4 Myths about Link Building Services

December 12, 2008

Link building services no doubt help increase search engine ranking results. At one time some SEO experts thought link building was the number one method to get better search engine results. We now know better.

To get the most effective use of link building services, we dispel 4 myths for you.

Myth #1: All Link Building Services Cost Money

False. Businesses can do their own link building free of charge, unless they opt to pay for featured links on a link directory. A business can pay an SEO firm to do the link building for them either manually or through use of a paid service.

Myth #2: Implementing Link Building Services is not Valuable.

False. Search engine crawlers want to see a company’s Web address in more places, so it can verify and acknowledge your credibility. The more times robots pick up your URL, the more likely you will see better search engine rankings.

Myth #3: Using paid link building services is considered unethical SEO.

False. Although the debate continues whether using paid and reciprocal links gets you better search engine results, it is still easier to build credibility and presence using any kind of link building service. And it is less time consuming to pay for link building services each month than to manually input link text into individual link directories. However, if a business does decide to pay for link building services, once the monthly payment stops so does all the link building and most services will remove your URL from the link directory.

Myth #4: The best link directories are the ones with the most links.

False. The best link building services include link directories with the highest page rank and/or Alexa.com rating. Check both of these and whether they have renewed their hosting (some expire and don’t renew).
