Help - 200+ baclinks per month, 40-50 per day, | Are they even worth it?

We are a small business looking to hire an SEO company to help with our content marketing. We have reached out to companies locally (US), internationally (Australia, Europe) to get quotes. The price ranges from $250 per month to $1250 per month.

All of these companies tell me they will produce XX backlinks per day or per month. But when you ask specifics they tell you the backlinks are forums, commenting on blog post, social media profiles, likes, etc.

I ask them for specifics and it is like they have splattered themselves across the internet.

I know that the best links are contextual, editorial, outreach, blog post, etc.

So my question is this:

Is there even value in these 200+ backlinks? Or do they work as the keywords we are working to rank for are low-competition and some backlinks are better than no backlinks - or does google just ignore those links?

I am inclined to say no and it is just a waste of time and energy to produce these links and that our efforts/money would be better spent producing content and pursuing a CPC and social media campaign.

But I could be wrong.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
