$6,000 could be reasonable but you don't understand what your goal is, if the method you choose was right and how much value the SEO company is delivering.

Take a step back. Is building many backlinks from low rep sources the right strategy? It would be in the gambling space. From the little I know I would use that money for sending people conferences/events, invest in facebook health community groups, content for socials like youtube videos. Hire someone for 6,000 who can get you on media. Hire a writer, write a book and give it away.

Yeah, the backlink part is the most questionable one. It doesn’t seem right, but I keep hearing that it’s important and our team’s new to SEO, so we don’t know whether we’re doing the right thing. Hence this Ask HN post.
