Tempted by Fiverr Link Building Gigs... Worth the Risk?

[sallysqueak]

Hi all

I'm browsing through the fiverr gigs which promise to build you 10 high pr links from trusted sites, so they say.

They all have thousands of top mark feedback ratings, but I can't help but think this is too good to be true. Google says it doesn't like paid links, so how can these be good for seo? Should I steer clear?

Guess I'm just a bit frustrated recently as I can't seem to find anywhere to add a dofollow link from a travel related source. Considering I should be growing a few every day how am I ever going to manage this when I can't even find one place to begin with?

I don't want to do anything at all dodgy, want to stay on the good side of Google!

Thanks

Sally

Yes, my advice is to stay well clear of any such schemes. Google has already penalized Fiverr earlier this year or late last year. Be assured they are keeping an eye on that site.

Thanks, will avoid. Just wish I knew how to get things going, so much advice seems black hat :/
