In her blog post, Is Link Building Worth Your Time?, Chelsea Blacker says there is the preconception that buying text link ads is dishonest and cheating the system prevails online. She isn’t the only person buying links. Chelsea says she just feels like she is the only one who will admit to it.
The big danger is buying spammy links, often from foreign agencies. But Chelsea has worked with some small Eastern European link building consultants who got some great links with high PageRank.
Chelsea is proud to say she buys link building services because it means she can better optimize her day to focus on more important consulting activities.
Maybe it’s time you reconsider buying text links to free up time and focus on more important parts of your business.
