While I don’t recommend any of the following techniques, I am including
them because I have seen them work. I strongly believe that these do not
make good long-term strategies because they are likely to be caught and
discredited. That said, I have seen many websites rank highly (at least in the short term) using these techniques.
Buy links from directories
If you choose to go this route, be sure to only buy directory links from pages that both pass juice and are highly ranked.
(I recommend a mozRank of 5.00 or higher.)
You want your link to be as few clicks from the homepage as possible and
You want your link to be as few clicks from the homepage as possible and
appear as legitimate as possible. Remember to measure the
authority of page that will actually contain your link, not that of the
home page of the site, and not that of the top category page that your
link will be assigned to. If the category has 12 pages of links already,
you’ll be near the back, and the page is less likely to be authoritative
and crawled frequently.
Buy links from link brokers
Link brokers sell or lease space on highly trafficked and linked-to websites.
This means they potentially can be helpful for both SEO and driving traffic.
Buy the help of social media influencers
This is my favorite of my “not recommended” link building practices.
Most of the popular content on social media websites is controlled
by a relatively small group of content submitters.
These powerful people can often bebought,
and while success of getting content on the homepage of
popular sites is not guaranteed, it is likely.
Buy natural links
Do you have connections to someone at an important website?
If so, you could potentially buy links from them. I don’t recommend it,
but if kept quiet, it will most likely help you.
