I've bought some links before on fiver, something about 20k and nothing happend, all links dissapeard after few days and they are in very poor quality, better spend time and do it by yourself.
I'm not really sure that Google has the quality of the internet some much in mind as the maintenance of their monopoly on the advertising business. I tried advertising through them and it was just like a vacuum sucking money out of my pocket. How can you even tell that the clicks you get are customers really interested in your product? This site actually seems to have some cool advertising options that I might think of trying honestly.
Why not push seo instead of running ads. Im know if you get fake clicks at adsence you dont get that money but real question is do you getting charged while im not getting paid
The search engine market is monopolized by Google as well. Duck duck go had some promise but their results weren't that great. Without going into details Google has every incentive to drive traffic to where it benefits them. This is even more true when they don't have a competitor that is strong enough to claim "better search results". I'll give you a simple example. Have you tried searching the web on your phone lately? It is way worse than when you use a PC because you have to scroll past lots of ads just to see some regular website results. On certain search terms there seem to be no "regular" results anymore. Does this mean Google is evil. Nope, just means they are a business and they are out to make money. Normal behavior for a monopoly. They will just get worse until one day they are broken up, if that ever happens. Try to create a presence on the web, even with a non profit hobby and you will quickly see the cards are stacked against you.
Good point. No, as long as links are not spammy af google cant really tell are they brought or not except when posts is actually marked as sponsored.
I'm 99% sure that 70-80% buying links and sponsored posts simply because we are not living in past anymore. 15y ago if you have a good site that provided some content, you were getting hundreds of links from forums around the world. Nowadays, how many forums do we really have, especially with do follow attribute? Close to non. I can say that blackhatworld forum is based on 90% scammers and blackhatlinks selling PBN shit, yes, it is 40dr + but It's still shit.
Of course, creating valuable content is crucial, but sometimes guest posting on reputable blogs is impossible for free, and guest posting marketplaces make life easier for many website owners and marketers.
yeah, BHW has become not a forum where you can find the answer to the question, but some kind of advertising agency, but is this advertising worth the money? I think not.
I've looked into buying links but the value just isn't there. They are typically low quality backlinks when you purchase, and I've never saw real return from this practice. I also know that it is against Google's Terms of Service but as others have said, unless Google "knows" they don't know. I'm more concerned with the spammy nature of these sites which is a red flag for Google anyway.
There has long ago formed a community of dozens of companies that take all the reputation for themselves, because they have already pumped and popular accounts there. No one will turn to a newcomer for services if a big company offers its services. Otherwise, if the budget is limited
I agree with you. If you are considering buying a link insertion, it is essential to research and ensure you are getting a good deal. You should check the site from A to Z to ensure that it is reputable and the links are high-quality.
You are not correct. Large companies have high prices, especially if they have been in the market for a long time. But for a newcomer, the desire to work and have a passion for the job is required. It may sound silly, but it's a fact.
