Where to buy high quality backlinks in 2018?
-
I am searching for backlink vendors, only english-speaking websites, financial topic. Another option is business, news, technologies, cryptocurrencies related sites. Only high-quality, active and developed websites, real traffic, no spam. If you have some contacts of vendors of such kind (or if you have access to the right website), please share emails - would really appreciate that!

Hi there,
As others have said, buying links is against Google Webmaster Guidelines and if they find you doing it, it can lead to a penalty and depending on how bad the problem is, the penalty can range from losing a bit of traffic to you not appearing for your own brand name.
I won't lie - buying links can still work and I see websites doing it all the time. But you need to be aware of the risks if you're going down that route and if you're working with a business that relies on traffic from Google in order to survive, the consequences can be severe.
Hope that helps!

Don't buy links, earn links! Great quality content and outreach in a manor befitting your site and status will bring rewards, where as buying links may earn short term gain, they will ultimately have a negative end result.

Agree with thr above. Don’t buy links. Spend those resources on doing your own link acquisition strategies such as creating high quality content onsite and amplifying this to attract natural backlinks. I know it’s not easy, but you’ve got to work hard to reap rewards that will benefit you for the longterm.
Goodluck!

Easy way to "buy" backlinks, in style, without running afoul of webmaster guidelines.
Step 1: curate a list of all the sites you want a backlink from
Step 2: get the emails of the webmasters there - lots of tools and methods for this, both automated and manual
Step 3: use customer match on Google or Custom Audiences on Facebook to upload your email list of webmasters you picked
Step 4: use targeted ads to get your content in front of this audienceThis really only works if you don't have garbage content. But basically you advertise this content only to people who actually have a website and would consider linking to you and voila. You've basically "bought" backlinks.

Do keyword/competitor research and create compelling content that is great link bait. Inbound links will organically occur if the content is useful. Repeat this many times and traffic will increase for these landing pages and push your DA up. It's difficult, and requires much times/resources. This is a better route than buying links that can get you hurt you in the future. Good luck!

Ways to remove spammy backlinks
Hello everyone, I got hit with an algorithm penalty and need to start removing old backlinks ASAP. Does anyone have any good resources on how best to ask webmasters for removal? Are there any other ways to remove bad back links besides the disavow tool? (An SEO consultant I talked to said that they had a proprietary software that can remove them - is that possible?) Thanks all,

Should I Use a Backlink Plugin
One of my clients recently asked me if he should use a Wordpress plugin to create backlinks to his website. He mentioned WP-Syndicator as an example. I just redesigned his website and I'd like to ensure that he gets a bit more traffic than he was before. Should I suggest that he purchase/use a Wordpress backlink plugin? If so does anyone know which is the best one? Not sure if it's necessary, but here is the website I'm referring to http://intouchhome.com

How to remove backlinks?
Hey guys, With all this anti over optimization movement going around with Google, I decided to do a link building profile audit. I see some pages with PR 0 and some pages that expired. My websites are not penalized at this moment, however I do want to avoid this at all costs. What can I do? Could a backlink from an expired domain penalize my site?

Should we BackLink to Guest Post ?
Hi, I have been actively doing guest blogging for last few weeks . But the page authority , moz Rank and moz Trust of my guest posts appear 0 as those posts have their own pages on blogs with snippets of posts on home page. I wanted to ask if i should backlink to my guest posts to increase the authority, mR and mT of pages. Those posts are already appearing as backlinks in webmaster tools but if i backlink to my posts to increase mR and mT, then will it also increase the juice passed by backlinks in those posts to landing pages on my site ? Thanks,

Changing backlinks anchor text
Hi, I've read a few blog post here that suggests the strength of building links using your brand as an anchor text. This supposedly gives the site authority. Currently a chunck of the back links to my homepage are on generic terms i'm trying to rank for which doesn't seem to be working very well. I was thinking of contacting the various webmasters to change the anchor text to that of the site brand name but wondering if this will signal a manipulation of links to the search engines and potentially could be flagged as paid links? Has anybody done this before and what is the danger of doing this? Thanks Duke

Are backlinks to a domain that redirects useless?
I am working on trying to get backlinks. We are currently redirecting a few Domains to our current domain name. One of the Domains that is redirecting is the main Domain, we will be advertising in the near future. Can I send backlinks to the redirected URL or does it only carry link juice if it is to the main Domain?
