What are the differences of SEO Specialist and Link Builder?

[fisicx]

The links we "earn" are much higher quality than the ones we can lazily buy.

Maybe, but if you buy a link that earns you a lot of money then that can have a higher value.

Nothing in life is free. The "free" in this discussion is about buying a link as opposed to earning it. The links we "earn" are much higher quality than the ones we can lazily buy.

So if i buy facebook and the bbc and redirect them to my website your worked for links are better than mine?

I can't believe you seriously posted that.

I can't believe you seriously posted that.

Just an extreme example.

I buy domains with great stats/links going to them. You 'outreach' (effectively pay) for posts on other peoples websites. I don't understand why you think yours are better lol

Sounds like you're just trying to blow your own trumpet.

No, I tried to tell you and others that requesting links via spam email will fail for obvious reasons already pointed out in this forum. Why would that offend you so much huh?

You seem very bitter about something

Didn't I say before that I don't pay for my links, probably cos other websites love me and want to link to solid, useful content. Google likes useful sites, not that I do it for Google, I do it cos I can.

I assume therefore you have paid for all of your links...which Google classes as spam.

I think adwords is the biggest link seller, yet they welcome paid links which are all spam, cos you say so! I love seeing SEO consultants struggle to argue, its like if they struggle with that, then who wants them to keyword a site or write comments - oh man.

Do you check the SERPs pages before you buy so you are assured of quality?

Bro, looks like to dont distinguish organic search result from paid search results.

Does it matter? Whichever one generates the most money it the better solution.

Suppose you have a one week sales. Paid for links (including adverts) will get the massage out there faster and more effectively than working on SEO.

Or suppose you have a new product. Paying for links will shift the product faster than waiting for organic ranking.

Nothing wrong with paying for links if it earns you money. Google may disavow the links at some point but by that time you could have earned a large wodge of cash.

Yes it's really matters. Reading your post looks like you're another one, that don't understand what is "paid link" in SEO meaning.

1. When you pay for Google Adwords links, you just get instant traffic via those links to your target URL. But those links have nothing to your website ranking in organic search result.

2. When you pay some random webmaster to put your link into his website, you're not expecting for traffic (99%) but for piece of authority and pass some Page Rank. It allows to improve your domain position into organic search result. Unlike point no 1, there is inevitable delay to achieve better position and more traffic.

Google dont like practices described at point 2.

Paid link (in SEO meaning) means you didn't receive backlink because your website deserved it and someone recommends you without profits, but you need to pay for it and you create an artificial value for users even if your website and services are lower than average or totally sucks.

I understand exactly what a paid for link is in SEO meaning (sic). Google may not like the practice but it works. I'm in the business of making money. If I can pay for a link that generates more money than the link cost me then it's a good thing.

The links we "earn" are much higher quality

not for a tradesmans website there not. Why would a high authority site want to link to a 'retail shop' site? no reason to as the authority site has more links, its status is superior etc. The value must be equal or thereabouts for both parties to get value or traffic etc.

Most sites are pitiful sales brochures trying to eek out the next sale or mfa's or some crap like that.

I ran a forum once and the link quality it was getting was shocking, even though was packed full of useful content - the web has changed from a helpful resource to a FFA style, ego loving, selfish, pull the ladder up jack - self-serving, money grabbing, lying, deceptive, worshipful me-too scripted sites joke - compared to what it used to be.

Used to be great and easy to get quality links, now its just a big mess of overcrowded sellers mugging off the next poor sod.

'links earnt are more valuable' is laughable. I can buy links anywhere (as anyone can for enough££££), easy to spot the 'dodgy' reporters by the spammy gmail addresses on their linkedin profiles. Throw them around a grand via western union and they'll do what you like.
If I decide to spend £4-500 on a link from the guardian then it doesn't mean its less value than any of your 'outreach' links just because I happened to pay for it.

Don't personally buy links like that unless its mostly for the traffic anyway as 'guest posts' etc do fuk all in my tests as theres no power on the page. Hence me buying a lot of my spammy websites.
Can guarantee you most big brands are link building, who do you think it is jacking up the price of powerful expired/expiring domains on godaddy?
