They will tell you that the only way to get quality backlinks is to find the high-quality sites in your niche and get a backlink from them.  Yeah, you go do that while I use link building services to boost my rankings at a much reduced price.

These same experts will also tell you that footer links are ineffective, too.I have big time proof that this is utterly wrong.

People are much more internet-savvy now, and that’s why some of the SEO companies are going out of business or losing clients.It’s becoming more difficult to locate clients who are willing to pay $5,000.00/month just to brand their company name on the Internet, or to rank well for their one e-commerce site.

What more and more people are realizing is that you can leverage exisiting traffic networks for quality link building that produces results.

If there’s one thing that these self-serving SEOs are correct about, it’s that footer links are ineffective when compared to mid-page links. That is the reason that footer links have to come in great quantities if they are to work at all.  That’s also why you see savvy website owners giving blog themes away for free. If you go to a blog and see what theme they’re using it usualy links to a high traffic and high page-rank site.

The Search Engine Optimization companies and SEO bloggers are right when they say that a three-way link building service has diminished value these days.  That’s why you need to use a 3-way links service for sites that are on auto-pilot mode for you and focus on getting links from other sources.

In my opinion you don’t need to hire an expensive SEO firm or link building company to build your links for you.  Use a 3-way links service to get some low-quality, low-benefit links to your site, then use some article marketing/syndication services to get links from related sites.
