Default Anybody familiar with this linking company?

I got a contact from linkseekers dot com today. They say they'll link about a thousand websites to me for $497 per month.

I responded asking for examples of current customers and some of their sites with outbound links. They said they cannot provide that proprietary information.

The one good thing is they do not require an up-front payment. After 30 days they begin billing.

Anybody have experience with these guys?

thanks, Mike

Never heard of them, but I'd be VERY cautious based off that.

$500 a month. You will probably get more leads with PPC.
Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a rip off to me. I don't sign up for anything unless I see testimonials or case studies that I could be shown. Rew has some great programs that you may check out if your considering link building.

I agree with Eric. It is typically a bad idea to pay someone that kind of money to build you "thousands" of links.

What happens if the company gets your website penalized or banned from Google?

I hope you're sufficiently scared by now. That is a big hunk of change to be throwing away every month.
