If you really want to buy quality links register your website to Yahoo Directory (PR8) and Business.com Directory (PR7) they are expensive but they are quality links.

Otherwise register your company to:
http://www.dmoz.org (PR8) it’s FREE but it’s very difficult to appear on their directory.

Good luck!!!

Agreed and thanks for posting this. We get the same question @ LinkXL.com daily and we always say “when in doubt…” . So easy for Google to spot and others to out you to the spam team. Your better off on posting “open calls for PR links” on DigitalPoint.

thanks Loren for bringing up this SCAM in the open. I never know where and how they got my mail ID – but I am sure the same company/source has been SPAMING my INBOX for quite a while now – it irritates me to no end – but they don’t even give “unsubscribe” option.
You are right on every point – except you didn’t mention that buyers won’t get link juice simply because there are too many OBLs on those pages (out of curiosity I once visited one of their so called sites).
But there are many ignorant people who still buy links on the basis of Google TBPR.
Just today – I saw on a forum selling PR 6/7 blogrol links for $50/permanent. Out of suspicion I asked for the URLs- found two .info domains – with posts dating back to August (Archive) . Further analysis revealed they were exported -duplicate posts.
I checked backlinks of both– they had 47 each on YSE with PR3/2 profile.
When I checked PR of them with an advanced tool- I found both of them showing FAKE GTBPR.
I asked the seller why his domains were showing fake PR and little to none backlink profile (I pretended I was noob) – he answered boldly that those are FAKE PR.
Just imagine.
My point is — try to get links naturally (practically which is very difficult in these days of SE marketing). But if you have to pay for a link – do some research on the site you want link from – and then open your payment account.
Cheers
John

Funny, got the exact same email. Guess I now know for sure that buying links from this source is NOT a good idea.
