100 One-Way .EDU Backlinks $30?
-
I've seen so many of these type of advertising on forums. Do you think it's safe (i.t.o search engine rankiings) to buy or not?

The general rule I work to in all aspects of life is, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
These types of links are very low quality and your probably sharing the links with spammy pharma, porn, watches and amsterdam esorts links. Don't do it!For $30 I can get an amazing article written in any given niche, and for an extra hour of my time, could probably promote it and attract the same amount of links! And clean ones at that!

Or they're links from spammy blog comments on abandoned or hacked edu blogs/guestbooks. I've seen that a lot. Do a [site:yourfavoriteuniversity.edu viagra] query and you'll see this spam on nearly any edu site you choose.

For starters it is never "safe" to purchase links, be it high PR links, or spammy links. Purchasing links can lead to serious penalties and worse the devastating Google ban.
Secondly, and someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't believe .edu links pass any more value than a .com, .org, .net, ect. So this appears to be a simple advertising ploy. They are most definitely not going to be posting your links to the Harvard University website and 100 others for $30.
This type of question is asked all the time, what is the best way to build links quickly and effectively. My answer is to not focus on what seems like an "easy" solution, instead spend some time researching what your competitors are up to, the hubs in your industry, and relevant sources such as forms and blogs; typically you can find some great linking opportunities that won't cost your a penny, and will provide much more value to your website.

P.S. Open Site Explorer is great for that.

Sounds like a scam. Either in that they're lying and aiming for something else from you (whatever else they're trying to sell) or they'll be linking from spammy sites that won't give you quality links. I'd stay far away.

How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.
So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

Backlinks Redirected Temporarily (New to Old)
I have a website of which we are being forced to change the domain name and soon after give the control of the domain name to the corporate office. The corporate office will eventually put a new website up on it. We would like to build more backlinks without the threat of losing all of these backlinks to the corporate site. We were considering to start building backlinks to the new domain with temporary redirects to the old domain but have recently been advised against doing this (threat of Google looking down on this technique). Should we continue to build back links to the old domain, or should we 302 redirect the links to the old domain? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

How to Build Whitehat Backlinks on 3 Hours a Day?
Hi Everyone, I've been lurking for some time and really appreciate the combined expertise of everyone here. Forgive me for beng a noob but, despite having searched the forum for relevant questions, I still can't seem to find the exact advice I'm looking for. Here's the deal: We are a small, aftermarket automotive tint and accessories store and are completely online. We have been in business since 2003 but primarily on eBay and Amazon. Our site was always tertiary but we have really begun to ramp it up in the last 12 to 15 months. I have only really been tracking our PR numbers and backlinks using Alexa, Site Explorer and Majestic SEO for the past 3 months but the numbers don't seem promising. I read as much as I can and have posted a number of articles, press releases, commented on blogs, started a ring of blogs and participate in related forums but am having trouble adding backlinks. How to do so when you don't have a big budget for it? Any tips or blind spots that I'm just not aware of? Thanks in advance! Best, Mike
