Link Building Specialist Job Description

Job Requisition for a Link Builder (White Hat of Course)

Hiring a link building specialist isn’t like hiring a coder. When hiring a programmer, if something breaks, you simply revert the code and try again; rarely will your revenue be impacted. However, when assembling a link building special job description, if you are unclear of expectations, a significant amount of your search engine traffic and revenue could suffer for an indefinite period of time.

Your link builder must be skilled in sales and outreach and have a firm grasp on the do’s and don’ts of getting your website mentioned by other websites in a way that Google and other search engines approve of.

Hopefully you’ll find this job requisition for a link building specialist useful. Feel free to copy and paste.
