Do you buy backlinks or have you bought backlinks in the past? What was your experience with doing so? Personally, I like to keep it as whitehat as possible and keep backlink buying to a bare minimum as I would not want to get any penalties from Google.
 
I have bought them in the past, but after not seeing many results, I decided it was a waste of money and gave up on it.

Now I'm just doing it the manual and genuine way - blog commenting, profile links, etc. (non-spammy of course). It's really not that much work, it's just putting a link on sites I would already be using.
 
I'm pretty sure everyone who runs a site, has traded links or bought links at some point. While it isn't the best practice, it can definitely help if you buy the right ones.
 
It's helped me a great deal in ranking my previous sites. It always counts highly in SEO algorithms.

Though I get mine of a friend, so they're cheaper.

Not a good idea, unless you can keep an eye on how the people you are paying are doing it, plus you want them to go on in niche sites now, I would imagine that it is getting a bit more expensive than it was.

I agree. If you are paying someone and they are doing manual niche related backlinks then I would not mind buying some.
 
I think you can create better backlinks yourself unless it's a backlink with a really high value but that costs a lot. backlinking became a smaller factor for ranking on search engines also.
 
I considered buying them from fiverr via an xrumer ($650 SEO program) gig.

I'd strongly advise against it though since 90% of the time they will be low quality and such a sharp increase in backlinks will cause penalties from google.

I.E. page 300 of the search results.
 
I bought a few good ones in the past, it's what brought my 'rinky dinky lookin' proboards forum to a decent amount of success, which lead us to move to paid hosting and a better software.

I honestly reccomend them for new forums. Ad forums are good to get the word out, but you're REAL audience is not looking for you on ad forums, they're using search sites to find what they're looking for. and good backlinks using generic target phrases for your site content makes wonders happen.

Ex. I'd never use my site name, super smash bros domain ... because that's NOT what random people on the internet are typing into google. I use common search phrases like "smash bros forum" "smash bros wifi" "nintendo smash" etc.

Can I ask how you research the keywords? Do you use a program like market samurai?

I congratulate to your decision and strongly support natural backlinks. Because natural link are for long term although it is so tough. There is saying goes: No pains no gains. I think buying backlinks means waste of money and doesn't work at all.
 
I've not seen the best of results from purchasing backlinks and decided it wasn't the best use of my money.

Yeah, they tend to be spammy links and overall just hurt your website. You are paying someone must of the time to hurt your website for you.
 
I am the same, don't buy them as I prefer to keep as whitehat as possible. As they say can't get caught if you don't do anything wrong. I don't really see the benefits from other people's post on forums

Nerdie has a good point! If you're paying from someone who provides backlinks, ensure it's backlinks to related content of your website! communicate with the seller first find someone who has proof of quality.

If they don't provide it then scrap it. There are genuinely good people who do provide backlinks but you just gotta look in the right places! 🙂 Though keep it white hat as much as possible.

I've never purchased a backlink before. But I have done manual backlinking from forums and blogs on behalf of an SEO client. That was before the most recent Penguin update. Since then, we have only focused on content creation and other on page factors, rather than backlinking in that way.
 
Quality backlinks are links which are obtained from high PR sites with your links relevancy. It links to your website utilizing your keywords or keyword saying, and furthermore appears on a Web location that has the identical theme or alike content topic as your own world wide web site. According to my experience, buying backlinks from SEOClerks.com is really worthy. I have bought couple of gigs in past and so far had best results.

PS, sorry for bump 😉
