Nolo.com or bbb.org for link building?

[musillawfirm]

Has anyone used nolo.com's directory and do you think it is worth it for link building?

How about bbb.org

I run www.musillawfirm.com

thanks in advance

If you have a law firm then being listed at nolo.com is pretty valuable. You get two links it looks like, your profile and then your city/category you show up for. I would definitely pursue a link there.

bbb.org is a very authoritative site. getting a link here would be great as well.

Were you considering not getting links from these sites? Or do they charge a fee and you are wondering if the fee is worth it?

I've had good experience with a link from BBB - never used nolo.com

Shortly after joining and becoming "accredited" they appeared as the #7 result for our company name which has a nice connotation especially if your company has a good grade.  Definitely worth the cost.

nolo charges a significant fee - 155 a month - or 1800 for 2 years

bbb.org charges as well - but I haven't spoken to their rep.

That's pretty steep. You have to think about more thank link value too though. People looking for a lawyer may find you in the nolo directory. it may be expensive but it is a pretty fantastic link. Maybe do all the other stuff first, see how well you can do in the rankings, and when you're looking for something to put you over the top, try getting a link then. If you can get to the top without it, then great, you saved yourself some cash.

Do you recall what the cost was? I'm considering it for a few of our clients.
