Buying links
-
I have 2 websites to pay monthly to gain links from,
number 1 is on the homepage of a directory, it has a PA of 90 and DA of 88.
the link will be on the right hand side along with 55 other featured sites.
these links are there throughout the whole site.number 2 is from a website with 20 max sponsored links on a page and will be one of the sub pages on the site with a PA of 74.
How valuable if any would these links be?
My current pa on the site i wish to send the links to is 26
Can i expect my PA to go up by much?
Also i currently have 317 links from 7 root domains on my site will this effect the rank of the paid links?
Thanks in advance

than you all for you response, this is my first time using the seo moz forum and the help i have received so far has been great!
The 1st link i actually found because one of my competitors shot up the rankings from 2nd page to top 3, i couldn't work out why but i did notice they had this new link with a pa 90.
If i do decide to try the link for a couple of months, i will post the results.
Thanks a lot for everyones input!

And focus on conversions and income too.

I agree.
The focus of your post is on numbers.
Put the focus of your efforts (and expenditures) on visitors.

Listen to da man. He smart.

Can i expect my PA to go up by much?
There are a few things you should understand about your PA. The PA is based upon the Linkscape crawl of the web which is updated every 4-5 weeks. If you were to acquire a link today, it may take 60 days or more before you see the PA adjusted for the link. There is not any immediately visible reward.
With the above noted, Google will update their internal PR almost immediately so the value of the link (if any) will be provided immediately although you wont see it in a metric. You may see the value in SERPs.
Peter and Dunamis accurately shared that Google has a very smart and experienced team designed to specifically devalue all paid links. How did you find the paid link? Whatever steps you used, Google may use as well. It is entirely possible Google has internally determined the linking site is offering paid links and the site is flagged so none of their links pass any value. If this is the case, even though your get a link your PA will still increase because SEOmoz has no way of knowing the link has been devalued. Despite the increase, your site will not receive any benefit.
If you wish to pay for links, use the list Peter offered.

If this were my website I wouldn't buy either. Here are my thoughts:
1. In either case the link juice is going to be diluted because of the number of links.
2. Although Google isn't great right now at detecting paid links, they have a team of really smart people that are working on this issue. There's a good chance that in the future, those pages will be either totally devalued, or worse could give you some type of a penalty. (That's controversial however. If a link from a "bad neighbourhood" could devalue a site then you could build links to your competitors and hurt them.)
I'm sure my comment will get a number of thumbs down as many seos feel that paid links can't hurt, but I would rather put all of my energy into building links that look as natural as possible.

wow thanks for this list, looks like a great place to start

If your looking to buy links...it might be worth getting listed in some of the directories.. Yahoo and BOTW are good. They are paid links, but they are generally considered whitehat. Also more places to get links from here: http://www.seomoz.org/directories

Ok thanks, i might give them a try and see how they effect my serps, any advice on where i should start with the white hat links. I'm a complete noob and have been reading through forums all day.
Thanks

They might help a bit...but I wouldn't rule out googles algorithms picking them up as paid and removing their value. I think u have more chance if the you a lot of good whitehat links and the paid ones are only a small part of the profile. Your PA will probably go up a bit, but i wouldnt have though it would go up hugely as its only two links..tho it would depend on how competitive the niche is... 2 high quality links can make you own a niche that isnt competitive or wouldnt even scratch the surface if its a competitive niche.

Inbound link is follow link but we put no follow link back - is it beneficial for rankings?
Dear Moz Community, We are operating in a niche market, where there are not so many content marketing options. What we are left with are link exchanging with relevant sites that are on the same topic but to not directly compete with us. Now we know that if we link back to site A and site a links back to us - for google this is not a very good link. But, some of the sites we are exchanging links with, do not know the term follow vs no follow links. My question - if your link is to site A is a no follow link but they give us a follow link - does it mean thats a better option than a follow vs follow. Thanks for help!

About Link Earning?
I own an e-commerce store and I am get started with my SEO strategy. I know content is extremely important when it comes to link building, however for an e-commerce store what can I do as far as content. So far my only idea is blog posts. It's a furniture store so videos are really hard to do. The blog posts relate to home decor and interior design. My question is if people are going to be linking to my blog, will this help my website rank for product terms? The blog is part of the website, websitename.com/blog.

NEW LINKS
Hi If you plan to add new links to a site which currently has very few inbound links what is the maximum amount you could add in any one day before it is deemed by Google to be suspicious and unatural. I am referring ot manually added links, not robotic. Thank you 🙂
