Hey is it true that the site which gives out back link options and which is high on PR, eventually Google would disregard it? is it worth going for backlink from such site?

I absolutely hate to see some of the Gorillas in Google be at the top of the search engines. Who monitors their paid links. What can you do when that webmaster is doing everything he can to try and sabotage your sites through erronious emails to Google and yet his site keeps climbing?

@ pot artist,I agree with that as well..I had to champion a team of link analyst to detect spam but never got around to it.

I was actually very much intrigued with your spam detectives. We have been experiencing a lot of spam and have been troubled with frauds coming from China and India. I was tasked to police our campaigns but it seems that unlike you I don’t have access to the world’s greatest spam detectors.

You know I have always tried to play fair and follow the rules in my SEO work. Recently I have a new client and their competitors are spamming like crazy. I did report them twice just out of general principle and not because they are competitors. I happened to have found them because of anaylzing my client’s competitors. These guys have probably 100’s of sites with almost the same content…why are they still up and getting high rankings? I could report them again through my google account–wish I had known to do that before. But I am not sure.

I agree - backlinks can have problems expecially if Google does treat them as paid manipulate.

I personally don’t think buying links will work at all. Finding a related links for our site and buying the link will automatically do us more damage than good results. It’s interesting to read this whole story, really it is. Thank you for a clear explanation of all these things.

You don’t need paid links according to the ‘online shopping’ serp in Google.com.au. All you need to do is comment spam by hand and register small votes it seems like. I noticed one site buying links too and another guy that just comments in popular threads on authourity domains. Cool serps dude

The irony of Rugs’ comment in this thread just cracks me up.

“I think that buying back links really doesn’t work – in fact, every time I’ve seen a company do it (or heard about it) it seems to do more damage than good. Rather, as you say, get a guy in with good SEO abilities (or pay the one you’ve got well if he’s doing a good job.) Lastly, get some sort of a blog going so you can register on bookmark sites. But buying backlinks only makes those you’re buying from richer (and they always seem to be a strange bunch)”
