@Patti McConville – Thanks for the comment and question. I agree with you the SEO world seems to be very diluted with so called “experts”. Only a select few are actually worth the money based on their experience and results that they achieve for their clients. To answer your question, I don’t agree with you, people often miss that its not about buying links but about building the trust factor in the eyes of the search engines by building your business online…Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

Hi Nick,

It seems to me the whole SEO world is all about making money for SEO experts. In my view, if a website has first page ranking they probably not only paid for links but also a lot of money for SEO.

What’s the difference?

@Ruben Zevallos Jr. – Excellent point! I always make sure banners have “no follow” tags on the link and make sure that they will help generate sales and visitors…

To me, always buy link was bad… bad money, bad everything… I think if you have to buy, buy a banner and make a very good ad… so, use marketing for your favor and spent your money wise…

I agree totally and feel that if you want incoming links leave relevant comments on other bloggers sites, set up social networking sites, use wetpaint and squidoo, etc. Not as easy as buying links BUT will not disappear when you stop paying!
