I just saw an advertisement from a link-building company, titled “10,000,000 backlinks,” on my Facebook page. I love these ads. They make me laugh, but they may end up making you cry.

The rest of the ad says:

“That’s how many links we’ve developed for our clients in 4 years. How many do you want?…”

Wow… catchy title and catchy ad (also has a good looking girl as a picture , which initially grabbed my attention). But wait a minute, in 2 years we were able to build our site , Mastergoogle.com, 60,000 links. I thought that was plenty until I saw this ad. So, immediately I thought, let’s find out how many links these people have. So, I went to Yahoo! Site Explorer Tool and looked them up.

I laughed even more. They have only 50 links. Then I removed the number of links that they are giving themselves. The count ended up at 32 links.

So here, I’d like to give them another link to make that 33.

See my other post on buying cheap links.

We’ve posted a lot of information about how to get quality links for your site. I’m going to make some videos within the next few weeks on this topic as well. Stay tuned.
