Would buying links get you banned from Google ? SEO Tips Day 7
Getting backlinks to your website is definitely the most important thing to do in SEO. But how do you handle it ? Link exchanges don’t work any more. Link baits, are good but they might take long to get the results you want as its a natural process.
Many webmasters lose patience with the natural link building methods, writing clever articles and waiting to get the links. Its not a fruitful exercise most of the time.
So the next best option with immediate results is buying links (unfortunately).
The problem with buying links is that -
- Though you may think its a nice deal, you would’ve gathered completely irrelevant links.
- You take the huge risk of getting your site banned.
- You also take the huge risk of connecting to a bad neighbourhood.
So yes, buying links can get you banned from Google’s search index. So unless you a have huge fan following and “other methods of promotion”, stay away from buying links.
p.s – Though buying links are often troublesome, you sometimes have to take the dive and buy a few links just to get some traction at least initially. But make sure you buy only relevant links and take a lot of time finding out possible relevant partners, and not a link vendor who’d sell links to anyone who pays him.
Alternatively, you could use link baits, or resourceful articles from your site to get linked contextually, thereby minimizing the risk.

I think link exchanges still have value, In my case I try to make blogroll link exchanges with blogs with higher authority and PR than mine, this has given me some good results.
Buying links that are presented as organic links is what can be troublesome and get you banned. Buying links that are clearly labeled as adverstising will not have a negative effect. For this is essentially is what adsense is.
Although, I am concerned that the FTC new ruling may possible include paid links.
What does buying links mean here? Are they mean paid links?
i completely agree with you mani, but still i come across many sites those ranking on top with tons and tons of irrelevant links. Am sure you too aware of that, now how google is looking those links?
