This is the shortcut to top rankings.

You do not need a million dollar budget, but with a hundred or two hundred bucks a month you should get a ton of backlinks. But only if you find the best deals. That is your goal, that is how you spend money wisely on SEO, to get one way links effective and fast.

Make sure you do not waste money, you do not pick up your credit card on every single good look offer you see. Your objective is to be smart and make a well enough research first. Then you know which are your best options.

Buying links from directories, is not a very good investment. You get one way links from directories without linking back, or your link is at the very top of the page. Unless the directory receives a monster of traffic it is better to invest in something else. It will still be a good link to get, but if your budget is not big enough to get any deal, move on.

There are services that make it easier to get link exchanges, most of them have a paid service. Your goal is to find the service which has the highest number of members, if you are going to go for the paid membership. A bit of research is required. You should also get some feedback from other webmasters.

There are hundreds of offers probably, that are very cheap. Like get a one way link from my blog for a dollar. Ok, it is cheap, but you only get one link. Still good, but you need to find better offers, which exist. Simple make a well enough research.

Find the best deals on article submission, one way link building, forum posting, directory submission. You know, if you look hard enough you will be amazed of the many offers that so few people know about.

However you can also hire forum posters, link builders and it is suggested to find someone who has experience. Always give them a test trial. For example, tell them to do one or two forum posts and see if they do it the right way. Many are just looking to make money on these freelancing websites. Keep that in mind, some do not have a clue what forum posting or link building is, so you need not want to waste time teaching.

Inclusion in the Yahoo Directory is quite a bit expensive, at 300 usd a year. They also do not refund you if they do not approve your website. So before submitting to that directory, make sure your website is not brand new and it has lots of really useful content. Obviously see the guidelines they have for more detail. This is not an ordinary directory, but a very important one. Simple because, the directory is located on a domain that is known as an authority domain, Yahoo. So this does help improve search engine rankings...

Remember a backlink from a wbesite which has one or more of the following attributes is better. A high homepage pagerank, old site, a link within content, the page your link is on has a high pagerank, there are no other outbound links on the page your link is on, your link is in bold or italics or the website theme or category is highly related to yours.

So even if you are writing a simple blog post, impliment one of these factors. For example, put the link inside the blog post, not at the end in the so called bio or author section.

Remember buying links is like a shortcut, simple because you do no work at all to get all those important one way links or link exchanges.
