I have never been sure about buying links I’m afraid, its risky business, however, it would make SEO a heck of a lot easier.

I’ve never bought links. I’ve always felt it was border lining blackhat techniques.

I agree with the article: Not only is this against Google’s guidelines, it’s too good to be true. Furthermore, while it certainly takes alot of time to get real links, even if paid links work, this is only as long as you are paying, and some services are charging extraordinary rates.
On a personal note, if you can’t give the time needed to:
- get reciprocal links
- write articles
- optimize your internal pages (which is much more important)
then you should also consider offering free services and improving your site so visitors will have a reason to link back.
The simple fact is to have a successful website, you need to give the time. If this is for your company, then hire someone.
Finally, we have had great success with Google AdWords, which is much more trustworthy (if the return on investment is there) until we are able to build more and more links.

I don’t think it is worth your money to buy links. It does take time to develop your website and get some good links pointing to it, but why pay all that money for links if google will get mad at your site for it? Its just not worth getting your site banned.
