Where do you shop for links?

[mxracer170]

I’m in the motorcycle parts and accessories industry specifically the motocross industry and have been using one of those scam artist SEO companies (Internet Advancement) for the last 6 months to try and get better rankings. I was new to this and didn’t realize I could do this on my own. Now I’m going to dump them and since they have not achieved their goals set in the contract I’m going to get 50% of my money back, at least I better. I’m going to use that money to buy some links but have no Idea where to shop for them. Where do you all find your links? Also if it says a lifetime link what does that actually mean? What if their site goes under?

What if google doesn't spider this link? Many of the links to my site don't show up for google. Do you typically get you money back?

We find our links in the search engine such as forums, free web directories, classified ads, link exchange, blog directories, article directories, social bookmarking. Lifetime links means that you should go for paid directories and your link will be posted lifetime, but there is no such thing as lifetime there is a contract for any link.

Well, Maybe the links is not crawled before the google updates backlinks. You have to wait for another three months to see those links.

iwebtools.com has great link resources

Oh and don't forget V7N Contextual Links and V7N Web Directory.

Probably the most comprehensive link building article:

I'd start out with submissions to directories and v7 contextual.

I’ve had some links posted on forums for several weeks and they still don’t show up when I do a link: search. Could the forum not be getting spidered for some reason? Why would someone not want their forum spidered?

I do search myself, then I write letter to owner. I'm affraid of using link shops.

It could be because the directory or forum has rel=nofollow tag. Just a thought.
