Hi, I have a question, is buying text links on sites with higher PR, well, not really obvious you are buying links, because the sites you wanted to buy from are not those sites who sells link space.. meaning you buy to them privately.. you offer them to sell their link space to you.. will google know? will it affect your site's PR?
if anything has been learned from this recent update, it is: that google is much smarter than we think they are. If we say they cant do it, they've probably already done it.
I think buy link we will get high PR aw well as SERP. No, we will get mad due to google press button penalize us therefore we get mad.
but i guess google knew about it, no matter how hard you hide from buying links.. I think they will know.. (will they?) because from my own experienced, it does happened to me.. I bought some links to those sites with higher PR, but what I have expected didn't happen.. instead I got penalized, I got lower a level from my previous PR. what do you guys think of it?
I'm thinking that google assess a small short term penalty but after your link is around for awhile, the effects of the links begin to count.
