Sorry for what is probably a beginner question. I have recently started doing link exchanges, and posting on forums (this one, and others) to find people. After a few days I noticed something strange, or at least strange to me. I was getting multiple offers for backlinks from different people, all offering to put my backlink on the same pages. For example: Person 1: "Hi, I will put a backlink to your site on www.backlink.com " Person 2: "Hey, I will put a backlink to your site on www.backlink.com " How is this possible? Are there services that are selling backlinks to these people, or are they simply directories (some are, but some look like valid sites), that anyone can access? Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.
really depends man. has happened to me too; in that case there were to owners of the site so they both were offering to sell links to the same site.. this is often the case.. if it's not id be skeptical.. you should just ask them and let them know you got the same offer from someone else
