Less enamored with rentacoder.com

Not too long ago I was postin aout how I found people willing to my link building cheap on rentacoder.com. However there may still be some truth in the old "you get what you pay for" adage.

I've got three projects now. 2 link builders from India and one from Ukraine. The one from Ukraine recently announced he had my 100 links (107 actually) and that I should check them to make sure they were acceptable. I almost didn't bother but I said why not?

So I spent an hour or so checking the links he got for me and found over 50 that were no good because they had one of these problems:

1. Placed on pages with more than 40 outgoing links.
2. Placed on pages not indexed by Google.
3. Placed on pages with non-travel related links.

Those were the three criteria I set forth in my bid request. I should have also said no link exchange systems, meaning those things where you trade links with 50 sites at once and each link page is pretty much identical. You'd think a professional link builder would know better, and this guy had very high ratings...

Hi James,

This is that link builder from Ukraine. I will not mention here my name and URL to my profile to advertise myself. That's not the point in that case. To bring you that 100 links I must have completed at least 1000 sites who qualify for that. Actually I have worked with indians who was in team with me, I will not mention them too. They simply ripped me off, and to start to provide you that links I have no time to check all that 1000 sites so I get what they have collected.

And still you get some results. I understand your point. That guys with whom I worked was also very cheap. And I go for cheap, and actually was needed to do all myself in the end. And get rating 5 whith which I completely agree. Job was done as 5/10.

If I haven't this guys and hire someone of my very first team, then the price will be like $6 per link and no less. But they are just too smart and work like one-man show now.

However this project was just exception I did have a very high rankings and doing very good job. So the proverb "you get what you pay for" works. Just be very selective with workers.

I just posted on RAC message that someone hacked your WSN directories. Please read it.
