I am doing SEO for a website and have budgeted $1,000 for text links over a 3-month period. If you had this much to spend on links, what kind of links would you buy? Where would you spend it?
Depends what niche you're in - look for sites that are similar and ask them how much for a link... You can get backlinks for free from the likes of Digg, Stumble and www.AddAnImage.com Good luck, p.
But you must have shown your proposal to your client and told them what kind of link will be included.
If you're going to buy links, make sure you buy the traffic they can bring with them, not improved search engine rankings or PageRank values. (Meaning make sure they have the rel="nofollow" attribute included on the links.)
Give me $1000 for all of the info in my Link Building Blog and use those tips to create 1000's of backlinks.
Create a list of high pagerank dofollow blog comments and outsource the commenting job to someone. You can easily get a bunch of PR3-7 links for 10-50 cents/link (current cheap prices on DP).
If i were you i wont buy many links especailly when its shopping niche you get at most good 3 to 4 pr 4 and 5 lifetime links for 1K$ Im a regular reader of http://linkbuildingbible.com/ i strongly recommend you to grow through you can build thousands of good links at low cost good luck
Why do you people keep thinking that Google know that you actually bought the links? I can't believe that... Of course you want to buy DOFOLLOW links. But keep in mind the time factor. Don't overbuild links, or google is going to put you in the freezer (sandbox). But there's no sense in buying links for the traffic... Then you buy ads. You want to build organic traffic with your link money.
ialso agreed that you should buy the link from high traffic sites not just for PR since you make money from visitor buying something. try to buy the banner ads from high traffic sites also spend some money for PR purpose if you like. try to look at links sales section in DP and you will get many great deals.
it's funny how many ppl have the answer on their blogs and 1,000 in 3 months isn't enough IMO.. I always suggest at least 1,000 in one month And if you already told your client the offer, but now your asking us where you should buy links?? Seems your screwed yourself sponsor styles, submit to directories, blog post... but then again, you already know all this, since that's what you told your client, right?
Article, forum, guestbook, and Directory links used to work, and are easy to get, but now search engines do not give you much credit for these types of links because of constant abuse by link spammers... and they are now basically worthless. LinkVana is a Next Generation linking service that takes your snippets of original & unique content that you control, that are relevant to your sites topics and automatically propagates your snippets across a huge network of Blogs. These snippets will have a link to any page you choose embedded within them. This network is not just a collection of rag-tag sites that are in the bottom of a closet gathering dust, these blogs are special. Not only are they on a ton of different C Class IP addresses, but they also have 1 or more of the following factors: #1 - Healthy PageRank (from PR2 to PR5) #2 - Loads of Link Popularity (our blogs have 1000's of inbound links) #3 - Domain Age (some of our sites are over 6 years old) All these factors combine to make the perfect recipe for you to gain the link popularity needed to earn solid rankings in the search engines.

Do yourself a favor and trust the opinion of someone with over 4800 posts. What he says is true. Moreover, I'd recommend that if you have $1000 to spend, not all of it - or even the bulk of it - should be spent on buying links. It should be spent shoring up your site, internal seo and building quality content.
There is alot you could do without spending. Assuming your client has a rss feed of recent products, you should submit those to as many feed directories as possible. Google Base too. I really don't know how you should spend $1000 because there is really so many ways! I'd almost consider giving someone that 1k to do all the tedious grunt work like submitting to directories and so forth.
Hi, you should spend that money to getting listed in good directories relevant category with good pr. that will help you to up ur site on search eanginen will increase site PR too. Regards BJ
I might spend 20% on the forum signature and dofollow blog comment 80% to get the quality link (PR5++ strong website with same niche)
