Google does not like paid link. Should I stop buying links at all? But look the problem is if you take keyword "company formation" ,for example, you can not bring it in tiop 10 without it, social sites do not work for such specific word, forums - only couple exist, articales do not work properly as well. So, what I should do
If you're in a highly competitive niche and you stop buying links, you can forget about ranking in top10. My advise would be just to use common sense when buying links. Links from quality sites, in-content and no footer, etc. will be great.
Not all paid links are banned by Google. Google loves paid directories such as Yahoo Directory, business.com, etc. These links are paid links.
google doesn't like paid links but if you do it wisely, then no way google will no those are paid links. just need to know where to buy links from, thats all
