it depends what kind of backlinks your buying, you have to be CERTAIN they are panda and penguine friendly, and it's not worth buying heaps because it won't look natural, if your going to buy your better off buying a few high pr backlinks so it at least will look natural, but you do have to be careful, your probably better off doing it yourself if your willing to put the time in
Its sure that Google gives more importance to natural links but if anybody can buy Links as contextual Link under text body of the site or under article content from the sites which have low alexa, strong backlinks and real real huge traffic then I'm sure you will get good results over a certain amount of time. Not waste of money if purchase links from good sites.
same ole repetitive info over and over. dont buy this, dont buy that, natural this, un-natural that.... If you read googles TOS, they do not want you to link build, period...they just want you to create content that google can absorb, and if you get links out of it then great, and if not, then SOL...they expect you to put content on your site, and gain backlinks the natural way, in other words, they do not care if it takes years for your site to gain backlinks, trust, etc. It surely is quite ok for google to get away with controlling the net, but if you try to, then it may be the pit of darkness for your site.... and good luck to those that continue to insist running those auto-Link building software...You may enjoy some rank today, but my guess is sometime this year, or 2015 all those auto Link Building users will start complaining of their sites mysteriously vanishing from search results, and cant figure out why... So go ahead, get GSA out, or whatever your "best" link building software is, and start building those links, but in the back of your mind, you already know what is going to happen to your site down the road; I call it: The Google Pit of Darkness And I do not think most of you even know what quality link building is. Quality link building is not buying a $5 link on your best friends site because you think it is cool; I would be surprised if true quality link building was less then $1000/mo but you may get some results for $500/mo, then again, depends on the quality. Do you even know what a quality site is? Those that have quality sites surely know, and I can sure assure you, they will not be selling $5 fiveer deals either, but in the end, even quality link building is not guaranteed because google does not want you to link build, and if it looks unnatural to google, then your site maybe doomed; When you attempt to beat the system, in a short time, the system may just end up beating you.
and that is the problem that people have.... they do not want to buy one good backlink for $25 they want 10,000 backlinks for $5
Exactly. People make the same mistakes as in real life. You can buy 2 pair of shoes for 50$, or you can pay 150$ for one pair of "Timberland". Where is the difference ? Quality over quantity!
