Do Not Buy Links
One it is waste of money and two it is a sin in eyes of Google. Whether you get personalized for buying a link or not is different issue but in my personal opinion I do not like to buy links. It involves too much money and also makes me lethargic in my link building campaign.
The idea is build links on incremental basis. Therefore it is better to put your energy to content development so that people get attracted to your site and tempted to link.

Thank you for great link building tips. Link building process should be well thought. Not all the sites are worth to get links from. Links from bad sites will most likely hurt the website’s reputation. I’ve been doing some SEO for our company’s website and I used the directory submission, article submission and blog commenting most. With the use of automatic submission tools, directory submission, article submission and blog commenting are made quick and easy. Yes, writing articles requires time and efforts, but it’s possible to hire a writer to create the articles if one is not good at writing.
