I'm building a new site (not in my sig) and bought several pr2-5 links in directories, etc. The site would be crawled periodically by Googlebot, nothing special though. Then I bought a link on a PR7 page, and Googlebot set up camp on my site and is crawling even the deepest pages. Incidentally, the PR7 page is content related to my site...dunno if that had a factor in it or not. Just thought I'd share that for those who are on the fence about buying good backlinks.
Come back to us all in a few weeks and tell us if you have been penalised by google and sent to the bottom of the pile . They are smart that will spot it I tried it and was punished
Mr X would you mind telling us how much you paid for the PR7 Link? (they are usually not cheap) Hope you don't mind thanks Coqui
Hmm... since they only exist in cyberspace and thus weigh nothing, are they truly worth their weight in gold?
It is crawling all right. Is it adding you to the index - that's the question! So far you have not gained anything yet and only paid with your bandwidth. See how you fare in two to three months. Not to bring your hopes down but I would say that just the crawling by itself does not really mean anything. Keep building the site, adding relevant content, let people add you to their bookmarks so you don't have to worry about Google in the future. Good luck!
I'm going to cringe when I hear how much you paid for your PR7. I could of probably got alot of PR6s for $5. Hexed
I used Text Link Ads...paying $75 on a month to month basis just for the PR7 page. I bought 2 PR5 links too for $15 and $25. They have a $100 promotion going on right now if you wanna try it. Here's the link.
Dude, do you have any idea how much money you're throwing away? Go save your money, www.three-way-links.com. Pay $5/month and get more results. For a FULL YEAR subscription ($57 on three-way-links.com) you would still be paying less than the $75 you're already paying per month. Hexed
If you can provide a quality site to trade via a three way link, yes, lots of people with PR6s and PR7s will trade with you. Three way links are basically like one ways.. no minus like on reciprocal links. I have a few good PR5 websites that gained PR6 and PR7 backlinks yesterday via three way trades. Hexed
