Yes, link building is important in many ways and for many purposes. But you don't know what (or who) to believe, or where to spend your time and money. 

Let my 17 years of link building experience hejp you.  It will save you far more in the long run. I've seen just about every linking related tactic there is, good, bad, and ugly. And though I don't put much emphasis on search rankings alone, I know some of you reading this do. So let's have a look. Google the phrase link building expert. 

The fastest way to reach me is to pay for a live site evaluation and linking potentials phone call, as described below.  I triage my client work in this way because I'm a one person operation, and aside from link building, I write columns, a blog, do webinars, speaking engagements and link building training sessions.  I also serve as Chief Link Evangelist at AdGooroo, where I'm helping create Link Insight. And I have three kids. 

Book Session via PayPal now

If you prefer an invoice, you can request it via email.

Includes: 
75 minutes by phone with live via screen sharing, one-on-one
I use my tools and do some backlink analysis while we talk
You ask questions, I ask some back, I give answers, advice, and strategies
I explain what I'd do if your site were mine, from a link building perspective, based on my experience helping hundreds of sites over 15 years
I send you a report of the notes, ideas, recommendations, and advice we discussed on the phone.

More about the Live Site Evaluation 

We will talk together for an hour and fifteen minutes, while looking at your site, and I'll do some proprietary link analysis in real-time as we talk. You can ask questions, and I'll tell you what I'd do if the site were mine, based on my 15+ years of experience. After this call, I send you a written summary, including notes, ideas, recommendations, URLs, and specific advice discussed.

After this call, at your request I will determine via my linking analytics tools if I can have the kind of impact that would merit a full blown proposal for ongoing link building work.  If I feel I can help you, I will create a custom proposal for you.  If I feel you are better off going in another direction, I will tell you so and explain why.  My ultimate goal is not to make myself $500, but to help you be successful.

I'll provide one week of private IM along with a private email address to reach me with any questions about your linking and publicity strategies. 

I respond quite fast when I receive the email notification sent from PayPal or Google. That's not intended to be harsh, it's just the reality of becoming one of the most respected people in my niche.  I'm very selective with regards to whom I offer my merit based link building services, and stay booked to such a degree that this is the best way to determine who is serious as well as who I can help. 

Thanks for your time.
