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.

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion
Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

OSE shows links on sites but can't find links
Hi mozzers, I'm cleaning up our backlink profile and looking up anchortexts in OSE. I downloaded and selected one anchortext. However when I go to the sites OSE found, I can't find the links. I look in the source code and onpage keywords. Is it because of my lack of skills that I can't find the links 🙂 or isn't OSE working properly.

Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
I have come up with a very creative way to get some great back links using white hat methods. The problem is that the back links to the site would be to an interior page or external promotional website which then have links back to the main website. What kind of value for the main domain would this potentially achieve. What are peopLes thoughts on this idea?
