Buying quality link will affect your rankings good or bad

By Serkan Livingstone

Buying links from a tightly controlled network is a recipe for disaster; networks are easily detected I believe. For example, you don't have to just worry about just the links you're getting, but the backlinks of the sites that are linking to you.

Buying links can be done through link broker networks. Link broker networks allow you to search through a large database of Web site owners who have agreed to sell Web site links. Buying links for the traffic does not seem to be the best way to spend money either as text link traffic can be very thin. This whole text link slap does not bother me at all.

Buying links is like covert advertising. If you do it the right way, it adds value to both the movie and your brand.

For example, you don't have to just worry about just the links you're getting, but the backlinks of the sites that are linking to you. Buying links there could trip a filter.

Google doesnt like link buyers, or sellers. But if you are dying to spend money on advertising then why not try PPC? Google comes in a day or so. Google has always rewarded good ol' fashioned link exchange when it benefits the end user and when it occurs at natural to low volume. That will never change because it's what makes the web a web.

Google is playing with fire when it tries to mess with the way things were done before it came on the scene. People will just stop building content because there are less means to monetize it.

Google has asked that Internet users report sites that have paid links. Its a laughable suggestion. Google came the day after. Never before since 1997, have I managed to get all the major crawlers to come and spider within 48 hours.

When you buy links,Google sees it as manipulating their search results, and will try to penalize you if they catch you doing it.

Google has no idea if money changed hands for linking, they just assume that any links from a website or blog to another website or blog that has different subject matter is a bought link. Google comes in a day or so.
