Your thoughts on buying backlinks?
-
-
I think "no" is just popular answer. You should buy links if you need it, but in big business thinking about content is more important.
-
Everybody always says no, no, no to this question and to be honest, it makes me feel like my head's going to explode. Show me a very competitive ecommerce category where the top of the SERPs aren't dominated by organizations buying links. I can't find one.
Or to put it differently, to those who say no, show us a competitive keyword where you've been able to outrank large organizations buying links.

I ditto the no. If its too good to be true..............
-
Take the time spent on thinking and researching purchased links and spend it on developing great content and building solid relationships.

You might check out the backlinks to their own site in Open Site Explorer at http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=simplybacklinks.com%2F&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=external&target=domain&group=0
Here are two examples from the first few on the list:

As far as SEO goes, buying backlinks is just a No-No, getting 500 high PR links in 7-14 days... when you previously didnt have even half that, Google aren't that stupid, at the end of the day, buying back links can potentially do a lot more harm than good

Lol, can't argue with that answer, No says all that needs to be said
-
That is the shortest answer i have ever seen Ryan give.
I can agree on all of it
-
I thought so.

NO

Backlink Transparency with SEO Agency
Hello everyone. I recently started working with an SEO agency and today they gave me an updated keyword report which showed some increase in rankings. I was not aware that any backlinks had been created yet so I asked for a report of the links. Their response is below and I am just wondering if this is normal practice being I have not worked with any type of SEO agency yet. "

Hey Daniel, We release a small report on them which the guest blog team will do soon. We don't reveal all backlink sources unfortunately because people have tried to bother the webmasters we have and basically steal our techniques. But rest assured you will be ranking at the top of the pack with our methods 😃

Could anyone help me with this fake site I found in my backlink profile?
The site is masquerading as 'yurbuds' store, a brand of headphones, but in SERPs, as seen in the image below, the content on the site is actually of one of my other sites. Has anyone seen anything like this before? How would it have happened? My instinct is to disavow. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance! IvDcE

I knew better, but did it anyway. Should I keep these backlinks?
Out of desperation (lack of time and knowing we were way behind competitors on backlinks) - I went to Fivvr and ordered 50 "high quality" backlinks. I know there are no shortcuts, but this weak little voice push through and said, "Just maybe...it's so cheap, what's the harm?" Well, I should have listened to the rationale voice which is typically so much more assertive! What to do now? *Note - I haven't had time to review them all, but at 1st glance, it appears they are off-topic, spammy blog comments 😞 - snapshot of links: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9d23c93o1ryrhv1/Screenshot 2016-09-21 11.49.26.png?dl=0 Check each page to see if the rank suggested is correct and leave links with legit high page rank? They are all garbage, try to remove them immediately - is this even possible? Watch to see if rank is positively or negatively affected, then go about taking them down if needed? Other suggestions? (Besides don't do that again, stupid.)

Backlink level of domain authority
Hi, we are trying to build on the number of good quality links. One idea we had is to provide testimonials for a number of suppliers websites. Which would include a link from our company name back to our site. Is there a certain level of domain authority we should only do this for? For example if a supplier only has a domain authority of 11 should we not get a back link? Many Thanks
