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

Best way to index backlinks
We have created many high authority back links for our clients and after several months we have noticed 10% or so have actually been indexed (via multiple sources). I am trying to find a way to easily get these backlinks indexed. There is a bunch of software out there, some create RSS feeds and others social bookmark these pages. Any suggestions?

On-Page Report Rel Canonical and keyword density and backlinks...
Hey guys, 1- In the On-Page Report the "Appropriate Use of Rel Canonical" is not checked and it says <dl> <dt>Canonical URL "http://www.mydomain.com/"</dt> <dt>We check to make sure that IF you use canonical URL tags, it points to the right page. If the canonical tag points to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank.</dt> <dt>the domain points to the right page... Im not understading why its checked off..??? could it be because the canonical url has the ".com/" instead of just ".com" ???</dt> <dt>2- it also shows that the Total Keyword Usage for this Page = 33 , is this good or bad? too little or too much?</dt> <dt>3- Also when building backlinks should I include the ".com/" or ".com" ??</dt> <dt>Thank you in advance! </dt> </dl>

Are "Content Farms" still good for backlinking in articles?
Out of morbid curiosity, are "Content Farms" still a good source to use for backlinking within articles that you share? I have yet to see some results to base an answer off of for myself. Some co-workers are wanting to utilize sites like Suite101, ArticlesBase, etc for sharing articles and gaining the benefit of getting some backlinks from these sites. Is this still a good tactic to utilize? My research is telling me no since the Panda Update... Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks!
