    I am finally going to buy some text links...

    When buying text links from Webmasters.... what should I look out for???

    My biggest fear, is Google finding out I bought these links... how would they know??

    Unless it's stated the links are paid, google wouldn't know.

    I know many directories charge.... I should probably stay clear of those since the site states its "$99.00/yr" etc.?

    Should I stick to finding websites with high PR sites... with only a few outbound links.... and the site being related?

    No harm will be done if they didn't know about it.
    Be clever and avoid from being too obvious that you're buying / selling links.

    Make sure that the seller is not selling too many links on a page. Buy links on sites that are relevant to your site and with good pagerank.

    it's one of the annoying things about Google. 'some' paid links are OK. And some AREN'T.

    Be aware that Google operatives are quite happy to shoot first and ask questions afterwards.

    If buy links from relevant and high PR site is give good benifit for your site . Also check the site not selling too much links then will not be any value. And link buying from High PR site is not problem. If google make any problem, chance only to the seller not buyer

    Yes this is all good info... I was actually thinking of taking it a step further, and having a friend buy the links for me and I just give them the cash.... so that no one knows I bought them, and there's no link to me.... I just dont wanna scare my friends they dont know anything about this

    Do you think if I buy links, pay pay $$ over to these webmasters, etc. .... I should be on good shape?

    I'm not going to go cuckoo with it, like buying 1,000,000's of links right off the bat etc.

    Really, I'd like to buy like 10-15 site-related juicy high pr anchor-text links

    If the site isnt related.... i'd like to even see if I could pay extra to have an article filled with keywords to make the site look related to me!

    Google can not tell if you bought the link or not (unless of course its obvious)

    You should be safe, just do your best to get related niches

    a few thing you need to keep in mind

    * Monitor your links to make sure they stay up and the host sites stay clean.
    * Use your rankings as a springboard to gaining natural links.
    * Keep making your site better.
    * Know when to quit buying links.

    I just bought a link package and to my surprise all the links were comments from unrelated blogs.. basically these link brokers spam the hell out of blogs until some of them approve the comments, and then they sell it to you.

    be very careful, preferably don't buy links, build them yourself.
