Cheap Services, Are They Really Effective???

[volaer]

Hey guys!!! I was shocked to see some people here in the forum that offers 2000-10000 backlinks from forums, profiles, blog comments, article submission, etc... for $16...

Are these offers really worth it?

I do SEO... and I know my system works because my keywords can rank well on Google (granted of course that it is not RIDICULOUSLY highly competitive) . However, I do a mixture of manual link building and automatic link building.

I usually offer my services for about $197 because this takes about 2-3 weeks work. First half to be paid before the start of the campaign, while the second half to be paid, IF and AFTER the keyword ranks and reaches the first page of Google.

However, I was really shocked for the the CHEAPEST SEO job offerings here. I can't believe it... Any feedback from these offers??? Or am I really charging too much for a campaign that I know works well???

Any body from this forum can give a feed back on this matter?

If they're cheap, why not test them and answer it for yourself?

What if they are not really worth it??? As Google changed its algorithm, my site will suffer a lot from those crappy backlinks (if they are). It's not worth testing on my part especially that my sites have good standing in Google for specific keywords.

So if there are really people here who have tested these services, and have a good feedback, then probably I would test it myself.

some of the cheap services real while some are not, so be wise in taking decision's

Cheap links are usually xrumer blasts or scrapebox blasts, or bookmarking demon blasts, ie, software used to create a ton of low quality links. They can work, depends how good your keyterm targeting is.

Thanks! So ranking still boils down to:
1. Competitiveness
2. High or Low quality links.

So if the keyword is quite competitive, it won't still do much in creating a good ranking.

I just did a research about this xrumer and scrapebox blast. Seems like they are black hat.... Just what I suspected.

It works... but still very risky. Cheap, but way too risky... I would rather not do it and stick to what I am doing.
