Before we can talk about how to avoid being penalized first we need to know why google would want to eliminate paid links. Google has said “Do Not Do It” in the past, but a few months ago they have really started cracking down on people and they are allowing people to snitch on each other so Google can eliminate people easier.

Google wants to eliminate paid links for the simple reason that it effects their algorithum and they have no control over it. Google wants you to think that they are in control and have the BEST search engine known to man kind. However with some of there recent actions and crackdowns on paid links they are not doing themselves any favors to speak of.

This is what I basically gathered from ShoeMoney in his excellent video. You can watch his video right here or visit his blog at www.ShoeMoney.com to read more tips and updates about this matter.

ShoeMoney brings up many interesting points but he doesn’t answer the question of how to avoid a penalty. I want to go on record saying “I do not buy links for any of my sites”. I have not needed to as I create content that people like and link to. I have been blessed in this regard and I still believe its the best method for success instead of cheating through paid links. But for those who want to know how to buy links and not receive a penalty lets continue.

If you use services such as TLA or TNX to buy / sell links of any kind you are already in deep water. These services make it easy for a human google editor to go into and see who is and is not buying / selling links, you need to avoid such public venues for buying or selling links.

Its best to contact people individually asking for a link and that your willing to compensate them for linking to you. While it may seem like a primitive method it works very well as you can then specify which type of links you want (relative links are best). Just remember not to email your competition or they may snitch on you and get your penalized or banned!

To wrap up all you have to do is avoid public venues, this raises the all interesting question “Where do I get links then?”. I have talked about blog commenting in the past as well as other techniques for building back links for free.

However these free link building techniques can only do so much if your on a tight schedule and you need to get things going quickly. Let me emphasize one last time how I do not endorse buying links and I highly suggest you never do it.You sure you don’t want to change your mind now? Alright read on then you google cheater you!

To buy links safely just sign up to the multiple webmaster forums around the net. The best ones are probably BzImage, DevHunters, DigitalPoint, V7N and NamePros. If you cannot get links from these 5 forums then you should probably quit your job as an seo wannabe!

I Know I know, your saying wait… I already know about these sites and buy links at these forums. How are these going to help me avoid a penalty? To put it bluntly you only buy the links that are not displayed publicly within a thread. The links you want are the ones where you have to reply to a thread or pm the seller to get the url, these are the links you want as Google reps are to busy to contact hundreds of thousands of members about buying and selling links via private messages.

It really is that simple, just avoid publicicty at all costs. If you can do that you should be safe from penaltys now and in the future. Try it out and be sure to share your results with me below.
