Your are right if a few links are involved then it's worth personal time, However, we outsource and for a mere £50 per site per month she does our link-building on a daily basis.
A waste of money. Link building this was has been discredited for years.

Is Pentech Moulding in your profile one of the sites you're paying this person for?
Blimey! I've seen some bad sites over the years. This isn't the worse but it's pretty close.

@PentechMoulding - stop paying this thief to build pointless links and use the money on some proper marketing and SEO help.

Thanks for your feedback.

So are you saying "Backlinks" are not important to bring your site up in SERPS, From what I know
Backlinks "DO FOLLOW LINKS" are basically votes from other websites. Each of these votes tells search engines: “This content is valuable, credible, and useful”.

So the more of these “votes” you have, the higher your site will rank in Google and other search engines

Or maybe you can shade some light to this which will be a learning curve for me.
Let's leave aside any comments about the actual website of Pentech Mouldings, which is built on a 14 year old, non-responsive WordPress theme and focus only on your links.

The majority, perhaps all, of the backlinks that your £50 a month link builder has given you are from various directories - like article directories. These directories contain page after page of links pointing to different websites in all sorts of sectors.

This used to be common practice amongst 'black hat' (or just ignorant) SEO practitioners in an effort to improve rankings. To combat this, Google introduced something called the 'Penguin Update' in 2012. This update eliminated any ranking benefit from such links and introduced algorithmic penalties for sites found to be using link schemes to manipulate rankings.

You've been lucky.

Not only is your £50 a month a complete waste of time but it puts your site in the danger zone for a penalty. The only surprise is that you haven't already got one! If you do, it'll cost you a lot more than £50 to get things put right.

He says he has 20 sites. £50 x 20 = £1000/month! Even if @PentechMoulding isn't paying for all it's still a big chunk of wasted money. I could live off £1000/month.

    Well worth it cheaper than paying one of our staff in the UK.

    We use AISEO on all our sites and is very easy to control plus lot of other features.
    I've been looking at AISEO and RankMath. I prefer to just stick to the same plugins if I can. What's been your experience of AISEO?

    Thank you for your feedback.

    We tried RankMath but found AISEO to be very user-friendly and have multi-license and currently, it is used on all our live websites.

    Thank you for your opinion.

    It may be a waste of money looking from your end but for us revenue ROI is all that says about our investment..

    We are not newbies at this game and for you making an extra £1000 or more per month is feasible follow your passion and take action

    Thank you for your feedback.

    First, the Pentech Moulding site is 24 years previously domain name was registered with an Italian company then we moved to a UK firm.

    Like many negative opinions on this board about our website do not make any difference to our efforts or where we invest, Like once MR WARREN BUFFET said don't reinvent if something is working for you don't change it, he had a very old site which was generating revenue for him and he said i don't care what others say.

    This 24-year-old so-called UGLY site brings new customers every month and it generates enough revenue that pay our overheads, staff salaries and so on which matters the most than opinions from others who do understand the importance of staying in business WHICH we have sustained ourselves for the last 34 years in the UK.

    Thank you

    If AIOSEO was a good plugin, it would probably be highlighting that it's not best practice to have three H1 titles on a page. It's part of the reason that you don't rank for 'plastic injection moulding'.

    That’s all good @PentechMoulding. But consider that a better website could generate far more income.

    However, this doesn’t detract from the fact that spending £50/month per site is just a waste of money. The ROI is zero. Your ranking and traffic is independent of your link building.

    The Berkshire Hathaway website is famously old school.

    If Warren Buffet did say that, I doubt he was advising you never to update your own website. You might be confusing re-invent with update.

    Some crazy outdated ideas being expounded on here!

    @PentechMoulding, what traffic and sales/lead generating keywords do you think your Pentech site ranks well for and do you know how many leads they bring in?

    I am not in a position to disclose our sales/lead-generating keywords we use in the public domain.

    The keywords we use are different from our competitors and are aimed at bringing in UK customers only

    Yes, I prefer OLD SCHOOL METHODS.

    No confusion SIR, I know many of our competitors running old websites some with HTML formats and they are generating revenues, some of whom i personally know.

    Opinions are just Opnions they can be manipulating at times for personal gain.

    If you don't want to be busier and continue to grow your business, then fair enough. But surely you can look at your own website and think to yourself ... 'yeah it's a bit crap'. I can assure you, plenty of other people will.

    Your SEO efforts are wasted because you don't ask questions or take advice. A wise man once told me "when you know everything, there's nothing left to learn"

    All well and good @PentechMoulding but this discussion centres around your assertion that link building adds value. It doesn’t. At least not in the way you describe.

    And if you updated your website and demonstrated increased growth you could sell the business for a lot more.

    But those methods when applied to your website are affecting your ranking negatively. As @Fagin2021 has pointed out your old school methods are about as wrong as it gets.

    Sorry to be so blunt so close to your retirement but the whole world of websites (including Google) has moved on massively in the last 20+ years. What worked back then doesn't work anymore.

    No SIR Not being silent some of us have to work to make a living for many people in the organization and I don't think I need to communicate with you because of the difference in our opinions.

    Good luck with your ventures

    I thought this board was professional and followed forum etiquette but maybe I was wrong, in my journey of online ventures, I have been a member on various subject forums and everyone respects members and doesn't get personal and get carried away with their opinions

    Then a friend on that forum told me making a website without promoting is like sticking a leaflet in the toilet, so learned about SEO on page "Keyword, Meta Tag, and so on" off-page backlinks, and in a very short time my site was in serps first page.

    Now we make our e-commerce or static websites on the WordPress platform, we have invested a small amount of revenue buying relevant plugins and themes including paid version of AISEO plus a tag plugin, all our websites are SEO'ed offline and online and basically, we outsource someone to do backlinks with high authoritative sites which cost around £50 per month per site and almost every website of ours is on first page of google in 2 or 3 positions for our targetted keywords and we maintain this progress every month.

    PS: The other useful tool i came across is "Keywords Everywhere" which has a minimal cost, this is an add-on to the Firefox browser well worth it.

    It's a bit difficult to respect a wrong opinion. Everything you've said in this thread regarding SEO techniques & strategy is wrong. It isn't working for you, so why would you share it on a forum and then try to defend it. It's a forum where people share their thoughts. Expect to get told when you're wrong.

    Alright well since nobody else has mentioned it.

    You big yourself up on this forum to be the worlds best and don't need anymore business. Why are you filing micro accounts at companies house?

    Maybe take some feedback on board from people on here rather than thinking your really crappy website is the best in the world.

    There is nothing personal about the posts in this thread. The opinions are the result collectively of many years of experience. We may know nothing about injection moulding but we do know a lot about websites, marketing and SEO. You have chosen to refute the given advice without cause. This is your loss. It makes no difference to any of us if you listen or not.
