Hi guys,

I have tons of content, am happy with keywords and on page SEO but am aware of links, article directories, SMM (twitter, facebook, etc), and I have a budget of $500 left.

I am thinking on going onto Elance to post a project..... but what would you recommend that I focus on for that sum of money?

My site is adventure travel related.

All suggestions welcome!

I'd spend about $200 dollars on hiring some professionals, probably from the BST section on the DigitalPoint forums and then I'd probably look around in the selling links section of the BST forum and buy some related pr3-10 links and spend the rest of the $300 on them even though Google doesn't like the buying and selling of links so you should probably avoid it hehe!

Oh, if not link sales, maybe link exchanges or buying advertising spots on related websites with high PR?

Thanks for that... but I always feel 'dirty' after spending time on DPoint. There is so much trash floating around in there!

Your right. I had an account on there but I got banned for bumping a thread when I was lowing the price on a .PSD template I was selling .

Given the nature of how you operate, I would suggest you call that $500 your pension and bury it next to a tree or something. Maybe convert it out of dollars first, not a currency with a big future.

Or use it to buy suitable clothes for a job interview?

Ha ha! You realise all the really useful advice simply gets ignored?

Seriously, I'd have a hard time trusting an *expert* that would work for only $500.

I real expert should be making much more than that.
Just spend the money on some google adwords.

You could spend that amount for a PPC/Adword campaign, but only targeting less competitive Adwords. There's also definitely someone out there, probably a linkbuilder from India, who will be willing to build links for your site for $500.

Forum posting/blog commenting give you near worthless links. If you pay someone else to drop them, you'll usually get idiots posting rubbish and making your site look bad by association.

First of all - I hate DP. OK - $500? Do you have time to SEO the site? Be very careful who you get. There's a lot of "posers" out there that say they are an expert on this or that - but don't get you anywhere. I would save the $500 and do it yourself if you have the time.

Of course you'll not drop the links. You need to make sure that your link builders build quality post to make sure you'll not get banned from forums and blogs.

Getting banned from forums and blogs isn't the main problem. The main problem is the uselessness of the links you waste $500 on. "make sure that your link builders build quality post"? Show me some bought forum posts/blog comments that don't make the buyer look stupid.

In fact, most posts/comments I see - and this includes the ones that haven't been bought - make the author look stupid. Why? Because the poster has an ulterior motive and cares not one jot about spreading knowledge and helping other people. Instead, the poster thinks only of what they can get out of the post.
