    I think a lot of these instant link networks are worthless. Like these guys at the top of your ebay link. They make their network of "link partners" available so I'm sure Google has devalued those links.

    A lot of these guys just create dynamic pages specifically for your link. The content is just copied from some RSS feed somewhere (maybe scrapped together) and then your links are thrown in at the bottom. Most of the time these pages are not indexed and will not be indexed.

    I won't buy links from any network or company that makes its sites available for the public to see, has "sponsered, paid, advertisment" or any other verbage around the paid links that Google will see.

    if your going to buy links confront sites via contact forms on their sites, or emails. dont use ebay, link brokers etc.

    you will be "safer" if you negotiate through an email vs a website or public domain.

    make sure you send them a list of questions concerning the domain or link .. don't make any payment untill you get a reply. A signed agreement might be even better..

    Why are going for ebay since a separate forum is here for buying links
    I think digital point is the best place to buy or sell links

    Buying links from a network in public sites, is risky, those networks are known, and the links will not help.

    All my customers, mail me and we talk, I never advertise my network, nor does anybody who happens to own a network or two, it is just not safe.

    And just having your links thrown in the footer of the pages means total waste of money. Links from homepages of even unrelated sites can help a great deal, if you or your link vendor knows what they are doing.

    agreed, I have got some cheap links on ebay but some have been okay and others have not really done much for my site, so I would say to ensure to do your research first.

    I have requested additional info from a few of those offers. For most I never got a reply. For the ones I did they were all short timers.

    A one month link is of no value to your site for PR purposes. Traffic you may or may not get. Will it be quality traffic?

    Save your money or shop here.

    Anyone got any good links for sale here? What is considered good? Traffic? PR? Bot Visits? I am interested in your replies.

    you can see at the link sales forum here

    According to me

    If you are buying link for PR
    A link can be termed as good if the site has less no of outgoing links

    and high PR

    If you are buying link for traffic

    Then you should not see the PR for your site
