I am currently waiting on a reply from a company that offered us a link building campaign that would be specificly designed to promote one of our clients.
I approached them after hearing their advert on a generic radio station and wondered what they offered.
It turned out that after requesting a sample list of the links that they would build for the client that they were all based in the same area of the country, all designed by the same design agency and the largest page rank was a on screen page rank of 6. An on screen PR of 6 is superb but it was obvious that every client they had built a site for carried good anchor text links back to the designer.
It was therefore a complete waste of everyones time.
Having links is essential but it should be carried out by professionals.
If anyone is pitched such a service request a list of clients and a list of the links that they have generated for that client.
I would then suggest using the link:http://www.domain.com within Google to check the inbound links.
Another good source of website information can be found using the Yahoo Site Explorer here you will be able to see all of a websites inbound links to check against the list you are supplied with.
Remember to always check who links to those links aswell and if you see a reciprocal pattern forming then it's probably not worth it. It shouldn't do you any harm but it probably won't increase your indexing position either.

SMO, Link Building etc etc
OK we've all heard about SMO (Social Media Optimisation) and the all important Inbound Links but what is it and how can it help?
Building inbound links all be it obvious to understand is vitally important into the success of an SEO campaign. I can't find any news or discussions that can 100% say that bad inbound links will reduce your visibility within a search engine but it WON'T increase it. Therefore as it is so time consuming it is best done correctly first time round.
I think it would be wise for people to list the good the bad and the un-ethical suppliers of such a service here as well.
There are tons of companies offering just a link building campaign so I'm sure we can get a healthy list together.
Again - the views of others do not necessarily reflect the views of Total Search Solutions but I will follow up any comments and allow the companies to have their say.
Social Media Optimisation is another area which is hugely important into the success of an SEO campaign the benefits for gettting it right are huge.
This blog for example is No.3 on Google for Working SEO Techniques amongst 1.8 million other pages.
SMO deployed well will create huge amouns of links, traffic, page tank and then of course the higher ranking will take place.
The 3 busiest websites in the UK are Myspace, Bebo and Facebook and all 3 of them are huge viral marketing platforms
The smallest of the 3 has over 30,000,000 active memebers and is growing fast. Not utilising this space means you are missing out.
I found this blog to be very useful SMO Blog and should be adhered to if you are not using an external agency.
Anyone had good or bad experiences with SMO or SMO agencies?
