Is Document Sharing a good source of backlink?

I received a SEO quotation from another firm in India and they listed Document sharing s one of the SEO methods thy will use. This make me wondering if document sharing is beneficial to SEO and in which way(s).

Document Sharing? Umm ya, just more bogus…It will do nothing concerning SEO.

What! You mean there is no value in backlinks from document sharing website? Well i am a layman there. So that bring me to this questions;
Should i juts stick to the traditional SEO of social bookmarking, directory submission,etc?

How do you think document sharing could help you in terms of SEO?

As various members have tried to explain in your other threads, links which you obtain in this manner - by posting them yourself - are of very little benefit, because they’re too easy to get and to manipulate. The links which will benefit your site in terms of SEO are those which are not easy to obtain, which are not self-created, but come from solid, reputable sites. The only way to obtain these links is by ensuring your own site has such high-quality content that other people will choose to link to it, for the benefit the links will provide to their own visitors.[/FONT]

Document sharing a new methods. That is known many people. How it will work ? Document sharing on kind of document marketing. If you can make some long details for your niche business and here you can give some trips and make some solution about some problem. Then some people require the tutorial and trips of many problems. So they search for pdf document. In this document have some link of the footer place. This will help you to come some visitors in your site.

Thanks.

Thanks for that.

Document sharing is a pointless exercise, as I say on an almost weekly basis here.

The reason it is a pointless exercise is because people assume that these links are of decent quality. The reality of the situation is that you’ve spent x amount of time writing an article, and y amount of time adding the article and your link to this page; a page which is of really low-quality on a site with many low-quality pages and links. Congratulations! You’ve wasted x + y time for nothing! If a company knew that you’d did this for no benefit they’d probably fire your ass.

Imagine a website as a bowl and a link as a small hole. Now fill that bowl with water and call it “Google Juice”. The more links we add to this page, the more water flows from the bowl. The average document sharing website get a lot of visitors and appear to be popular, but only because these sites are used by SEO spammers. They are all pushing holes into the bowl, and before long the bowl is a ton of holes and the water just falls through. Even if this document site was the best site on the planet, the sheer number of articles and the sheer number of links make your link pointless.

Document sharing sites are the ultimate scam. They’ve hustled the hustlers, and they’re profiting off of SEO spammers and their countless man-hours spent spamming.

No good news is available for document sharing websites?Ok, all of you who have done the hard work of stopping me from using document sharing websites, you’ve won.Thanks again for sharing that useful piece of information.

Document-sharing websites can be a excellent source of traffic. They have high PR, they have high quantity of traffic, and they’ll help you to get ranked well in the search engines. Document-sharing website is a website that accepts document submission, regularly in the form of PDF and makes it public. All in all, document-sharing websites can be a good backlink source for your website which will help your website to rank well in the search engines.

Document sharing has nothing to do with backlinking or building links. It doesn’t even contribute anything to any business.
Unless you want to divulge any information you have from a certain company and you want to share documents from the competitors.

If I were you I would not hire anyone from India. A SEO company can very easily do more harm than good to your site. This is better handled by you the site owner.
