Curse of Paid Backlinks: The Link-building Road You Should Never Take

When the sun sets down and the werewolf starts howling, there are five topics that digital marketers never talk about at midnight.

  1. Their miserable lives
  2. Nightmares of 404s
  3. The curse of paid backlinks.
  4. Steve isn’t coming back
  5. And their inability to count bullet points properly.

 

Curse of Paid Backlinks: The Ancient Tale of Steve

The Curse of Paid Backlinks

But who is this Steve that ain’t coming back? What is this curse of paid backlinks that they want you to stay away from?

“There is an awful old tale about ayy fellow named Steve in the 60’s. He done what none av us has the courage ta do.  He done decided ta take the less-traveled path. “

“Did he cross the silk route on his foot?” I asked courageously.

“Nope. Even scarier, he bought backlinks. And there was no coming back from there. Thay …uhh path ov manipulating thay …uhh search engines, so that there he ken rank highuurr. That there were the last tahm we done saw him. We haven’t done heard about him aftuurr that there scary incident ”

 

When the Curse Came Alive (Steve Bought Backlinks)

When he was doing some digital marketing work for his website, he decided to go to that scary dark tunnel where no one goes.

It was full of spider webs and scary howls, and yes, paid links.

He bought it!

Have you heard about Steve? I know, you haven’t because once you buy paid links there isn’t coming back from there.

First,  your website’s ranking and credibility expire in the eyes of the search engines.

Second, search engines can be unforgiving for these types of things.

Steve’s business became a myth.

Not just, Steve, but there are also thousands of people who take this shortcut of buying backing links so that they can boost their website’s ranking on top.

And you’d never hear about the businesses that buy backlinks because they rank even lower than the websites that have no backlinks. This isn’t just some “bro-science.”  We actually analyzed several keywords we were ranking for to properly understand the impact of paid links. And our analysis revealed that many websites that actually got way more backlinks than us were ranking way lower.

 

Are Paid Links Ethical?

Buying links falls on the dark side of digital marketing.

It’s a part of black hat SEO.

It’s scary and the consequences are unforgiving.

In our Bizadmarketory, we consider it taboo. And yes, I am talking about the TV series featuring Tom Hardy. I know it doesn’t make sense, but neither does buying backlinks.

 

Buying backlinks can lead to obscurity.

Buying Backlinks for Link Building Will Make You a Myth

They don’t even make it to tell their stories.

Buying a backlink is like being at that haunting cabin in the woods from where there is no coming back. If you are a big easy money-making fan, please allow me to alert you.

You’re gonna need a way bigger boat to return than what you used to sail in, if you buy backlinks! Click To Tweet

Search engines do not like paid backlinks and they are very smart in analyzing which one is paid and which one is not.

Google can easily analyze if the link is sponsored or an important mention. With time, search engine algorithms are thinking more like humans.

This is one of the reasons why directory submission stopped working in 2020. Google knows which website is a directory submission website and it doesn’t let the link juice flow; even if all the links are do-follow.

In fact, this is something very easy. You can try it yourself. Submit your website to just 100 directories.

Even after that, the traffic won’t rise at all.

However, if it does, then you have attracted spam bots, and spammers, and sexy lonely girls. Let me alert you! You’ll be receiving a hell load of emails from Warren Buffet, Bill Gates & Mark Zuckerberg.

Please note that directory websites are notorious for selling your data to spammers for pennies. 

Let me warn you here, buying backlinks can lead to a higher spam score and it will make your website fall in a pit. Click To Tweet

 

You Can’t Outsmart Search Engines

Do you still want to get paid backlinks for link building?

Do you know that there are companies that offer backlink removal services?

Once a great Roman philosopher said, for every 10 silver coins you spend on paid backlinks, you’d have to give 100 silver coins for the removal. Bizadmarcus Aurelius Click To Tweet

Removing backlinks can be a very expensive procedure, especially if your websites are linked with spammy websites. It can deteriorate your rankings and can also remove you from the search engines altogether.
