This thread raises two lasting concerns: whether selling links can harm a site's search standing, and how to confirm that paid placements are being marked so they do not pass ranking value. Several members touched on those points (, , , , ). The guidance below summarizes current search‑engine expectations and gives concrete checks and remedies that complement the forum replies.

Verify how links are served before making placements. Inspect the rendered anchor tags (browser “View Source” or Inspect Element) to see any rel values or JavaScript that injects links after load. If paid links are delivered without a proper rel attribute or appear sitewide with exact‑match anchors, they can look like unnatural link schemes under search‑engine policies. Google explicitly treats paid links as something that should be marked (rel="sponsored" or an equivalent) and documents how manipulated links are handled (see Google link schemes and the blog on evolving link attributes).()()

If a network or buyer won’t add the proper attribute, options include removing the placement, moving to clearly labeled display/ad units, or insisting on rel="sponsored"/rel="nofollow". Keep records of agreements and monitor Google Search Console for manual‑action notices or traffic drops; if harmful links already point to the site, follow Google’s disavow guidance only after attempts to get them removed.()

Short, practical takeaway: confirm markup first, require sponsored/no‑follow marking for paid placements, avoid sitewide exact‑match anchors, and monitor Search Console so any issues can be caught and remedied quickly.

Are the links that are offered by linkworth.com using rel="nofollow" or are they strict links?

Hmm..yes be careful and research these factors in case (i.e. nofollow). Wouldn't want to spend money on something that wouldn't count as much..
