SEO Packages & Companies - Who or what do you use?
I am constantly setting up new sites projects that are based around real business. Its either subscription based credit card checkouts or its lead gen for my own business.
These are no MFA sites or anything spammy. Real content. Real business.
All the IM forums are spammed with SEO packages and companies but what is really worth it and whats not? The SEO game changed radically over the last few months and i am totally out of the loop.
What i need is someone to take on a few of my sites and get them ranked. I dont mind spending money on so called SEO packages if they turn out to be worth it.
The niches i am in are not very competitive so it wont cost a fortune to get them ranked ( i guess ).
I'd appreciate if you could recommend some SEO company or some SEO packages you had success with

We can rank sites, guaranteed. I usually do $1,600 for a guaranteed first page ranking (usually above the fold) in any niche - we will get it done or your money back, every time. Can def do better for my STM brothers in arms though!
Let's talk... skype zealcaiden
EDIT: Please mention STM in your skype intro... I get a lot of adds on a daily basis. Thanks!

Just about. Case by case basis...
I'm not focused on SEO these days but the team I have trained with some other SEO BOSSES are still full-time. For insane niches and keywords I would oversee the camps myself and obviously charge much more (eg how to lose fat, best auto insurance, etc) but I'm not doing that anymore. However I can make some introductions if it's above my current paygrade. ;-)

forums are the best to find providers...
3 steps to finding quality SEO providers:
1) go to a forum like wicked fire buy and sell section
2) sort threads by views or posts
3) read through the sorted top threads and the feedback in the thread
for #3, just ignore the posts of the op and people who posts thank you's... those are meaningless. look for ranking changes, screenshots, actual serp movements... that will tell you something about the service being offered

If you are interested in rev share I can take a look. No client work though unless you are an SEO firm.
To do it yourself:
Analyze the content lifecycle of blog post/article type content in your space.
Look at an article 1 month after it was published, an article after 3 months or so and then an article after 6 months. This is your per content piece promotional schedule if possible.
Try to out publish your competitors on a daily basis. In highly competitive niches we are publishing 30+ content pieces a day on page.
Set up a social factor/link drip based upon the averages you found during your content life cycle research.
The only clients I have kept are increasing their organic traffic by at least 30% a month with this method.
The bastard/easy way to do this is to hire a writer at $1-2 per curated post.. have them set up a listening platform via Google Reader and Feedly and do a mixture of rewrites and curated post.
When the content is curated it should get @mentioned to the original writer and hashed for the proper channels.
Push the feed through OnlyWire or write a Yahoo Pipe to publish to twitter, and feed facebook from your twitter account. Set up multiple twitter accounts to retweet your tier 1 twitter accounts. Those second tier twitter accounts should also tweet a few related google alert feeds. Again, remember to feed a facebook from each twitter account.
As for the link portion I like to extend my content off page. I use a combo of my own networks,j some private stuff I am a member of and web 2.0 but you can utilize just parasites etc... drop a second tier to that and a third tier of links to the second and run the stuff through lindexed or something.
Your tier 1 content should then get run through pinterest, which should then flow into a twitter/facebook pyramid and get dropped into the curation sites like storify and scoop.it. The initial pins should go through a series of repin/likes and comments.
The key here is to drop badass content once a month on top of everything else. Do a wrap up or "Top" list and put video, info/quote graphic, toons, motion graphics etc into it. Submit every content item and grab the top rankers for your terms and pull a backlink report for them. Find some common link ground and tailor your "Badass" content to these common link givers. Find some reasons to strike a conversation... I like to try to look for errors or typos and just let people know then let your flowerly personality take over.
Keep up the content publishing and do a round of outreach as often as need to keep your link type/variation below threshold.
Hope this made a little bit of sense or helps.

