I buy links sometimes and see nothing wrong with it. If someone is starting an online business they should be able to go and freely market it instead of having to wait around for two years for traffic to come around. Though someone above mentioned '$11 a month you may get up to 10,000 links'. I would be interested in where I can find that kind of deal.

@Dennis – if you can do it without paid links, that’s great. I have a few sites that have made it there on their own, but it depends a lot on competition and also how much time you have to develop natural links.

@Tertius – this bullet point on their site for advertisers concerns me:

“Prices of links are the lowest on the market. For as low as $11 a month you may get up to 10,000 static links to your website.”

For one thing, you get what you pay for…$11 is too cheap. Also, you don’t want 10,000 links suddenly showing up, and the quality of those links can’t be good. I’d pass on this one!

As some have said, it takes "years" to get a good ranking and that's how google wants it. This has been disproven time and time again, even by google themselves. I haven't done the link buying, maybe I'll have to test it. What about tnx.net? Tertiuss last blog post..Testing a hosting provider before you commit - 4 steps

Umm, no actually I don’t, sorry to disappoint lol.

Perhaps I am the whitest (hat) man on the net, but if it’s wrong I just don’t do it, nor do I advise others too.

This is not a slight against others, it’s just me

@Roger – I haven’t read anything recently.

@zncustombuilding – and they never will…

@Computer Desks – they will always try to find paid links, which is why most are under the radar now.

@Pallab – TLA is a good company to work with.

@SEO Orange County – I totally agree with you. I don’t like “Interwebs” at all. Stricly one-shot deals.

@Personal Blog – the guy knows what he is doing – PR doesn’t mean anything, especially if you’re on page 1!!

@Wes – definitely!

@Dennis – when you’re selling something, and being on page 1 of Google means thousands of dollars…you buy links!

@Kathy – Problem is, most people don’t want to wait years to make money. I have noticed that the quality, rather than quantity of links is starting to count for more, which helps the little guys.

@SEO Services – I agree.

@Name Badges – I think we’re all a little “gray hat.”

Paid links are usually my last ditch effort for a customer. If the end of the contract is coming up, and they’re demanding results, the white hat has to come off.

If a paid link opportunity is intriguing enough, I usually evaluate the other links on the site to see if they’re related to the site I’m pursuing the link for. If there are a bunch of unrelated sites that could be easily recognized by Google, then it’s too risky.

If you look at Google’s motives surrounding paid links, you’ll see that Google is based on the “PhD” mindset. In order for their bots to be able to “judge” the “quality” of a web site’s “content”, they use incoming links as an indicator.

Google LIKES the fact that it takes YEARS for a site to establish itself with one way incoming links.

With this in mind, you can BET that Google is doing everything within their power (read: anything money can buy!) to hunt down and destroy these “paid” links.

If you’ve figured out a way to buy links and elude detection up until now, stay on your toes and know that the engineers at Google are positively OBSESSED with finding a way to catch you! When they do, it won’t be pretty!

Never bought or sold a link myself. No plans to either as far as I know...and not just because of the Google wrath, I could care less. Dennis Edells last blog post..Contest Over: Prizes Coming - Link Love First!

Look if a site like cnn, myspace, facebook etc would allow me to buy a backlink from them for a reasonable price I think most of us would take up on that offer especially if it means an immediately page rank and unique visitor bump.

Something must be done for paid link purchases, It makes people jump even without PR. I have seen a website with PR0 and is ranked on top amongst millions of pages. The guy is a serious link buyer. Personal Blogs last blog post..End of an era, Sourav Ganguly the best Indian Captain so far
