    In the never ending search to increase the number of links into my sites, I have been searching for other companies that provide link building opportunities.

    I’ve been using Directory Maximizer for some time now & am pleased with the service that they have provided. However, I have submitted Cashback Shopper to all the directories that they have had available (nearly 1500) & it’s still not enough :o (

    A recent comparison found that my cashback site competitors main advantage over me is the number of links they have pointing to their sites. Whilst quality of links is also important, the fact that many of the top sites have 10 times the number of links is highly relevant, as is the number of links they have from social networks:

    Number of inbound links according to these search engines (the more the better)

    So, it seems I still have some way to go to make Cashback Shopper a top 10 site!! My SEO partner offers a top 10 Google guarantee for their SEO package, but because the amount of on page SEO I can do is limited on this site, their link building option may be a better bet – it certainly worked for “cashback sites”, but at a cost of £10 per link, it’s not the cheapest option out there!

    Searching through Google results for directory submission service brought me to Submit2Please which despite sounding like some dodgy fetish club (lol), is actually a One Way Link Building Services Provider. They offer:

    Directory Submission
    Article Submission
    Social Bookmarking
    Monthly Submissions
    Press Release Distribution
    Combo Package
    Local Search Optimization
    Niche Directory Submission
    Link Building
    Featured Listing Program

    I’m initially planning to use the Social Bookmarking package, which will hopefully get me some more links from these well respected authority sites. At $49.95 for social bookmarks on 150 PR 4 and above sites, they certainly seem worth the money rather than me spend 3 days doing it myself!

    If this goes well, I shall then consider the directory submission service, which tops out at with submission to 700 Various PR Directories for $124.95. Following my last experience of an article writing service, I’m not sure about this, but article submission would certainly provide useful links!

    Of course, this focus is on Cashback Shopper, but should the results prove tangible, I will consider using these services for some of my other sites too. But hey, there’s only so much money to throw around :o O
