          I am searching for backlink vendors, only english-speaking websites, financial topic. Another option is business, news, technologies, cryptocurrencies related sites. Only high-quality, active and developed websites, real traffic, no spam. If you have some contacts of vendors of such kind (or if you have access to the right website), please share emails - would really appreciate that!

            Hi there,

            As others have said, buying links is against Google Webmaster Guidelines and if they find you doing it, it can lead to a penalty and depending on how bad the problem is, the penalty can range from losing a bit of traffic to you not appearing for your own brand name.

            I won't lie - buying links can still work and I see websites doing it all the time. But you need to be aware of the risks if you're going down that route and if you're working with a business that relies on traffic from Google in order to survive, the consequences can be severe.

            Hope that helps!

            Paddy

              Don't buy links, earn links! Great quality content and outreach in a manor befitting your site and status will bring rewards, where as buying links may earn short term gain, they will ultimately have a negative end result.

                Agree with thr above. Don’t buy links. Spend those resources on doing your own link acquisition strategies such as creating high quality content onsite and amplifying this to attract natural backlinks. I know it’s not easy, but you’ve got to work hard to reap rewards that will benefit you for the longterm.

                Goodluck!

                  Easy way to "buy" backlinks, in style, without running afoul of webmaster guidelines.

                  Step 1: curate a list of all the sites you want a backlink from
                  Step 2: get the emails of the webmasters there - lots of tools and methods for this, both automated and manual
                  Step 3: use customer match on Google or Custom Audiences on Facebook to upload your email list of webmasters you picked
                  Step 4: use targeted ads to get your content in front of this audience

                  This really only works if you don't have garbage content. But basically you advertise this content only to people who actually have a website and would consider linking to you and voila. You've basically "bought" backlinks.

                    Do keyword/competitor research and create compelling content that is great link bait. Inbound links will organically occur if the content is useful. Repeat this many times and traffic will increase for these landing pages and push your DA up. It's difficult, and requires much times/resources. This is a better route than buying links that can get you hurt you in the future. Good luck!

                        Does this count as a backlink to my category page?

                        I am ranking high with a certain category page and I am reading that I need backlinks to that page. It is going to be a challenge to get a backlink to that specific category page but how about this? Category page URL: www.mysite.com/category/name Backlink to this URL: www.mysite.com/category/name/specific-blog-post (EDIT: Apparently these types of links don't exist! I went into the category page and clicked on a blog post and it just gave me the www.mysite.com/blah-blah-blah) Will that count as a backlink to the category page? Right now I am only getting backlinks to these blog posts: www.mysite.com/this-is-a-blog-post Any help appreciated! EDIT: Well I guess now my question is worthless. But if you have any input, it would be appreciated.

                        How does Google treat multiple backlinks on the same page?

                        Hello mozCrew Just a quick yay or nay. We have an embeddable code on our site for customers who want to post our link on their website listed here: http://www.accupos.com/etc/embed-code-restaurants.php But in our link, there are actually 2 separate links, one branding link that says the name of our company, AccuPOS, and another link which targets a specific target keyword "Restaurant POS Software". My question is, does Google only give credit for the branding link, since it is listed FIRST? Or will we get double credit? Is this a good or bad practice, and what would you recommend? Thank you! Derek Moore

                        Is there a risk that Google will de-index your site or lower your ranking if you have too many backlinks from free classifed sites?  I would just use 1 free ad per classified website.  Thanks.
