You know . we have different kind of strategies and techniques to get quality links for our blog or site. i am here to discuss about the worst link building technique which i hate. I don't like Links purchasing. Bad way to obtain back links also the worst offense you can commit under Google law. This is why you shouldn't purchase back links. if you purchase links, you have to pay monthly or weekly for this task or it would be removed, making this a potentially expensive, and limited, strategy. It is risky. Google has a firm, no questions asked policy against buying links. If you’re caught, there’s no doubt about a manual penalty being involved — only the severity. Link purchaser and seller both parties are operating with the understanding of how Google value’s links, and using it against them. If you purchased enough links you could rank practically any sites back in the day. Dean
I agree with you Dean, As well a big risk nowadays is the Link Exchange - I know many websites with a very good SERP that were penalized after this kind of link exchanging program that affected all of them since one website was using some "spamming methods". The human intervention over the websites is more and more present. It seems that in the last 3 months Google was using this methods with a higher success, I'm sure that Hummingbird is capable to light the "red bulb" with a higher efficiency now
I think, article, guest post exchange can replace link exchange then it would be safe... you can exchange content as well.
agree, buying paid links is always a risk, if google find any footprint that lead to the source, you can get penalized. But still lot of people buying them, some people are careful and stick to some private sources, while other buy them through open sources.
The influence of a reciprocate link for a search engine is not the same as what it use to be. Search Engine can easily identify these links between websites, and removing the impact it would have had in the past.
"Commit under Google law" .. say that again PLEASE? Aside that there is no such thing as Google law, and if you abide by the "policy" that google has on link building a praise them as the almighty GOD of internet, then your only chance to get a link is: Keep on writing/building something, tell people offline or privately about your venture/project and cross your fingers and pray for them to link you.
There is no any algo in google to detect the paid or nonpaid links. All you have to follow is on the relevancy of the links.
Link Purchasing are considered as the fastest way to get your site ranked instantly. However, it is against the Natural SEO which affects organic search result. And most importantly, it's unethical with other site owners who believe in creating Natural link.
My advice os stear clear of any places that do author bio or even say guest post. also you need to keep it natural with longtail going to inner posts and links to other helpful sites. just 1 link is too obvious.
Totally agree with you Dean. Link purchasing is the lowest form of cheap link-building strategies that one can involve in.
Dean I completely agree with you. If anyone follow the guideline and do things properly then it will be easy to get legit backlinks. Now it's time for quality not quantity.
Yes @dean1122 link purchasing which can hurt as lot sometimes if it's caught by Google then all efforts are gone moreover we should build a genuine link as now people started to submit guest post but they are doing for the sack of just back links by sharing the same content in other blog using same anchor text and not giving valuable information in the content hope this too will get notified by Google already for blog commenting Matt cutts suggested use name while commenting rather then keywords so more changes will happen soon in link building technique
White Hat, the way to go is def social media now. Honestly, I don't see much ground in the convnetial link building field without going blackhat. And only pyramid systems work blackhat now.
