A short, practical checklist to evaluate any paid text‑link service, building on points raised by (anchor-text and target-site quality) and (questions about permanence and how links are placed).

  • Ask for 10–20 live example pages (not just domains) and verify they are indexed. Use Google or the URL Inspection tool to confirm pages are reachable and cached.
  • Confirm the placement is editorial (in‑body) rather than site‑wide footers, sidebars, or blogrolls — context matters far more than raw count.
  • Evaluate host quality and topical relevance. Look for readable content, unique pages, and organic inbound links rather than mass‑generated pages.
  • Clarify anchor‑text policy and variability, and get reporting: you should be able to see each URL, anchor text used, and the placement date.
  • Ask how links are placed — manually by editors or via automated scripts — and whether you get a written guarantee on duration, removal policy, and refunds.
  • Require that paid placements be disclosed with appropriate link attributes (for example, rel="sponsored") and that the seller documents the method used to avoid large‑scale, repetitive patterns.

Start with a very small test buy, monitor referral traffic, rankings, and anchor‑text distribution, and watch Google Search Console for manual action messages. Paid placement networks can deliver short‑term visibility but also carry risk if the network looks artificial; Google documents how link schemes are treated in its webmaster guidelines (Google on link schemes).

If the provider cannot supply clear, verifiable examples and contractual terms, pursue safer alternatives: targeted outreach, guest posts on reputable niche sites, or content and PR that attract natural editorial links. For broader link‑building principles and safer tactics, see a beginner overview like Moz’s guide (Moz Beginner’s Guide to SEO).

I haven't heard of them. Is the $49 a one time fee or a monthly fee? Are the sites you will be listed on crawled by the major search engines? Are they crawlable at all? Is the the PR of the pages you would be on decent? Can you vary your anchor text? If the answer to all the above questions are yes, then if it's worth a buck a link not to have to go through the arduous task of doing your own submitting, cool. But pay attention to your anchor text. That's the key. If you want to do it yourself you can submit to directories that are free and do not require a reciprocal link. info.vilesilencer.com would be a good place to start. He generally has a list of a couple hundred directories available and they are updated every month. It's said that all IBLs are good, but some are certainly better than others.

Hi All

Not even $1 per link and that too for one way links. Its really cheap.

Are these links are permanent links and not FFA links.
Do they trade links manually or through softwares?
