensive that way as a quality guest post easily cost $20,- to write and in case you offer money then I don't think you have to come up with less then $20 either and obvious the authority sites will laugh you right in the face when you offer them 20 bucks.

So yeah when you add all up it comes easily down to $30+ per link but that way you should be able to get quality links when you hire a decent enough writer that does real research so that the sites find it worth to post and still you don't really have much of a guarantee that it will work out as described above.

Just hiring someone to start placing links on public sites like web2.0's, video sites and the like won't get you far in terms of rankings so that should only be an addition to your link building practices and not the core.

Often it's just more (cost) effective to start buying high PR blog posts or start your own private network in case you have enough money to invest.

Extra: 99% of the people who work on sites like Odesk don't have their own private network and if they do they won't place links on it for $3/hour.

thank for your response nik0,

As a precaution, I also suggest you try to learn as much as you can about SEO before outsourcing it to someone, either a company, a virtual assistant or a freelancer. Just so you'd understand what they're doing and what results you can expect.I think a lot of people who outsource SEO work sometimes get disappointed because they don't really understand the work involved and have unrealistic expectations.

White hat SEO often produces modest results in the short term but in the long run gives good value to your sites with quality links. Creating good content and quality links to your site takes time and requires a serious relationship with your audience. For your content to be linked to and shared, you have to have authority. All these things takes work and time.

So if you're going to outsource SEO, understand enough SEO to know when you're getting good/bad work and the right results in a reasonable amount of time.

thanks john, i appreciate to your participation in my thread.

First of all check the reviews of that outsourced companies, after that finalize the company.

Depends on the budget, check reviews and than choose what suits you.

On freelancer.com and other freelance sites, you have option to check their rating, you should always go with higher rating, it should work.

I would also recommend that you check for reviews then ask for references if you can. It is also important that you ask for their portfolio. You may also let them take a trial test (if you are looking for someone for long term).

The consensus is correct, you should learn everything you can about SEO so you know exactly what tasks you want to outsource, if you hit up one of those cheap providers on fiverr or whatever, and tell them you want "seo" you are going to get screwed. If you know what you need, and know what you are looking for, you can look for someone to do that specific task.
