Buying Links
What is your advice to clients who want to buy links for their website?
Do you tell them about the warnings that Google has issued? Do you tell them to concentrate on purchasing quality links from places like the Yahoo Directory or do you tell them to go out and buy as many links as they can get their hands on?
Sometimes desperation drives people to buy links from neighbourhoods that Matt Cutts would consider as bad and their clients would too. Would you buy a link that put your business on the same page as links to some shady websites?
Sometimes buying cheap links does far more damage than you might think … but then, as a professional web designer, you should know that.
