    I just wondered why pay for backlinks if you can do it for free.
    If you appear on High Page Rank directories of example give you extra score in Google ?

    Please tell your experience.

    You can't always get good links for free.
    You have to pay for them sometimes.

    Like if you want to be listed in quality directories, you must pay for that.

    Having links from a high page rank directory will increase you PR, but that doesn't necessarily translate in to higher rankings. I never pay for links. I feel that the way Google ranks things is changing too much to invest money in somethings that could change tomorrow.

    Why pay for something when it can be done for free.. thats my motto (altho I do sometimes buy links!)

    The two main benefits of buying links vs free links are:


    1. Easier to buy high pr related links then to find them for free. I can find you hundreds of high pr links that relate to your site if your willing to pay for them but it is much harder to find free ones.

    2. Allows you to build your link count faster, most people want to get high rankings fast so spending money on links is one way to speed up the process.


    Free is the preferred method but not always the fastest or easiest way.

    There are only this far you can get with free backlinks, especially if you are in the narrow niche. Buying links allows me to get top quality links, where i want them, when i want them and for how long i want them. Saves me time too.

    Both is best, I usually spend time getting free links by submitting articles, submitting to free directories, posting on forums/blogs. Doing this, and having good content should get you decent traffic. Also submit to rss aggregator sites to get some more free back links.

    I also recommend buying some links in good directories with some good anchor text, and deep links to your site if you plan on making money with it.

    Usually I am able to get nearly 1,000 links in a month on a new site with these techniques.

    I get free links but I also watch the Directory Solicitations and Announcement forum here on DP and purchase links when the top directories have sales/special promotions (50% off, upgraded feature link, free deeplinks, etc).

    Free link can be removed by the directory owner or it is placed in a very inner pages. So sometimes we need to pay for it

    I just can't understand your question.
    Yes I prefer free PR8-9 links (even PR10 why not) however nobody is offering them for free.
