If you are going to outsource your link building be sure to get people that know what they are doing. As I mentioned above poor link building strategies won't help you ranking and will just waste your time and money - and if done in a really spammy way may harm you rankings both in the short term (and almost certainly in the long term).

Know that sometimes it is worth paying more to get someone to do things by the book than getting some cheap third world link builder who promises you the world but they uses automation to spam the web.

True back links can be one of the most tricky parts of the SEO process.

When you deal in the .com market is is way more competitive then the AU market, especially for specific niches.

I think you need to remember that when you build links you really need to focus on the quality over the junk out in the market, some people will obsess over things like Directory submissions yet are they going to drive ROI?

My advice is to actually get out in the market and promote yourself to build links in various niches, come up with link bait ideas that are going to build quality links!

some examples of how you can utilize inbound marketing strategies for link building:

..a bit late to the discussion but thought I'd share some tips. The tips relate to a low-med competition keyword in the au market. The proof this works is in my personal experience with low-med comp keywords in au.

1. run a backlink check on your competitors and check linking site's PR
2. post your links to your site from the same sites your competitors use
3. get loads of article directory links within your niche (use automated software)
4. get 5 or so .edu comment backlinks in google do this - (intitle:nameofniche inurl:.edu)
5. get your free exact match or phrase match keywords from web 2.0's. Build relevant content and link to your site. (maybe do 5 of these with contextual backlinks).
6. variety is very important so try to get links coming from: blogs, comments, forums, web 2.0's, blogroll's, footer links, direct traffic.
7. purchase a PR6 do-follow backlink related to your niche (maybe 100bucks a yr) just make sure they don't have 100 outbounds links, not faking PR etc.
8. just do it

if you do all the above for a keyphrase and keep it looking natural i.e link to your site you'll be fine in no time.

If there's very high competition then all you need to do is purchase EMD from different countries and different extensions. Build these sites up on different proxies, private ip, etc... then link them all naturally to your site over time.

Another thing you can do is buy the .com .net, etc variation of long exact match keywords related to niche build these and link to your site.

If you'd like you can also blast your web 2.0's with scrapebox, xrummer, etc. Just outsource the latter, if one hour of your time is worth more than $10.

Regards.
