Add me to the list of people with bad experiences outsourcing linkbuilding. From the descriptions above, I believe I've spoken to some of the same companies.

I was willing to throw a few dollars at these sort of projects as an experiment. Like Spikey, I set guidelines (realising it was far from ideal).

In return, I got several dozen spammy reciprocal links c/o Linkmachine auto-gen pages. The contractor had found a way to game the reciprocal links.

If anyone can recommend good link-builders (beyond the usual A-listers with pricetags to match), I'd be interested in hearing more via PM.
