Cheap Advertising Links

Why do folks pay for links when they can get them for free? It takes a little work but I have been able to get my link placed on good related websites with very good pr's for FREE.

Why would you one pay for a link and two, why would you want your link where many others have payed for their link to be placed too?

Am I missing something?

People buy links because they think its the magic for traffic. Links have helped PR in the past. They do not mean as much any more. Google does not approve of link buying or selling. They punished Chrome for doing it. Going against their own guidelines. You should trade links with sites that have related content. Exchanging links with non relative content is a waste of time. It can actually de-grade your web site status.

That is what I have gathered from reading related threads on this forum. Yet I continue to see folks trying to sell them and bragging about how good they are. Thanks to the V7 Network and members like you, I have avoided the traps they set.

Hopefully those looking to buy will find this thread before they do and reconsider before buying links.

I have never bought a link at all. Yes, i have submitted to some paid web directories but the fee was for reviewing my listing and other misc. stuff according to there guidelines. These are high quality directories.

Other then that, i prefer the good old fashioned way.... FREE!

I get my links for free and also try to have link bait type posts to get people to link to my blog posts. These SEO blogs that i'm subscribed to, i create a lot of threads on v7n giving them a free link by linking to there stories. You don't see these SEO blogs buying links on webmaster forum's. lol

Or course some SEO/link building members promise there clients links on high ranking targeted sites so they try to do it by buying cheap link's. It would stink if those sites get nailed by google and the link is work nothing.

(Just stated my opinion)

No they will probably not read this thread. People buying links are looking for fast traffic and can not be bothered to put any real effort in. They think money can buy their SEO. Some do not even know that buying one way links helps the seller and does nothing for the buyer. Better off spending their money on Ad Words.

People buy links because they need to increase traffic as well as gain good position on SERP results in less time and they succeeded for some time but when Google detect such kind of activity then they are thrown out from the search result. So I prefer free links mostly with my content to stay safe.

I agree to you. They only want instant links. They prefer to buy rather to work for it because we all know that it takes time.

You are right. People who think that seo is a fast method of increasing ranks, like designing and development, are always eager to buy link. Free backlink creation on related website, is really very important. Though it takes some effort but its result are stable.

Purchase link is faster and it will not removed within a period. And it is hard to get quality link for free now. Everyone can get those free backlink, if you want to beat your competitor, you need more and more quality link

a lot of people want to buy links because they think the paid links will improve their site rank a lot and they couldn't get them for free or they don't want to spend their time to get. I never buy links from high pr sites, I just do it normally under google's guidelines.
