How do backlinks affect your website in the search engines.
I have seen a lot of websites that are selling backlinks to google page rank of 4,5,or 6 and they charge you from $5.00 to $100.00 unlimited. It is true that you score higher in the search engines with backlinks but having backlinks to link farms that are just trying to make money off of you can actually hurt you as spamming the search engines. I have seen websites that all they have are tags everywhere. They are a link farm and will be found out by google. Then you paid for nothing. It is better to get backlinks from good websites with your keyword that is your business in it and then you will rank higher in the search engines.

Gary,
One tool I like to use is the Google tool bar. If you use the PageRank dropdown menu, you can click on the backword links to any website.
If there is a website in an industry that you want to compete with check its backlinks. Then all you need to do is follow there lead and get the same backlinks.
This is a good education for what is actually getting linked out there.

Hi Gary,
A great resource would be Google Webmaster Tools, also I am sure Yahoo & msn have the same.
Yes linking is good, do you have to pay, no!
Does the search engine like the paid systems, no.
Thankyou
Lisa

You wouldn't pay to have your site listed in a link farm. If someone is charging you for this think SCAM and run...
Look for sites with good PR that are related to your Website, you could get a...
= Bilateral link swap
= 3 Way link swap
= One way link
The best and most productive way to achieve ONE way links is through Article Submission... These types of links are more natural and occur gradually over a period of time.
Hope that helps...
