    are you buying links or traffic? buying traffic is legit but it doesn't help one bit with PR

    links.

    but you may not get PR within a short time no matter how many links you buy, because Google aren't updating PR as often as they used to. if they don't update their PR for 10 months, you get no PR for 10 months.

    buying traffic is only recommended if you are selling affiliated product or membership sites. Other wise if you want to improve the ranking, using adsense or want to build readers network, never try to buy the traffic. It's unethical or grayhat strategy.

    I realized, that buying of traffic is just pointless, but it is interesting.

    Here's the thing.

    1) It will not take 10 months (or whatever) to get a high pagerank. That's just the pagerank score we see. Google doesn't use that for ranking. The "pagerank" that is used for ranking is updated much more frequently (individually for every site) and it's not as vague as a 1 or 2 or 3 (it goes into decimal places).

    2) Don't buy links with DigitalPoint ads. If you're going to buy links buy them somewhere else. In-content links on DigitalPoint are 302 redirects (which won't help you).

    3) Don't buy links at all. I know that Google can detect them as well as people can (usually people who buy links try not to make it suspicious but they overlook so much :p ). It can hurt you and I promise it won't help you.

    It's better to spend your money on creating high quality, valuable, unique content. There are two reasons for this:

    1) Content has much more weight in rankings that links.

    2) Great content will get natural links (that actual people will also click). (I promise.)

    I know what I'm talking about :cool: and I promise you that if you take my advice you'll love that decision later on.

    Google won't BAN you but I wouldn't buy any traffic because it won't help you pagerank. You need backlinks.

    Buying traffic is pointless and not legit. To increase your PR you have to get more links and instead of trying to buy links too, you should build them manually.

    buying traffic wouldnt help you on PR. However, if you would like to improve your PR, you gotta buy dofollow link from high PR site.
    On the other hand, google are updating the PR tools just few times per year based on the history, it is impossible to get "fast PR"

    IMO you should go for the keywords instead of going towards the buying traffic or gaining high PR. Both of them won't required iniatially for SERP. Rather PR is an important factor for Google but it usually doesn't affect the SERP so you may directly go for the keywords which is also helpful in gaining the traffic and thus business.

    Google always likes natural link building which can be accomplished through building it manually, that means Google doesn't go for paid links. While it is true that there are websites that can get away with paid links, but it is still better if it were done manually. There are so many manual link building activities you can do, like forum posting and blog commenting among others. Maybe you should focus more on improving your SERP ranking, that way you can generate more traffic to your site.

    i completely agree with
    spend $1200 in getting quality content and post it regularly on your site for say 6 months.
    iin between do some blogposting and blog commenting on quality related blogs.

    this will help in long term.

    Well if you have a good strong budget, then why dont you buy a package of PR8s and PR7s which will definitely get you atleast a PR5 or PR6 within the next pagerank update, if those links are indexed in google. Yes traffic doesnot help you get any increase in the PR, but obviously the links will do good for your site. ;)

    that's equivalent to a budget of $100/month for 1 year. with that much, you can easily get PR 4. probably PR 5.
