    Hey all

    I do a lot of blog commenting myself, so I'm not really interested in buying these kinds of links...

    So, I was wondering, what's the best kind of links to buy? Article Submissions? Links on related homepages? Any advice would be awesome.

    Cheers.

    With any link buying you are risking your Google rankings. They make it very clear that they do not condone link buying. Many people think that only the link seller would get penalized, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.

    The safer route is to pay for freelancer services instead. You can pay people to write articles for you or build links some other way.

    If you still want to buy links, relevant homepage links are the most effective. In particular look for pages that have your keywords in the page title, url, domain or onpage text. Pages that rank for your target terms are ideal candidates if they accept advertising and are not direct competitors.

    well said vansterdam,

    I had one of my websites penalized (as in it dissapears from google search results) for buying links on high PR pages and that are not related.

    I find that a better way to avoid this while still purchasing links is to report it to google using google webmaster tools. I think when you report a paid link, you will not get that link juice from but still get the traffic.

    hope that helps

    If you are interested in link buying it would be better ; go for text links in Articles as you will get three benefits : backlink,traffic and permanent link.:)

    just buy fewer links from the homepage of authority blogs and your life would change.I will not be specific here in how many you need - but definitely less .

    put yourself in the shoes of the seller - would you want to sell a PERMANENT ad space on your blog? it's better to do it stages, this way the seller gets a reglar income and the buyer can keep track of where their links are.

    i suggest do variety of link building like article submission, link exchange, social bookmarking, etc...
    Do not focus on blog commenting only.

    Good luck!

    I would suggest go for high traffic sites that offers link selling.

    Link buying with dofollow might get you penalize from google. So, go with nofollow, and if the webmaster gives you dofollow without realizing, just ignore it.

    Well google bots arn't as smart as some people think. You need to match key words with your links. For example take the word season. Season is a major key word for video sites but is also a key word in other area's such as sports and since the search engine isn't always sure if you are looking for football season or tv season a link from either will help you out. The best way I found is to search your key word and as many links as you can from the first 5 pages and don't worry about content.

    Do not buy links. It is no need to buy links since there are lot of ways you can build links for free.
    Also if google identifies it, they will penalize your site.

    Google wants to provide quality content to users. They do everything they can to make sure that when somebody does a search on Google the results are quality.

    Google has a algorithm that ranks webpages with more backlinks higher then a website with less backlinks. It does this because a backlink means that somebody finds your website interesting enough to link to it.

    If you buy a backlink then that goes against what Google is trying to do. For whatever reason not enough people are linking to your site. So you plan to buy the backlinks. Although this might help you in the short term. In the long term you will loose, because it goes against Google's purpose.

    If Google finds out that you are buying backlinks then they will make sure that you do not show up at all on search results. Money wasted. Website worthless.

    My recommendation - do not buy backlinks. Instead create a website that people want to link to.

    Schism, buying links is unethical, can get you banned from google, and most importantly: does not guarantee a better placement. And if you have a better placement, its temporar and also worth nothing if the users hit your site and bounce.

    The best way to get your website up high is to have a good website, regularily updating, original content, nice friendly interface, many feature, and interesting for your users.

    I have a very special case study:
    I have a website in a rare niche, that have only 1 competitor.
    It is now PR4, was PR2 before the last update... and my competitor is PR5, and also DMOZ listed.
    I never bought a link. I always improved and improved and added more content.
    In the previous 6 months, My site ranked higher in google for all main keyword, although it was just PR2.
