10 Tips for Training a Link Developer
Online marketing information can change quickly This article is 18 years and 200 days old, and the facts and opinions contained in it may be out of date.
Link development has changed. Links pages suck. Your reciprocal link value is defiintely goin’ down hill. You can outsource all day long and gain very little value from it. Roll with the changes, and stay ahead of the curve. Get yourself a qualified link developer and let them negotiate online media like a marketing manager would do with print, radio, or other medias. This is a valuable job. Most SEO’s started as link serfs that realized the value in getting the RIGHT links because of the indirect correlations to search rankings. If you rely on the web for your business, there is no good reason not to have someone in-house working on attaining links for you.
