Linkbuilding - DIY Software or Paid Links?

Link building is the process of acquiring hyperlinks from other web sites to your own. A hyperlink is a way for users to navigate between pages on the internet. Search engines use links to crawl the web; they will crawl the links between the individual pages on your website, and they will crawl the links between entire web sites.

Yeah, I also think you should not use software, as Google now so smart to find out ur cheating

Thanks guys. So you all do it manually?

How is that possible? It takes so much time.

As everyone else has said, if you are using automated link building software it's a recipe for a Penguin penalty and fast!

I also do not advocate buying links because it is against Google's Webmaster Guidelines. I know there are people here who do not believe it, but Google almost always either discovers paid links or sees a pattern that suggests the links on a site are paid and automatically devalues them. It may not happen overnight and you may be able to get away with paid links for months or years. Once it is discovered, though, you can count on losing Google's trust FOREVER for that website. So many people who thought they were rich one day, found out that they were out of business and soon to be poor after getting penalized by Google.

As others have said, the only safe way to get links is manually, one by one. If you are trying to build a real business, it takes real work. There are plenty of people spending hundreds and thousands of dollars each year, buying into programs that promise them easy, push button riches. The only people making easy money are the ones that are selling that pipe dream. Work hard, do it the right way, and you will have a real business that grows and lasts forever.

Neither. DIY private blog networks

Yes but it's the only way to control / remove any link if it hurts your site.
And it's cheaper than buying seo services too
