Link buying for PR0. Is it smart?

It seams that it's pretty clear. When you build a site on a brand new domain, you submit to all the directories and do the article submission. Alright I've done quite a bit of that.

I want to keep pushing this. I intend to spend a good $3,000 on promoting this site. Right now I've spent about $500 exclusively on directories. Should I just keep on joining SEO friendly paid directories? It seams like a few PR 5 links would do wonders in getting my site up and kicking fast.

Am I getting ahead of myself by buying links before my site has even been cached in Google?

the only way google will cache your site is to get links. you have to get some. I'd start slow though. PR's maybe, link exchanges. I wouldn't go doing sitewides on 10 pr 7 sites or anything.

 

i jsut bought some links for some of my pr0 sites, hopefully to insure that I get a decent pr when it updates, I trade a lot of links and people tend to judge a site on its pr, so even if it doesn't rank its worth it for me

 

You didn't mention how old your domain is, but if it is brand new, you might want to consider that you will be sandboxed for a period of time - and google isn't going to factor in your links for ranking purposes. You aren't likely to get any top ranking for any competitive terms during this time.

There is really no substitute for quality link building with other similar sites. Getting PR for the purpose of PR isn't going to get you the rankings you want.

If you want immediate traffic, you could try some testing using adwords or other advertising that isn't focused on PR.

 

I would focus on adding content vice links(although they cant hurt) Just my 2 cents!

 

I could easily spend $3,000 on paid text links.

- Go to www.text-link-ads.com .
- Go to DMOZ and find your niche and phone up the webmasters and see if they'd like to make some advertising money. You can usually get it pretty cheap...and good links too.
- Go to www.linkworth.com and pick up some links

Once you get some good links, you'll get your site spidered/cached/indexed and then once the PR fairy comes around you'll have some green dust to showcase to webmasters for link exchanges (not that PR matters, but lots of webmasters still base link exchanges off the toolbar).

...just my 2 cents.

 

anyway I would advise you to buy links on content sites relative to your site, rather than buying links on directories.

 

I would build up your links up slowly to get started. That way you are less likely to trip a filter. Once your site gets decent rankings then I would consider buying some links. In my opinion unless you have an older site I would avoid buying links from any high profile places with a lot of SEOed sites. Definitely avoid site-wide links (ROS) to a new site.

Sandbox is already in effect for new sites. Y! and MSN don't have any. They only way you'll get a site out of the sandbox is with links. Building fast or slow isn't going to matter. I've done both.

I see where you're going with that statement, but what about link age? Getting links from authority, industry related links and keeping them over time is going to help a site get out of the sandbox, regardless of SEO quality of site acquiring links.

 

I've sort been balancing my time between adding new content and developing an SEO system. This is the first site I've been super serious about SEO. The subject isn't overly competitive, but not mega easy either. Anyway, I'm tracking every single thing I do now to make I can repeat the process in a much quicker amount of time down the road.

It sounds like I must be careful in this early stage. My domain is probably 3 monthes old. I tossed a 4 page placeholder on the site when it was new and then waited about 2 monthes before I put my site up. I'd say the site is about 200 pages now jam packed with content for my particular niche.

I think I'll focus on writing more articles to be placed on other sites and buy real links when I get some PR.

sometimes buying links can be harmful for your site unless you know what types of links to buy.

Within 24 hrs you can cached your site that's no big deal. only thing you have to keep in mind that is your site being cached with thematic site or not?

 

I think it's smart,buying pr3 links from directories would be worse than buying pr0 links from related sites.

Just my two cents..

 

I think its fine to have links on PR 0 sites, but if you are looking for serious traffic, then PR 0 links cant helps you.
