Gloc Media was unawarely part of an experiment, ends up being voted top agency

Gloc Media was part of a secret experiment without being notified. This experiment was conducted by the backlink analysis tool Linkio, and the results couldn’t have been better for us.

We have been voted by the audience as the #1 link building agency, taking into account factors like link building tactics, pricing policy, response time, real blogger outreach, our agency’s own SEO or how to order from us. We are the most voted agency on both categories: best link building services and best guest posting services (can be seen here).

A few days later, Linkio posted these answers on their website, along with the answers from other 50+ vendors, in the form of a contest where online visitors can vote up for the quality of the service offered.

Gloc Media ended up being voted as the best link building agency and the best guest posting agency, listed #1 on both lists among the top 50 agencies. The list they compiled actually has more than 50 vendors from different countries.

This is what the results of the experiment revealed about us:

Worth clarifying that our own SEO is healthier than ever, all our main webpages and service pages are accessible and indexed; the only webpages we block from crawling are some blog categories, tags, RSS feeds and other uninteresting webpages. We also own an SSL certificate.

Here is a brief explanation about the experiment put together by our friends at Linkio themselves, the guys who have been running the experiment:
