What are good companies to buy links from?

[creativeguy]

I am sure that asking such a question on SEOMoz will bring the world down on my head, but let's be honest, sometimes buying links, especially high quality links from reputable sources does give a nice boost to go along with the rest of the onsite and offsite SEO practices.

So, those of you who are so anti-link buying that the very mention of it is anathema, please put some duct tape over your mouths or on your typing fingers and allow people who get my point to respond...

I bet there are some really good link sellers on the web - but i do not know who they are.  All of them claim to have the fantastic and best way to give me 1000's of wonderful links - but who the heck really delivers?

if there is really no one trustworthy and the only way to build is by way of what I am already doing (mid-quality SEO), feel free to tell me.  But if there are 3 or 4 amazing companies out there, please give your reasons and testimonials.

I would so appreciate it.

And apologies to the SEO purists - but my clients do not understand algorithmic changes and slow/steady movements...and i don't blame them.

but to all - love, love, love

thanks for the advice

I'll skip the whole buying links lecture and give you some practical advice.

If you are going to buy links, my advice is to not buy them from a broker - links bought via brokers and networks are easier for Google to track and penalize. Buy direct from the webmaster.

I soo am wainting for the first "PM me & we talk" posts

But on toppic: If you need to buy links, than see what domains/pages are also ranking for your targeted keywords and directly contact those webmasters and see what you can work out. Skip Teliad et al. There are bloggers here and there who will link to you for a free sample of your product or some paid article without disclosing it. But beware: you are in violation of Google's webmaster rules.
