Well the goal in link building is to get old, high quality links right? BOTW is one of the oldest and since it doesn't allow shit in the directory it has upheld its quality for over 10 years. I cannot put any proof here other than the reasons I've stated.

I'm obviously an affiliate for them and I don't hide the fact but almost all my clients get listed with them. I strongly believe that being listed here helps your site get that trust from Google, and I'm more than open to having someone refute that statement.

The results I've seen have been positive and what I *think* I've come to know is that a listing here will go a long way in settling down the Google dance.

Amen to that

Yea I hope everyone who wanted in on BOTW gets it at the cheapest price possible. Now what I'd love to hear is if anyone noticed positive results a week or so after getting in there? I know I always see great results but then again I could be lying my face off. So on that note, is there an unbiased source out there willing speak up and pay attention? :)

I would stay away SEO experts that cost $300 lol....Sometimes a high quality link is going to cost you some coin. Especially when you understand what it takes to get a high level of trust with Google, and a link from BOTW is a start.

most likely you'll eventually have a hard time keeping out of the supplementals I'd say

Well technically that's spam but yea you'll see some success with that but again the content is gunna suck balls and the link juice passed is going to be minimal. If you're going down the spun article road just update all the hub sites once a week with new articles...that's the least you can do.

most likely not. I know a lot of consultants will say just keep building quality links and that part is true. If they're just so far ahead linkwise then you're looking at some serious work to get up there.

Were you at the meetup.com meet last night?

for sure! Chris as been killing the scene lately and for a good reason. The link building industry has some really professional but kind and honest people leading the way, like Chris, Eric Ward and Wiep.

thanks Alison..I actually meant to put your contacts in the post..I will do so today. I'm trying to get more coverage for you folks. Jon gave me access last year and I was so busy and lazy at the same time I never gave the coverage I should have.
