Buy links VS Not buy links

What do you mean buy links? Paid traffic?

Francisco,

You can compete without buying links, but it may take some time...

1. Indirectly, you can simply continue adding (gradually) more content to your site. An important aspect of this strategy is to create internal links from the new content pages, to existing pages where you are already competing.

2. Guest posting on other peoples blogs, is another way to get backlinks, but be selective about what sites you choose to post to (concentrate on related sites, and/or broad niche authority sites). If your competitors have bought backlinks in bulk, they are probably low-quality links and creating links from more related sites will help your site gain "authority".

3. If you have multiple web sites, interlink between them where it makes sense (essentially creating your own backlinks). Be very selective about this. It's not the number of backlinks that count... but the quality of those links. If you have the opportunity to do this, it may also be helpful to host those "related" sites on different web hosts, so that they are served from different IP blocks.

NONE of this will give you overnight results, but over a 6-8 month period you can begin to overcome the "artificial" rankings of your competitors that depend primarily on backlinks that were purchased in bulk.

Buying links, or paying people to create them for you which is something I do from my site, is something a LOT of people do.

In some niches the ONLY way to rank is to build links yourself/hire people to do it.

Depends on your morals and what success you want.

In most niches, even easy competition, buying links is necessary to compete.

A few different options - PBN's are one of the most powerful and working now. You can build your own or buy from others. Make sure they're safe if you're linking directly to money site, e.g. different CMS platforms, different IP's, handwritten content, excellent SEO stats.

Best place to find these is Warriors for Hire.

There's also links from magazine style publications. BuzzFeed, Huffington Post etc. Perfect offline businesses, resellers, instant credibility for your business/website. A lot more expensive than PBN's e.g. 12 PBN links for 1 BuzzFeed Link.

Warriors for Hire or Reciprocal Links are the best places for these links.

Always recommend using a combination of white and grey SEO. Buy links, but don't just do that. Use other traffic sources such as Facebook ads, Outbrain, social to drive traffic, which will inherently boost SEO as well.
