Buying Links- Pitfalls and questions

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by AMac08, Dec 17, 2008.

    Hi Guys,

    I should have asked this before asking to buy links in the Marketplace, but how can i tell that the people contacting me are actually the website owners?

    Anyone can look at who.is info and claim it is theirs. Is it customary to have the link added first, and then payment given?

    Some people contacting me are just asking for the money straight up with no certain proof that they are the owners or will carry out their end of the bargain and they are asking for hundreds of dollars.

    Any advice for me when buying links?

    Cheers

    I just look at their history and reputation. Chances are they are not going to ruin their reputation that they built up over time on one deal.

    If the person has been around on the forum for a while I have never had any reason to worry. Then again, I haven't been buying links for a while.

    Okay.

    Thanks guys. I'll get them to make the links live first.

    And I'll check their rep here as well.

    Appreciate the feedback.
