Types of backlinks in seo

There exists two types of backlinks. One is with no-follow relation and other with do-follow relation.

If your site is new, avoid making huge number of backlinks in short period of time. This is not according to the search engine tune. This can be understand by the example i have given in the backlinks section of this page.

Initially make at most 10 backlinks in a week of your main domain from profile creation website. This will help your site to look as a brand by the search engines.

With the passage of time, almost after a month, start increasing the number of backlinks and backlinking from blog commenting and guest posts of your various page including main domain.

Buying backlinks for seo

I personally and professionally advice you to avoid purchasing or buying backlinks from any source as they usually cheat and waiting for you to be cheated. They create low-quality backlinks in the name of high ones.

Even if you want to buy it, i advice you not to buy in large bulk. If you buy backlinks in bulk, they will create it in very short of time which will tracked by google or any search engine and instead of impoving seo, SE will penalize your site.

Also the provider will create some backlinks from spam or adult content which is considered worse or search engine optimization.
