  • Alan Bleiweiss: Sustainable links require effort. If all you do is directly look to contact sites for links, you are missing 95% of a true complete brand visibility process. Buying links directly is a violation of Google policies and riskier than ever.

  • Al Jones: Start by offering good quality content because that`s what will earn you quality links. Don`t be links for you might get results you were not expecting nor would like.
  • Pshemislav Kaspshik: guest posting still works

  • Mehartab Sahir: sir focus on manual link building, google likes this natural method.
  • Ryan Jones: you shouldn`t buy links. it may work short term but long term it will bite you in the ass.
  • Blair Urquhart: I have started building my own guest post network to me it`s a lot easier than you may think to get the links than you may think but if you want a faster results buying them would speed up for you .
