      Well, i see that we need 200mozpoints to be able to put our Website Link (DOFOLLOW) into our profile in SEOMOZ.. the way i know it, it would be a good BackLink for my site.

      Here is the questions, please do answer from top to bottom, because if you have answered "NOT GOOD" for the first question, then the rest of the question will definitely be "NOT GOOD" too

      Every single back link source i used below (for question #2 and #3), comes from a good domain (it is an extremely wellknown website in Indonesia)

      1. Is the DOFOLLOW link from my SEOMOZ Profile Page , a good back link?

      2. is the DOFOLLOW from http://www.indonesiaindonesia.com/m4g1c14n a good back link

      3. is the DOFOLLOW from http://www.kaskus.us/member.php?u=10407 (click the Contact Info), a good back link?

      okay, only if you answered the first 3 questions with "It is a good backlink, and it will definitely help your SEO Standing for your site", then i ask you my real question..

      i was planning to use the service from http://www.monsterbacklinks.com , and i asked them to show me what kind of "High Quality Backlink" they will be giving me, here is their reply, 10 examples of profile they use to backlink to one of their client

      In my eyes, all of those links are as good as the one link coming from SEOMOZ Profile, hell in fact i have already purchased from them the 750 High Quality BackLink package (cost 197$), but my PayPal is being lock down just now, because i login to my account from both my cellphone and pc (they think my account is hacked)...

      so will i increase my SEO Standing if i used their service? if they are, i will finalized my purchase tomorrow (after i settled the problem with paypal)

      Their FAQ Page is also very convincing .. such these 2 questions

      Will I get penalized for paying you to do my backlinks?

      There is no way you will get penalized for paying us to do your backlinks. It is possible to get penalized for paying people to put links on their sites but that's not what you're buying from us. When purchasing from us you are paying us to place thousands of free backlinks. There is absolutely no way Google can penalize you for this.

      Will Google ban/sandbox me for getting so many backlinks?

      We have never had any problems with getting sanboxed or banned by google. None of our customers have had any problems either. If our methods of placing backlinks were to get a site penalized or banned then we would be sending thousands of links towards our competitors sites. But since our methods work great for increasing search engine rankings, we would never use our backlinking on our competitors because that will damage our rankings and boost theirs.

      Please enlighten me 🙂

        Basically, you want to stop worrying about do-follow and no-follow and go for relevance. You also want to look at citations and mentions as well because there is much more at work with Social SEO than there once was.

        On the other note, try not to pay anyone else to submit and try to gain you backlinks unless it is part of an agreed SEO program. My advice here is to walk away and just create great content that will see you getting linked to.

        Also, be active in Social Media to build your reputation and standing.

        Regards,

        Andy

          yeah i like your answer... in an ideal world , i would be doing that . The problem is our compatitor such as this one http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.niadesain.com , is having a lot of links (thousands) coming from a lot worse spam site, and yet, they are doing extremely well in SERP 😞 ... trully, my site serves an infinitely better content compared to that site, but the backlinks they had from all those spam site is tremendous. And of course i dont plan to get a backlink from any spam site, but my example here is that the links come from a perfectly good site...

          I am hopeful, that at least, although i am paying something, that i would be able to compete agains those that employ the use of spam site 😞

            I'm afraid I would never condone the use of such a service because at some point, Google is going to look at these in more detail and see hundreds of back-links from non-relevant sites and directories and will act accordingly, as only Google can.

            I understand your frustration, but bide your time, get some great content written and go social with it 🙂

              When you are saying go social with it.. does it mean i should try to publish my content through facebook ? or it is the other one, that i need to publish the content through some blog / website ?

              but all the links coming out of facebook is even worse the NOFOLLOW links x_x, it is a redirect and will that help my linkbuilding mission? O.o;

                Dont worry about follow and no follow. just concentrate on getting yourself spread as wide as possible. Tweet, Digg, Like, InShare, +1 et al. Get your articles out to as many places as possible 🙂

                  But... hmmm so i should also start writing article inside my company website...

                  hmmm interesting idea.. perhaps i should start writing article about technique that might interest people? or just write anything? most of the time, when i write in my company's website, i always try to weight if this article will benefit my company or not... perhaps i should try to think "will this article interesting for the viewer..."

                  Perhaps i should be writing more Tutorials for my own website 😐

                  Hmmm a good food for thought indeed 🙂

                  Thanks a lot

                    Create a blog and write on subjects you are knowledgable about and that are on-topic for your website. Send these out via social channels and you will reap the rewards 🙂
