Is using dedicated link sites any benefit?

Hi gurus,

I am currently trying a new business and obviously a part of that at the moment is to get the old Google ranking issue. I am using Moz tools to analyse other websites and see a large number using these dedicated (spammy looking) websites with a plethora of links. Obviously there is no content here and it is what I assume is all the cheap SEO companies take part in to obtain mass backlinks. So my question is, even though these pages have high PA and DA, is there any benefit in also listing on these sites?

They are obviously backlinks yes, they come from high PA and DA sources, but aren't "real sites". I would assume Google would weed these out at some stage? However they haven't seem to have done that yet?

Any advice / opinion welcomed!

Regards,
Another confused newbie...

    This sounds like PBNs (Private Blog Networks) to me. Search the forum or make a Google search if you want to understand the phenomenon.

    You're right, it's inherently risky to use these kind of services. If the network operator is experienced and the P in PBN really stands for Private (and not Public) there's a change that these can run for years without a hitch. If the links are sold to just about anyone the risks increase considerably.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?
