purchasing links dilemma

[ray]

I have some spare money left and i want to buy links in third party web sites. I am looking to buy traffic interested in my product so the links purchased have to be targetted to that end, but i am afraid of one thing, i have no doubt over google's ability to spot link purchasings. That's what the no follow tag exists for. So am I forced to solely value link purchasing as a source of traffic and not SERP boosting? As i have stated this is not a pr play. That said any colateral advantage will happily be accepted.


hoping for early replies

my advise would be to go for them. what will happen, the worst case scenario will be like this- they will devalue the links you purchased but there will be no change in the traffic.

I am worried about the trust rank, that is the reason i am thinking about the no foolow tag and losing the serp boast. i have the instinctive feeling this is the way to go, i mean, it is qualified traffic that i am after, not gaming the serps.

Please don't add the tag.
what i think is- You build websites and buy links to get traffic the side effect of having links from high traffic websites to your own website is ranking well in search engines.
follow this and you will get the results -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

hello ray

There is reason why google asked us to put no follow tag. They can't track it thats why they scaring us buy saying please add the follow tag otherwise you will be penalized.
If they could track us, they would simply block the links and not way for our respond and cooperation. we would have no idea they blocked the links so we would not worry and everybody is happy.

I agree. The thing with trust rank is that you have to identify sites that already have trust points in Google or sites that are closely linked with sites that have trust points. There are ways of identifying these sites. If the sites are related then you are also hitting some other component of the algo such as local rank.
The best thing is to get all three: sites that are trusted, related, and will send traffic.
