I’ve looked at elance and similiar sites, but not used them. I have had pretty good results using our local craigslist. It’s a good place to go for tech folks.

I like your style Jim!

I used to use Elance years ago and had terrific success with it (but not for link building).
And thanks for a terrific resource by the way. Always enjoy your site.

Cheers

Brendon

Loved that response. I can imagine a voice in his head going…”WeBuildPages can see you vorcatedotcom…WeSeeEverything.”

WTF - And the guy wants to pay $20-$30?

Hilariously, I saw the same type of posting from someone on that site who wanted to replicate the SEOmoz KW Difficulty tool - he was willing to pay $500, though, if I recall.

I’ve used Rentacoder for some PHP and VB scripts. Found a great guy there and still work with him.

I’ve also used Rentacoder for reciprocal linking, as well as Elance. For link building, you really get what you pay for. If you want a 100 incoming links for $100, you’ll get just that, but they won’t be anything special for sure. Basically, I’d use them for just getting some MSN/Yahoo! traffic.

I’ve also used Elance for article building, which ‘ok’.
