To the contrary free directories work. Its a lot more difficult these days as so many are free in name only. But why not try using a submission service? Give them a twenty dollar brief targeting an uncompetitive search string and watch it move. It takes anything from three days to three weeks but they do work. They are however low value as you have to keep replacing them and topping up. The reasons for this is that they tend to fall over or dump their database to start again. PR on the other hand is a dicey route to go. Sites earn PR, precisely because they are not the sort of sites which will sell you a link. All the others are of questionable value and it won't be long before Google starts another witch hunt. They have done it before and the guys I work with believe that it is inevitable given the fact that so many people are openly selling something which should not be for sale to sensible web site owners. PR is only important if you intend to sell your site or to sell links (PR) from your site.
The best backlinks are not from high PR sites but sites which link to you from within their articles. I think getting blogs posts linking back to your site are the most beneficial and cost effective.
OMG, each person - each new opinion. So, khanter, do you mean that it is better to submit website to 200 free web directories than to place backlink on the webpage with actual PR6 for example? And do you mean that backlink from high PR website will be recognized by Google as spam or that all who sells high PR backlinks are scammers that will either leave nothing or will leave the 1000th backlink on the webpage? Please explain your point of view, not sure I got it correctly. OK, I will ask directly, has anybody delaed with such websites like linkbuilding1000k.com, thebacklinkbooster.com, simplybacklinks.com? Are they scam or not? Do their backlinks give good result or their services is a kind of trick?
There is a strong body of opinion that when it comes to the serp's, a link is just another link. Some will argue and I personally believe from what I have seen, that links grow and do mature the longer they have been in place. But this is almost impossible to verify with any certainty. The main difference between a link on Yahoo and a link in a free directory is that you get anchor text with your free directory link. And my guess is that this is where the value lies. The only other consideration you have to take into account is how long it will last. Free directories tend to wobble and fall over. So you have to keep on replacing them and this gets time consuming and costly. As far as PR goes. It is nothing more than window dressing which directory owners use to pad their bills and up sell their products. However Google does not like that. They see it as profiteering and abuse and sooner or later they are going to penalise the more obvious ones. The question you must ask is whether the penalties will flow on down the line to the sites which are buying their PR. What you want to do when link building is to get as many links with anchor text as you possibly can. And as cheaply as you possible can. This is where you start looking at the possible lifetime of a link. A free link will cost you $1 to $2 to place. Submission services charge on average 15c to 25c and if you take acceptance rates into account you won't be far off what I have said. If you then factor in attrition you can start pushing costs up to $5 a link and more. And this is where you have to start using your head. You need to look at the sites editorial policy. Are the sites listed in the right categories? What is the purpose of the site? Are they selling position or genuinely charging a review fee? We have come up with a simple formula in our workshop. Firstly our webmasters have to learn to run a useful site. They have to find a way of making themselves useful to the visitors who find their site. We then add on a general directory and get them to offer a link review service to a wider web based market. What we are trying to do is to balance the need for quality with the need to be running a viable business. We believe that this combination of a niche service orientated web site with a general directory offering link reviews will do it. But who does really know? It's all theory and guess work at best.
you can try 1seosite.com. They are awesome. I tried a site and they made it to jump on serp within 3 months.. They target mainly quality backlinks.
Every company sells quality pr link. It is you, who has to accept to a link. If you hire a company then put all conditions before them. When you find report, check all links one by one.
I think it is better to build links manually. Get in contact with the owners of websites in your niche and ask to exchange links. You need quality not quantity.
huh, in this case I guess I can gain just quantity. Most of websites from my niche has PR0-PR1 and have hundreds of links on the home page. That is why I think it is better to buy several backlinks from home page of PR5-PR7 websites and I am sure it will be the quality choice. But i still need a advice what company really sells high PR backlinks. Please advice who used anyone's services. And by the way, everyone suggests to build backlinks manually. I have left all backlinks manually so far. But the source for backlinks is not endless. The quantity of relevant forums is low, and very often stupid admins remove posts just because it contains one link, saying that this is spam (can't differ advertisement from spam, so I think forum is not good for SEO), dofollow blogs are not endless too and don't let to use good anchor text, articles directories contain thousands or dozens of thousands of articles (you may calculate the total quantity of backlinks) and review your article for weeks/months, free web directories are similar to article directories - although you can use anchor text, the quantity of links in them is huge, they approve websites for motnhs/years, the links is not on the main page. So I think manual link building is good just for beginning. i don't believe it can give 1st position in Google, or can give it just in some years.
Just as a procaution.. I store all the links I buy from webmasters and SEO link building companies inside backlinkreporter.com just incase a guarantee is broken or something.
TerpNetwork, thank you so much! It seems to be a great tool. BTW, you have mentioned that bought links already, can you suggest any reliable websites?
You can use commnets post on your theme base website as well as create your blog on your website theme.
may people would say that i would say this because my backlinking product promotes a way to build your own best backlinks.... but the reason that i made that program was for people to stop getting slapped for bad links... you see i was paying silly amounts for backlinks and with reputable companys too.... and then i was like wow one of my sitse had moved up really quickly which it did.. and after a day guess what happened no where to be found on google for any of my keywords... i was gutted... that was two years ago and ever since i have built my own backlinks and have got pretty good at it. I soon notice that quality is much more important than quantity seriously build your own backlinks... in my opinion do ten to twenty everyday if you sit there and focus it can be done in an hour easy... and they soon build up... there are s0o many ways to get great backlinks you just have to know where to look
