Pay for backlinks or do them yourself?

    For those of you succesful at building up backlinks, I'm wondering if it's as time consuming as it appears. Is it really worth your time if yours is very limited (like mine is) to do this yourself? For me it's more worth spending $10-20 on backlinks than spending hours and hours on it doing it myself? Is there faster methods I'm not thinking of? I'm guessing not because then everyone would be doing it, right?
    I'm just curious to know those of you who are succesful's opinion.

    I do them myself, but it is very time consuming. I do think it is necessary achieving a good linkpopularity so I keep going on.

    I've heard that you can be penalized by Google for buying links, because it's frowned upon by it. But others say that buying links is nowadays unavoidable and you can do it carefully so that it looks natural. So, where is the truth?

    I believe that making gradually submission is far better than bulk submission...the problem is that those services are much expensive than "submit your site to hundreds of directories in 24 hours"...google does not like many new links to your site at once

    I would say do it yourself but use software like article directory submitters, rss directory submitter, website directory submitters, and blog comment software. These tools speed up the backlinking process, instead of having to do it manually. If you are going to pay for backlinks I would hire people to post for you on forums for
    ten-fifteen cents a post. With that said it can be very worthwhile to pay for backlinks from high page rank sites that are related, but not competing with your website. Before I would go out and start paying for links I would try all other avenues first.

    I would say do both: Make backlinks by yourself, with website submission and forum posts, aswell as buying links from other people (on websites and forums) ;)

    Get as many links by yourself and if possible buy, if the offer is good.

    I try to do everything by myself... although it's time consuming.

    I prefer to do it free :)
    Or maybe.. if I make good money with backlinks.com I would pay for a high PR site on it too.. but mostly I try to do as much as I can for free...

    I would do some when you get time and if to consumed with other stuff then pay a freelancer to do it for you. There are many people who will do this for you. Both I always ask that question why not both? Why not?

    I think it's better do it yourself. Building your own sites and links is better. you will have control over it.

    Hi,
    Well how can google now about the 'sales'?
    OK, if they see a 'buy your link here for ..$'
    But probably they won't search EVERY site for that message.. so I don't think it's true...

    Or maybe for paid directories it can be like that

    Still I'm not sure though...

    I do both, buy links (because it's quick) and get them by myself.

    The thing is, it depends on what type of site I am making.

    well i experimented with hiring out links on this domain and writing articles we'll see how it goes.
    but I see with all the writers getting their panties in a twist thinking their the next new york times best seller and wanting a nickel or more per word I will be writing my own articles from now on.
    C'mon now, really if they were that great of writers they wouldn't be working here on DP!
    That's another issue altogether but that thread in the content creation forum really irked me the wrong way.

    Outsourcing is easier and faster if you can find a reputable partner to work with.

    In terms of is there a faster method if you do it yourself, yes, viral marketing or providing a product/service that sites naturally link to you, but if it was easy, then of course everyone would be.
