5 Reasons Against Mass Link Purchasing

The subject of search engine optimisation is a complicated one and it is always being added to. However, it is not just the accumulation of additional material that means keeping up with SEO is tricky for the average site owner. It is in part the fact that the very rules of the game are changed from time to time. Coupled with the fact that SEO requires technical expertise, this means that many site owners who are ‘time poor’ or shrewd decide to obtain professional SEO services. A reputable SEO agency can not only ensure that a comprehensive campaign is pursued by the most up-to-date techniques, but can also perform the maintenance that can deliver sustained success to a site in terms of higher traffic and a higher rate of conversions.

At SearchEngineOptimisation.co.uk we can deliver tailored and multifaceted campaigns which tick all the required boxes. This is because we have the knowledge, persistence and efficiency to drive sites forward in a continuous fashion. At the same time, we spread best practice in the sector for three main reasons. Firstly, pooling knowledge via free content is advisable in order to improve perceptions of the SEO sector. Secondly, the content which is shared can benefit site owners. Thirdly, site owners with an accurate elementary knowledge of SEO are better partners than those with less information.

There are several things which are commonly performed as part of a SEO campaign. Most sites require a frequent and regular supply of high grade content. Seeding long tail keywords at a suitable density is also usually a standard procedure. While link acquisition is just as important as these other two fairly indispensable things, it can be more awkward to get right. The consequence is that some SEO firms are tempted into unethical and ultimately unproductive methods.

The following tips may highlight why buying masses of links is a poor idea:

• Links which are bought en masse are unlikely to be of relevance to the site. The major search engines like Google appreciate sites with links which are from relevant sites.
• Paid links are outlawed by Google. To prevent excessive amounts of manipulation occurring, Google has determined that link buying breaches the spirit and the regulations which govern optimization.
• Google and other major search engines are getting much better at detecting paid links. High quality links attracted by natural methods are not only better at improving site performance, they are also increasingly the only safe way to proceed.
• Links which have been bought in large numbers are often associated with spam. A site is judged by the search engines by the company it keeps. This means that it is necessary for a site to frequent a high quality neighbourhood to avoid being treated with suspicion.
• Unethical behaviour can lead to a search engine penalty. The days of happily buying large numbers of links via link farms are gone. A search engine penalty can lead to a site being banished from the index for several months, often costing a considerable amount of money.
