The need for inbound links has created a new business opportunity in the search engine optimizationindustry. The outsourcing of link building emerged from the fact that many inbound links mean a highsearch engine ranking and/or a high Google PageRank.

There are many different ways of building inbound links. Outsourcing this tasks can save the webmastera lot of time but it comes with a price tag. Businesses offering to take over the link building processoften maintain and operate a large network of domains and websites and just add 'your' link to theirsites. These sites are often referred to as link farms.

Others buy links on 3rd party websites for you. They often have build up a portfolio of websites/webmastersthey work with. The quality of these links is often questionable and a long-term benefit does not exist.It either continues to cost the webmaster money to keep the links alive or his website might get punishedby Google and other search engines if the linking websites are recognized as part of commercial searchengine spamming. Punished means that either the link to a site does not have any value at all or dependingon the situation the site linked to gets removed from the search engine index (worse case scenario) ifother factors are involved that lead to the conclusion that search engine spamming is going on.

Outsourcing of link building also takes away the control of who is linking to a website from the webmaster.The webmaster usually just pays for X number of links but there is no option to have industry relatedwebsites link to his site (= increased value of a link). It is also difficult to verify how many linksto a website have really been established from the service provider. Another difficulty is to verifyhow long the established links are staying in place. The danger of being over-charged is very high.

Since link building has become a profitable business opportunity search engines are aware of what isgoing on and are putting countermeasures in place. These are not things visible to the webmaster or explainedon the search engines website. These are factors that are worked into the algorithm. Search engines usethe human control factor more and more often to increase the value of the search index. Chances are thatif a webmaster uses an outsourced link building strategy that at one point the campaign value goes south(turns sour).

Inbound link building should be an organic process that shows a slowly increasing number of links pointingto a certain website. Getting a high number of inbound links within a very short period will raise awarning flag at search engines. Honest webmasters will stay away from these tactics to avoid puttingthe success of a website at risk when there are better ways of building inbound links.
