buying links

[Kinembe]

ok, i see that i can buy links from high ranking sites. do these kind of links help out? if i am a zero pr and i get some pr 6 to point at me, will that really make that big of a difference and if so, i'm guessing improve myrank? can anybody speak from experience with buying links?

i have some pretty new sites with low and no rank and was wondering if trying to get a bunch of relavant sites with low rank is worth it. these sites to me look more like link exchanges rather than a relavant link.

Yes, buying links that have high pr will raise yours. However, just buying one pr6 link will not get your PR0 site up to a 5 (even though I have seen it happen) - you must also get a variety of links pointing to your site using variations of anchor text.

I, personally, would argue against this form of SEO, Kinembe. First of all, pagerank is overrated, imo, and your efforts might better be used trying to form relationships through mutual links with appropriate websites.

These links will improve your serps, a much better outcome than just having a good pr.

The search engines came after the link farms hard and heavy and now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop...

They seem to have a lot of shoes up there so I'm not sure which one will be hitting us.

how would you define "a link farm"?

Google PR

It is said that Google do not like users who buy links for Page Rank.

One main rule is don't get too many links at once; any action of links to your site should look as if they have been done over time and naturally.

Trying to fake PageRank is like trying to fake anything else and asking for trouble.

If you get a Link for your media site...from a Ice Cream site, I am not sure hopw much good that's going to do you. The Search Engines seem to be looking for relevant links (as well as natural-natural) So now you have to ask yourself which of your competitors is going to sell His PR to help you?

Your money is better invested in the Big Directories and towards making your site SEO Clean and Full

I don't know if it helps to buy links from a high ranking web site, but I have had a few companies contact us recently about buying links for their clients. I have sold a few and they come back to buy more. They seem to know what they are doing, and it is easy money for me.

[Kinembe]

ok then how much should a link be worth? i'm seeing one imparticular pr 5 for $25. to me, 25 bucks to jumpstart a new sites pr seems reasonable...BUT the sites home page has a 5 and the link page is a 4 what would that mean?

and how quickly should i expect to see a change in my pr if i'm gonna see any at all?

[Hal in Texas]

They have been paying me from $98 to $330 per year for links on the main page of the web site. I think the important thing is that the links are on the main page. I put them in with other links or near the bottom of the page. They are happy with the links and bring me more clients.

Buy links only for the relevant, qualified traffic they can deliever, not becuase of the PR of the page itself.
