In the past, I’ve paid for other people to do my link building for me.  It’s cheap, effective, and allows you to spend your time doing important stuff (like quality content creative).  Plus, who actually wants to spend 10 hours in front of the computer doing mindless directory submissions?  I sure don’t.

Last week I found a guy to submit this blog to 100 ‘dofollow’ social media bookmarking sites.  He charged me $25.  I told him to use the anchor text “getting more visitors to your website.”  Just a few days after he finished his submissions, I searched Google and I was suddenly #1 for that phrase.  $25 well spent.

My opinion is that outsourcing things like this is 100% well worth it.  Here’s the rundown:

You can outsource directory submission cheaply.

You can outsource article writing cheaply (though you should submit it yourself to make sure it’s done properly)

You can outsource social bookmarking cheaply.

You can outsource blog commenting cheap.

These things are all things that should be done for any website.  They can really help kick start your site’s launch.  If those services are what you need, then find an Indian team (search Digital Point forums) as they will be cheapest.