Black Hole 2.0 (BHW) worked fine for me, but that game is too slow

That is a good package but is going to be an iffy right now dependent upon their content quality at the top tier
If the original poster is looking for a link diagram (which should only be 1 part of your campaign) below is a bit of what I use for the SEO firms that buy my services.
Offpage Tier 1:
Edu Links
Manual Web 2.0
PDF/Doc
Curation Sites
Video Submission
PAD File
Screensavers
Social Factor/Bookmark Drip - The level is directly dependent upon your content production and analytics
Manual Targeted Blog/Shit Links
Select Wiki Drops
OffPage Tier 2:
Spun SENuke blasts
Curation Sites
RSS Mashup - Submission
Social Bookmarking
Huge blog comment blasts
Forum Profile
Web 2.0 Profile
AMR Blasts
Wiki Blasts
Offpage Tier 3:
Lindexed
Linklicious
Here’s a little about how I do my shit.
I build the off page drip based upon content lifecyle research. If you find the right velocity you will be fine as long as you keep tier 1 legit. I always build links at pages I can dispose of easily or through 301's if the method is not 100% "White hat". Most of the penalties right now are page based so if you can kill the page the links point at you can get a positive refresh or submit re-inclusion request.
My private domain based link networks are structured like silos. Tier 1 site categories get extended like so:
Onpage Tier 1:
Silo A: imabullshitinternetmarketingguru.com/seo
Silo B: imabullshitinternetmarketingguru.com/ppc
Offpage Tier 2:
Silo A:
bullshitseo.com
linkbuildingissoblackhat.com
infographicspam101.com
Silo B:
ppcconversionoptimizing.com
settingupyouradwordsaccount.com
howtospendyourwholeppcbudgetwithoutasingleconversi on.com
Offpage Tier 3"
Silo A:etc
Silo B:etc
Offpage Basement Tier:
Content mashup from yoru controlled properties. If your network is not large enough bring in outside content.
Depending on market Tier 2 might end up being original content, but by tier 3 or 4 I am usually recycling the higher tier content through domains that are RSS driven.... I like to do google alert feeds, yahoo answer etc mixed in with feeds from my higher tiered sites. At the very bottom everything gets mashed up again and spit out to social media basement profiles.
Social Media Landscape:
The set of social accounts I am working on for a new venture right now is as follows:
A Set of “Branded” Social Media accounts for every site – Twitter, Facebook, Pitnerest and + at a min.
This shit and site content gets feed out randomly to:
500 pinterest accounts - linked to twitter - these are set in tiers so that shit gets repinned/liked/commented
1k twitter - again set in tiers and retweeting/auto tweeting like I said in the above post - linked to facebook
Matching facebook for the twitter accounts.
700 Google accounts
I am using onlywire for the social drive. This network has 2.5 writers at a goal of 20 content pieces each a day and one fulltime link builder.
The daily content is weighted to tier 1 but flows down into the 2nd and 3rd tier. That coupled with the syndicated off page content, allows me to do curation type sites, social bookmarking at will.
Curation example:
Scoop.it Page about “My favorite Inernet Marketing Articles” with say 10 curated content pieces that are from different properties on the topic… this appears to be a mashup of sources throughout the web but since I control every content piece there is no PageRank or Traffic leaks.
If you do your research right, you can determine how many pieces of content over how long and with how many links you need. This can allow you to preschedule your team out for a year and then SEO becomes a hands free deal.
Holding a baby and going goo goo the whole time writing this so if it makes no sense blame my baby, not me.

Solid writeup man. Our strategy is similar... though our tier 1 content is always 100% unique unless it's deliberately a "repost" (u didn't mention this) and we use BIG pr submissions if need be (PRWeb etc - my boy has lifetime PRWeb membership).
Also props to you for automating pinterest integration... That would have been my next step if I was going to stay SEO full time, as of now we just outsource it.
PS anyone looking to up their SEO game themselves
(esp authority site owners!) he dropped such a golden nugget on you in Onlywire... For $5 ONE TIME you can have full semi-auto social syndication across all your branded platforms... Kick it up to $50 one time and you have 300+ "push button" social profiles set up and ready to syndicate everything you ever post, ever.
You're welcome for this...

Thanks for these posts, very interesting.
Do you have a custom bot for the mass twitter retweeting? Or is there public software available?

i'm just saying from someone who's tried most of those things.... all that grey hat shit is gonna bite you in the ass later.
and i LOL @ these comments that guarantee rankings.... if i had a dollar for everyone who said this.... watch and see how long the site stays there before getting bitch slapped.
if you're doing any black hat shit or close to it, you're gonna get hosed.
we got destroyed in the last updates.... from dumb shit that was done years ago.

I'm not sure you took away what I meant to say in my posts.
Sucks you got hit. That is one thing that is making a killing right now... I'm selling reports to people that map out what links to remove, what to keep and how to submit a re inclusion request.
Personally... anything other than Tier 1 properties and I toss em. It's kinda like craigslist accounts... once they get flagged for re-verification, it's time to toss em.
Did your sites get hit with penguin, panda, the unnatural link warning, a combo or something else altogether?

That's a golden Fiverr gig. I have my team in pakistan doing those for me.
OnlyWire is good stuff but I hate relying on 3rd party services... I lost so many man hours of labor when Ping.FM shut it's doors... I've so many aged social profiles doing nothing right now.
We are upgrading our toolset to do it's own social pushes.
I've got pinterest semi automated... not fully right now. My tool set pushes out content for promotion to labor who then do the initial pin. The bot does the repin/like/commenting.
Your boy with the lifetime membership... what a gem.
