Very effective if your smart enough to see the advantages. You pay $60 a year for targeted traffic to your website, thus converts into more money for your pockets.
As someone else already stated, buying links can be incredibly effective if you buy them on high quality, very relevant sites with strong PR and few outbound links. I've seen sites go from pr0 to pr4 with as few as 2 paid links that cost them less than $10 per month.
Making a quality blogs no need to spend no of nights to earn money. After some times blogs will make static income for you. If you have good knowledge about backlinks it is beeter to buy some true backlinks from specialist rather than trying to spend time.
One-way links from reputable link directories with high page rank will help your page rank and hence your SERPS. If you just have to pay a small submission fee, this is not considered to be a paid link.
if buying backlinks actually hurt SERP in the least... why couldnt I just go out and buy 1000000 backlinks for my competition and crush them?
Methinks it's not worth it -- you'll end up buying a crapload of links. Building them manually is more like it.
The site owner would inform Google of the scam and they would discount the bad site links for ranking purposes. In other words there would be no penalty as long as the scam was discovered.
They don't penalize sites that buy links. The absolute worst that can happen is that the link you buy doesn't count towards your PR.
thanks, so then why cant I go out and buy 1000's of links and if google penalizes me, "inform google of the scam" and get my old ranking back?
That's a laugh. Can you imagine how many emails Google would get per day if that were true? LOL Google doesn't penalize link advertisers. Period.
Buying back links is good if you have good budget you may go for it... you will get instant search engine ranking by buying links
This is a very interesting topic. A lot of backlinks you can buy on sites like Fiverr does not help at all. As people posted above, if its high PR backlinks with relevant topics then its good.
Buying backlinks on relevant quality sites is worth it. Just make sure the link is not placed in an area that says advertisers or sponsors.
Backlinks from Quality Pages worth alot, i prefer to grab only those backlinks which can directly affect your rankings due to its individual page value in terms of social integrity, page rank, in bound links
Hiring someone to build backlinks for you can be worth it. Paying someone to place links on there sites is not worth it, as it is temporary because you need to keep paying them to keep links.
