Bought backlinks but did not see any results

Hi warriors,

I have bought back-link service from someone on this forum and he seemed to be very active/popular in the forums. He created around 2000 backlinks 2-3 weeks ago and provided me the urls , but I don't think Google check the directories (probably operated by him) at all. From backlinkwatch and majesticseo, I can see that the backlinks I created from various blogs are there but not the ones he created. He keeps telling me that it will take time. What do you guys think? What should I do?

    Index your backlinks =) It does take time for Google to find your links.

    Yes, It takes time.
    Search Engine will crawl your links at their regular time interval.
    Also you ping your backlinks, so that SE can know about your links and crawl them.

    I believe it should be his job to ping them right? I tried pinging my own blogs via pingler.com but did not see any effects. What do you think?

        Well, all I am saying is that it has to be his job to ping back-links when I buy a service like this. Am I wrong?

          If he hasn't said he will, then "no" - that is not his job.

    Buying backlinks is not an appreciable thing. Google does't consider buying backlink as your backlinks.

    Google doesn't really know which links have been bought or which ones are netural. Is far as I know there are only good links and bad links and everything in-between. Ping your links and give it some time.

    If you think it should be his job or he said he would do it then approach him whith that.

  • these are your low quality, bottom level links, think of it like a pyramid, you want google to find these 2000 links over the course of the next few months while you create other higher quality links.

    google will find them over time and it will look more consistent, natural if it find thems over say 2-3 months instead of all within a week.

    They are cheap and low quality, create them and just forget about them for a month, start creating more powerful backlinks, if they dont get indexed in 1 month, then ping them again.

    these sort of link are just set and forget imo

    Building backlinks doesn't produce instant results. It takes time.
    If you want to get instant results try Adwords or PPC.

      Dear warriors, thank you for your responses. I did not buy directly back links from someone, I bought SEO services from a member of this community. The guy wrote articles and submitted to various directories. I believe he used article marketing robot. As you know there are many people providing similar services in sub-forums.

      My problem is that this guy was appraised by many members and I wonder if this was a setup or not with incorporation of other members. He won't give me a clear explanation on why google does not see the backlinks but when he markets his services he says it takes less than couple weeks to raise in Google. I purchased his services because I believed in other members' positive comments. Basically my $100 is gone because I am assuming this guy used his own directories, which have low PR value.

        Alright man, time to reel in your expectations - How is this guy supposed to explain why google is or is not finding your backlinks? Does he know something that none of us do about google? Secondly, you don't want to ping all of these low quality links because it looks unnatural and will likely result in some sort of penalty or flag. Backlink vendors will generally leave this choice up to the customer. Finally, this guy most likely does not maintain his own directories. If he used AMR, he submitted to a bunch of other peoples low quality directories.

        Here is the deal: There is no magic bullet. Some backlinks work better than others, but your mileage will vary. I have sites that I have blasted hundreds of backlinks to directly via AMR. Guess what? It didn't help any. I am sorry you lost 100 dollars thinking that this AMR blast would be the answer to your problems, but in reality, low quality directory back links are just a small piece of the puzzle. This does not mean you were defrauded or that your vendor did a bad job or anything less than he promised.

          I see your point bitriot. Ok so why don't we all do the following:
          I buy AMR, start a new thread on the forum and sell my SEO services like this dude. Then you guys just leave me positive comments. Is that cool? When my customers complain, I simply don't answer them.

          I am not looking for a magic bullet. I am looking for honest people who can provide quality services. Obviously, I am going to read the threads and favor the services recommended by others instead of searching google for backlink service providing companies.

            Ok, first of all, your post was not about customer service so who knows about that. I'm sorry he is not as communicative as you would like. But nothing he says is going to make you happy anyhow.

            Second off, you could buy AMR and offer your service and do the exact same thing that this fellow is doing with roughly the same effectiveness. Sorry to break it to you.

            If a bunch of people recommended his service, they probably thought he did a good job. You on the other hand, have not seen instant results and as a result, you think he did a poor job. There is nothing to reconcile here. Live and learn - you now know that you don't like AMR backlinks. This still doesn't mean that the vendor scammed you, or did anything less than promised, agreed to and paid for. Sorry.

              Before purchasing WSO's here are a few tips:
              • You must know SEO or you will get taken for a ride
              • Ask for permanent indexed links
              • Ask others that received the service if they can vouch or verify this info
              • Ask for previous samples and reports. Verify this information using the software of you choice
              • Ask questions
              • Be careful of secret networks
              • Start small
              • Be careful of forum profiles links Many Forum Profile Links do not Count as Backlinks!
              There are many offers here on this forum but many are only short term solutions and even temporary. SEO is not a secret and is very transparent. If there is any doubt in your mind from the quality of service or offer then follow your intuition.

    Well with Google's duplicate content filters, submitting the same article to a bunch of different directories doesn't work anymore. You need to have a broad link strategy. If you are going to submit to multiple directories, consider spinning the articles first. I usually have this done manually.

      you are wrong

      you can submit the SAME article to multiple directores (ezine, go, base etc) this is called syndication you are just spreading you article across the web.

      I always publish my article on my blog first, then to ezine and a few others. They always get approved, indexed by google and rank well.

    google ignores "bulk" links lately .. be careful about how you seo your websites .. and don't expect amazing results from these types of services ..

    provide quality content and build trust if you want to succeed
