What Does Google Think About Paid Links?
Google is very clear about paid links. They don't like them. Google even has an official form that enables webmasters to report paid links to Google:
"Google and most other search engines
use links to determine reputation. A site's ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it.
Link-based analysis is an extremely useful way of measuring a site's value, and has greatly improved the quality of web search. Both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of links count towards this rating.
However, some SEOs and webmasters engage in the practice of buying and selling links that pass PageRank, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google's webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact a site's ranking
in search results."
So the best advice is to avoid buying and selling links lest you face the wrath of Google. Instead, spend the time building your own back links. Not only will those back links help your website rank higher in search results, but they will also send traffic directly to your website.
But building back links from scratch can be confusing and time-consuming. Luckily, there are tools available (like MasterLinker) to help you build high-quality back links quickly. Get started today building your backlinks and you will quickly see increased traffic.
The result is you can convert those additional visitors to sales, which enables you to make more money from your website.
