I used an Indian SEO agency before , and have found them to be very thorough.
The quality of links I’m gaining is not exceptional, but I employ them for volume, not quality, and this was agreed upfront with the agency prior to commencement.

I use an Indian SEO agency, and have found them to be very thorough. Okay, the quality of links I’m gaining is not exceptional, but I employ them for volume, not quality, and this was agreed upfront with the agency prior to commencement.

On the above note, dont try to tell me that it is ALL about quality. A combination of link volume and a smaller number of great quality links is the best tactic, and has been proven time and time again.

As long as all parties are clear from the start, and deliver what they promise, I see no problem.

I have been using a freelance link builder in India for the past three months for some micor sites as a bit of and experiment. I would have preferred a UK person but all the quotations were for £15 per link and minimum 6 month contracts. I pay about £100 for 350 links from the freelance person on India. Running a report indicates that they are good quality. However I would avoid a Indian company as you cannot control the quality.

This is an absolutely terrible article and is backed up with no proof. The reason link building is so successful and ripe in India is because of economies, the same reason why call centres are outsourced to India.

This is a typical attitude of UK agencies who as Chris correctly points will do anything to get their slice of the cake. Let’s see some positive solid link building advice, rather than an ill thought out scaremongering approach.

Caveat Emptor is the primary rule whenever dealing with SEO services of any kind. That’s not to say there aren’t really good, legitimate and competent providers out there, but they are probably a minority since most of them try to cut costs as much as possible, meaning they outsource to various foreign countries. That’s a rule worldwide, so keep an eye out and do research before buying, just like a good consumer.

I am afraid this is a trite post awash with many tired SEO cliches and obvious “money for old rope” style information.

It is also backed up with no evidence, and happens to be a flacid, marginally racist and ignorant thought leadership post with which I am thoroughly disgusted.

The primary reason many of these services are so cheap is down to the cost of living in their particular geographic area. It is fear that enables such opinions as this to thrive. Fear of Globalization, fear of loss of business. Instead of lashing out ( like a politician ), one would do well to evolve. Caveat Emptor is advice that should be used regardless of which company you choose to do business with. A UK company does NOT instantly gain more credibility than an Indian company, as your post would suggest.

Additionally, check out the numerous resources online regarding how to prevent your email address from being harvested. This may assist such hatemongering from manifestation in the future.

I thoroughly agree with this post. Beware! Some UK companies offer link building services but outsource to India. It’s quality not quantity.
