Are the "1000 backlinks for $10" worth it?

    Hi there,

    I'm totally new to Digital Point, and fairly new to SEO in general.

    I see a lot of these "Get 1000 backlinks for $10" offers on various websites. $10 is basically free - so I'm tempted to do it, even if only a few of the links actually remain. It seems like a good way to get a quick boost for my newly launched site.

    But is it worth even such a small amount as $10?

    Can you imagine what garbage you will get for $10? It is 1 cent per link. These links will be of very-low quality, something like that:

    (optimistic)
    - blog comments links without anchors
    - forum signatures or profiles links

    (pessimistic)
    - low quality sites' network only for selling links, owned by one person
    - forum spammed posts
    - FFA sites links

    Moreover 1000(!) links at a time for a new site is a great way to be filtered for a long time. Friend, it's time for quality, not quantity, the time for link-bombing is in the past. It's better to get one good link than 1000 rubbish links these days. Have you heard about Florida update? So, Google become much more intellectual since that.

    Cool - thanks for steering me in the right direction T-34. Good point about being filtered for a long time, that would suck.

    There are many fast submission directories where you can submit to 1000 directories by yourself in a couple of days, but certainly of no use. People working on SEO service do have 1000s of web directory collections for their business. Hence, the search engines find these directories less effective. However, there are few important directories like, dmoz, google directory etc., where you need to add your links and will be of great use.

    not totally worth it! $10 for 1000 backlinks??.. 1st check if backlink is ranging from PR 7 to Pr9, if not then dont take offers!. just search google and look for angela and paul backlink, in $8 per month you come to have a high Pr backlink!. but if you want my advanced method for backlinking, you dont need to do manual backlink,,but an auto backlink then Pm me! :)

    I cant either say worth or not worth.
    what can you expected by spending only $10 for 1000 backlink while other people are paying more than $10 for single backlink

    You won't be getting decent backlinks, that's for sure. It really depends on what your intending on using these backlinks for, there are plently of ways you can make use of these services. Although sending 1,000 spammy backlinks to your website isn't the smartest way to go about it. :)

    Thanks for the information T-34. I never heard anything about Florida Update and thanks for the links.
    My friends also mention a lot about Paul and Angela back link. Is it good service?

    Dont go for these thousands backlinks.. Search Engines will penalize your website.. Just try to get Quality Backlinks even if you get 1 Backlink for 10$... leave spam methods..

    If you are new try getting links manually before you start paying. You need to know the differences between the importance of various types of links like forums, blog comments, guest posts, anchor, non anchor, and combinations of all of these. This way when and if you decide to buy you can ask what type of links they are and you'll be able to tell how much you would be willing to pay for them.

    I followed that link, and it is really useless.

    We webmasters should not build back links in spam ways. Do decent back links. Just making good friends not bad friends.

    No, I've contacted an actual company who does this and demanded them to tell me what they use to gather their backlinks for the websites. They said they use spam software called XRumer. Haha, surprising? No!

    Hi,

    An offer to give you 1000 backlinks for $10 is in the same category as CD offers with 1,000,000 email addresses. All junk.

    Backlinks are important though. Blog commenting on dofollow blogs, forum posting, SE and blog directory submissions all good. I'd do the first two of these yourself and maybe look to outsource the other two tasks a bit - as they don't need your personality. You could post the job at Scriptlance or Fiverr, and get manual linkbuilding done cheaply. Definitely go for a few high PR links rather than hundreds of rubbish links. Also it will take less time and give far better link juice, as well as avoiding the problem of your ISP shutting you down for spammy activity.

    If you want backlinks just buy ScrapeBox. I made thousands of backlinks with it for one of my sites, only problem, completely worthless.

    Well it depends on what keywords you're targeting. If you do it for interior pages or long tail keywords, it works very well.
