Should I buy Link or Blog Post - Which One is Better?

To build a back link with anchor text so that they get high ranking in search engines probably in the front page of search engine, many web master buy links with anchor text or buy blog review/blog post with desired anchor text. These activities goes on all the time. All the blogs/sites which appears on the front page of search engine, most of them buy blog review or links with anchor text. These is one of their link building strategy which makes their blog appear in front page. So buying link or buying blog post is an important part of the link building strategy.

SO many people after creating their blog wants to build more links to their blog, have some budget to make it happen but are confused whether to go for buying link or buying blog post?

Well according to me buying a blog post or blog review is always better. Blog reviews often allow up to 3 links per post i.e., you will get 3 links with anchor text of your choice (putting anchor text is important as it will make your site appear in front page of search engine for certain keyword). The only disadvantage in the blog review is that posts are pushed down off the site index in the archive after a period of time. Although they get buried but it's a permanent link. Other advantage although not related link building is the traffic, if you manage to get review from some high traffic blog you will certainly get lots of visitors also but people buy review for boosting their own page rank only not for getting visitors.

Whereas a site wide link will only benefit you purely for backlink alone. It will not usually give you much traffic. One advantage of site wide link is that it will always stay on the homepage giving maximum exposure all the time but it will be costly in comparison to blog review because you will have to pay them in the monthly basis. If you buy links then you should buy them at least for 3-4 months because page rank updates within 3-4 months daily. To see the changes you will also need to buy link for the 3-4 months. From my experience what I saw is that, you better buy for 1 year, you will get a lot of discount after negotiation with the webmaster from where you want to buy the link.

Note: - I too sell links and blog review in my some blogs having page rank. The biggest and popular marketplace for such business happens in the Digital forum. There you can see lots of this kinda activities going on. Earning money from selling links and selling blog review is quite easy there. I manage to make $100 per month with my page rank 2 blog by selling links and blog review. (I will discussed this later in more details in my other money making blog).

So at last I would like to vote in favor of buying blog review but sometimes I buy links from some high page rank blog when they sell their links in awesome rate which can't be ignored. So what's your opinion whether you go for buying link or buying blog review. Which one you favor most between buying link or buying blog review?
