Short answer: most pixel/ad-listing links are low-value for SEO and can even be risky. That lines up with ’s point that a page full of tiny paid links usually passes almost no real authority. Google treats manipulative linking schemes seriously, so mass-buying or swapping tiny image links is not a reliable ranking strategy ().

How to tell if a pixel link is worth anything:

  • Check the anchor tag for rel attributes (nofollow/sponsored/ugc). If it is marked, treat it as advertising, not editorial.
  • See if the page is indexed and getting organic traffic (use site:domain.com/page or a traffic tool). A non‑indexed ad block is worthless.
  • Count outgoing links and inspect context. Pages with hundreds of tiny paid links dilute any value and look like link farms.
  • Assess topical relevance and content quality. Even a followed link from a thin, unrelated ad page is weak.

Better uses of time and money:

  • Pay for real advertising (measure clicks/conversions) but do not expect SEO lift unless links are editorial and relevant.
  • Invest in linkable assets (original research, tools, guides) and targeted outreach or guest contributions on reputable niche sites.
  • Reclaim unlinked brand mentions, fix broken links, and build relationships that earn natural backlinks.

If a site has accumulated lots of low-quality inbound links, monitor Google Search Console for manual actions and consider a targeted cleanup; the disavow tool is for situations where removal or a penalty is evident (). In short: quantity from pixel farms is not a substitute for a few high-quality, topical links.

Instead look for getting backlinks.

The page they are referring to is offering a backlink.

And "get backlinks" is an over-simplified answer that offers no real help. Just getting backlinks won't do much for any website. You need to get high quality on-topic backlinks. Getting these isn't as simple as "just going out and getting them". You have to attract these links somehow and high quality unique content will do just that.

It won't. That site is just an ad site. It has no relevance to anything and links on it will be worthless. And the fact that is has so many links on it means it will pass extremely little PR. And PR all by itself is worthless. It needs to be associated with a relevant page, and preferable a high quality one at that, to be meaningful.

Submitting to a site like that is done on the off change it gets famous and gets lots of traffic. That site will not get famous.
