Is it worth the $325.00 to join the BBB just to get the link?
-
Trying to build as many quality links as possible. Saw a suggestion on a recent blog to join the BBB but it cost $325.00. Is it worth it?
-
Hey, I submitted a form online and someone called me within 15 min. The area code was from my home town here in SC. I wonder if they charge by location?

This depends on how many people work at your business. Make yourself sound broke and tell them you only have a website and no office.

Tom, I use it in the SERPS to prove credibility. https://www.google.com/search?q=ship+overseas&pws=0
You can see that I wrote about my A+ rating right in the description. My competitors are too cheap to get it and don't see the value. Go to the website and you'll see it on nearly everypage. I use BBB for credibility. Once in a while I actually see that I make a sales from someone who came via BBB so it paid itself off.
It's not just a link; it's credibility.

I agree, I have found the BBB to be a nice one to be tied to, a wonderful resource. I had no idea pricing was so high these days!
-
Hello, that's a good deal, I think is not only the link is more about the trust the BBB provides.
Can I ask you how you get this price if you don't mind? I would like to join but I don't want to pay $500
-
you don't just get a link either. You get the value that comes from those people who see "accredited" and think it makes a business more trustworthy. And you can't get an A+ rating without accreditation.

I have to pay $550 for BBBOnline so you're getting a steal at $325. Make sure the $325 includes the online edition (not just the print edition). I can't say whether the backlink value was worth anything, but from messages that I've read in user forums, I do know that people bought from my site because it had the BBBOnline link so the peace of mind it offers may be worth the $325 itself.

I say absolutely yes if you get on a page like this:
http://www.la.bbb.org/BBB-Accredited/Find/Information-Search-Retrieval-Services-3955
that page is PR5 and the links are dofollow. Try to confirm with them the page you will be placed on before paying. I may be doing this as well.
If joining allows you to use their logo as a trust factor on your site and you are in good standing then that is an additional benefit as well.

Best five links to get first for a new website
I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

Has anyone seen positive results from using Submiteaze to submit to directories? I know an SEM agency that uses it for clients' link building campaigns, but I don't know if it is worth buying. Are there better alternatives?
I would like to start a link building initiative at my company for a new website, and would like to know if the value of the links built using Submiteaze would be worth the money.
