Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for the heads up, I was really unsure about this as well but really glad I saved my money by not buying into it! Matt

Hey tcolling! Whatever you decide, I would guard against looking for a "good deal" in terms of price. REAL, quality link building efforts that have the potential to drive real results for you is not going to be cheap. If you have the budget, I would consult with Eric Ward before you do anything. He is THE expert in the field and can provide a great consultation for you that details the type of outreach and specific targets that will benefit your efforts the most. Eric had a quote somewhere that went something like this... Links can do 1 of 4 things: a) help search rankings b) help drive quality web traffic c)neither d)both I'd make sure whomever you use is focused on link acquisition efforts designed to do both. THOSE are the links that Google generally values the most anyways. There are many people who would be happy  (myself included) to provide link building services, but anyone who does it the RIGHT way will need a fairly large time investment to do so (especially since you are dealing with multiple sites). I would say $1000/month/site would be a realistic starting point for someone qualified to produce for you. Link building is no longer a manipulative task centered around manual link placement. It IS a process of outreach, networking, relationship building and research that (when done properly) can drive business to your sites, increase brand awareness and drive search rankings!

I'm really sorry that you had a rough time reaching us over chat! The launch of Moz Analytics has increased our average reply time from a few hours to a day, and in some cases that's meant we haven't had as much time to provide live chat. If someone requests a call over email, we'll try to offer an answer in the reply email, but then also offer to schedule a call so you get service the way you want it. Unfortunately, hiring enough people to provide good phone support for every customer is expensive and makes scaling our product to a lot of people very difficult. We needed to limit phone support to billing-related issues in order to provide faster service to everyone, not just those who called in. We should have clear messaging about our phone number on invoices and in the billing area of an account. I'll investigate and make sure it's still there! Again, I'm sorry for the hassle. Thank you for letting us know and let me know if you have any other questions.

Yep! That should work!! No quicker way that I can think of for now. We may add CSV exports to the Add & Manage Keywords page at some point as well. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Miranda Rensch - Product Manager

In that case have the contact and disavow plan on tap and ready to execute if needed. Google doesn't want you to just disavow links that they think are bad; they want you to go through the process of attempting to get them removed. Even if you know there is a 0% chance, you'll have to do it and document your process. There are a couple of good YouMoz posts detailing this.

Thanks for pointing out that article.  I appreciate your help.

So glad I could help figure out the issue! Let us know if you need any other assistance. -Chiaryn

No problem, I'm more than glad to help. Enjoy your weekend.

I normally work on around 60 days (or two runs of the crawler)
