Be Careful buying links in webmaster forums

If you are looking to purchase some links through various webmaster forums marketplaces, you should be extra careful from what sites you are buying links. With google crackdown on link sellers, almost all the good websites have stopped selling links and majority of those people who hang out in link selling marketplaces are only building websites to sell links.

In the past 10 days, I looked into marketplaces of 4 webmaster forums and the quality of the links offered was ridiculously low. Sites and Blogs are filled with links about mortgage and finance links (which trigger filters for manual reviews) and buying links on such sites is very risky and the chances are, after 4 months, they will lose their PR for selling links and you won’t be getting any kind of link juice from them.

So you have a lot to lose and very little to gain. From my past experience, I have seen only 1 out of 20 proposals being good enough so its not even worth the time to screen best offers. In the past I have tried to hire people on commission basis, like if you can get a good quality link which I can approve, you will get 25% of the link value and it did worked to an extent in saving time for me. If this is feasible for you, you can try to do this.

    I have bought links on DigitalPoint and can safely say that they are totally useless. Same can be said about v7n which should be shut down by now
