Anyone know if seomaximus.com is good for linkbuilding

[adulter]

hi guys i find a service seomaximus.com want to know if anyone use it and if its good?

My guess would be NO. Now don't quote me on that for sure, but after visiting their site, to me it smells of a link network like GhostRank (that Matt Cutts and cronies just demolished) and that (a) YES, it would absolutely improve your rankings for a bit but (b) that once it's found it will surely get you an email from Google Webmaster Tools stating that they have found some shady links in your profile.  Granted the (b) scenario isn't as bad as it sounds as they usually just notify you they won't be counting them anymore, but that does not in any way look above board.

When it comes to shady link aquisition which I assume this could be classified under, I think it's always better not to take part. At best you'll get a small boost for a while (maybe even a big one), but it will be short lived because at some point those links will be devalued and you run the risk of getting your site hurt.

And it's kind of like pi$$ing into the wind to some extent.

After looking further, towards the bottom 1/3 of their 1 page site, the My name is Maulana T and his picture is a weird avatar?  I'd stay very far away from them.  He's hiding behind a cartoon character.

I mean, c'mon, their based out of Indonesia (that's kind of a joke, but kind of serious).

this is is not a blog network ot buying links they creat links from web2.0 pdf submision, wiki links , web2.0 profile , edu blogs and more they creat the links they say are white hat links...

[AarcMediaGroup]

GhostRank also claimed their links were white-hat. And believe me when I say they weren't.

I mean, part of their sales pitch is "Rank Any Site With Our Quality 100% Safe BackLinks"

I've never heard of a reputable SEO firm claim you can rank any site through their link building efforts. It's just not a claim in the SEO world you can make, at least not for the price they are doing the links for.

$50 for any link building plan is rarely ever going to help you.  However, I suspect you're just pushing SEOMaximus' service and that this post will be yanked as it smells of spam to me.

[adulter]

no pushing just want to know if is good of anything i am looking for an efective link building service .. white hat and cheap ...and came acros of this and from description look good... but now after what you taled me i am not so confident with them..

[AarcMediaGroup]

In the world of link building, cheap is almost never effective in the long run. Quality link building by its nature is almost never cheap.  If you're looking for cheap, the best thing to do would be to do it yourself. Otherwise you'll have to shell out some decent money in order to get the job done right for you.

understand thanks but can you recomand some good link building services?

[AarcMediaGroup]

A ton of people within this community, us included, provide link building services. I never plug link building services simply because it's a very personal thing. Not everyone's service will fit your particular business model.

You could private message me your details and needs and I could possibly point you in the right direction, whether that be point you to a couple of places we outsource to, or maybe we could help you directly.

But in the end, if you're budget is super-tight, maybe it would be better to be "consulted" on how you can best spend your own time building links. For companies that have very minimal link building budgets, I find just an hour or three of consulting time on how they can effectively link build on their own almost always pays off the best for them.

Hello adulter,

A small clarification here. As Ted said in general software link building techniques must be a no-no for anyone who is building his/her brand on-line. you need to follow the build-content root and stick to it and high quality links will come your way. If however you decide to submit links allow me to suggest you do this manually and not via a software.

Now in regards to seomaximus I will disagree with Ted to a slight extend as the web page you visited is showing as an example a "money web site". Money web sites are normally affiliate web sites, MNS (micro niche web sites) with 1000 searches per month and low competition or sites that are built with a purpose to rank for 2-3 months (for example a xmas shop), get some cash in and then get abandoned. This is their target audience, it is stated on their advert (for those who know about affiliate sites its pretty obvious) and it works really well. If your profile belongs to one of the categories I just mentioned then sure software will do the work. If you are going for a long building strategy as Ted already mentioned NO and STAY AWAY. You will get banned sooner or later and then all your efforts will be abandoned.

When it comes to online marketing people think it must be cheap due to internet's free nature. This is a mistake and a no no. you get what you pay for, same with offline marketing. The more you spend the bigger audience you reach, the more results you bring etc.

Hope this helps

I assumed that he wasn't an affiliate marketer, hence me telling him this service isn't "above board".  Link building for affiliate marketing is exactly what this type of service is for. I didn't read the sales pitch enough to draw the conclusion that they were specifically targeting affiliate marketers, but I suspect you're right.

Either way, we both agree, if he's not an affiliate marketer looking for some quick hit rankings that will very quickly die, then he needs to run from any of the services like this one.

Hey, I still have some MFA sites floating around resulting in Adsense checks each month, so I'm no stranger to the shady link building industry.  I just avoid it like the plague when it comes to my actual ecommerce sites and for our clients. Actually, I avoided it even for my Adsense sites, hence the fact I'm still getting checks, even after not touching them for quite literally years.

very well said...even in the micro niche area now affiliate marketers say "BUILD CONTENT" and treat your money site like a business. Industry is changing, google ban web sites with lots of amazon affilaite links etc. Content is king, period.

btw i assume he is not an affiliate marketer either. i have no idea if thats the case. I just put on my newbie glasses on and remember back in 2000 how I was trying to find a good software to rank me high after my onpage SEO was done lol

i am not affiliate marketing only promote my educational site leed generation tipe of busnisse

Adulter,

Whenever I'm wondering about a site like this, I just pop up the MozBar or use Open Site Explorer. When I see a 15DA and 36 total links, I walk away. I look at it this way - if their techniques work, why aren't they using them on themselves?

Anyone have thoughts on this technique for identifying quality SEO consultants?
