Using Fiverr and others to purchase backlinks... Good Idea?

[One Eyed King Marketing]

I have considered "buying" some fiverr.com offers to provide backlinks from high PR sites and also .edu sites..

Can these be useful or beneficial or will this just a forum spammer posting garbage and tarnishing my site's reputation.

I know the obvious answer is "if it was this magic bullet everyone would do it"

Any suggestions? Ideas , Comments?

when you by gigs go with the rating and i have bought few other gigs and there are good like videos,articles

it will always be trial and error but only $5

My suggestion is go for articles / social bookmarking they are more effective today

Thanks guys. There are so many ways to spend your time/money, I appreciate your perspective on this option.

Do you guys use Fiverr or is there a better one?

I personally use Fiverr from time to time, this help when you have multiple, easy ranking websites. I tend to purchase things I cannot do/do not want to do by myself, such as .edu backlinks, mass forum profile, mass tweeting, etc.
Test various offers and try to figure out what your website is missing, credibility (.edu), longtail keywords (forum profile), social, etc.
Check at the seller's rating and comments, and when you find a good gig, make sure you bookmark it, it worth it's weight of gold.

Hope this help.

There's nothing wrong with buying backlinks from fiverr or elsewhere. Outsourcing SEO is not uncommon at all and can be very effective. Of course the hard part is finding the right workers. If the worker had a good reputation then by all means go for it.

sometimes you get what you pay for...however there are some decent providers on fiverr

From what I have seen and heard, the links are usually from forums, and then only tend to stick for a few months. So if you really track the backlinks, and keep buying packages, it might work.

However, since most people charge more for similar services, I find it difficult to believe that I can really get 1,000 links (I see that a lot) that are good and relevant for just $5.

I have been using fiver for the past month, and it has been a great help for building backlinks to my site!

As known, a backlink is a backlink, but too many at once is also not good, though you might not get any penalty due to it, but if you get too many at once your backlinks might get discounted and not counted as you might have wanted it to. Also, some of the packages sold at fiverr are just junk IMO, after all it is only that much money can give.

I bought 15 .edu backlinks and guess what. These turned out to be comment spam. One link was placed on a blog post that already had 7,000 outgoing links. I also bought a list of thousands of edu blogs where I can post comment myself, but after checking out 5-6 sites I gave up. I can give you that list for free.
I also bought a single homepage link on PR3 site that month later dropped to PR2. It's still good, because it's a relevant link.

It is really difficult to find gems on fiverr. I use them for article writing only, since I can edit the articles fully before I post. But I would not suggest buying backlinks for money sites from there as most of them are repeatedly spamming the same sites again and again. More of a spam than being useful.

when it comes to links (most especially) always go for Quality first...and it ain't going to be $5 only...
