Attracta

We've come across an offer through HostGator from Attracta for link building.  They have a few packages but the basic offer is as follows:

50  Pro Links (text links to the site within 72 hours)
30 ¢per link,
$30 per month

Has anyone tried link building services through this company?  If so, would you recommend them?  Any insights otherwise?

It doesn't exactly sound white hat but at the same time we're curious to buy a month and see what links we get.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Hi Mike

I have no experience of Attracta, but if, as you say, what they are offering "doesn't exactly sound white hat", that would worry me.

The last couple of years have seen many sites experience loss from 'not exactly white hat' link building. You can get quick climbs in keyword ranking, but if your site gets slapped it could suffer a long time in obscurity. The net result is not worth it.

But as I say, I have no experience of Attracta so my issue is not with them because what they do may be totally fine. All I would say is if in doubt be cautious.

I hope that helps,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the feedback.  You're probably right that testing the waters is not worth the potential long-term implications.  This certainly helps.

Regards,

Mike
