Paid links or free links?

Which one is better? I think free links are better because it takes so much money to build with paid links.

I think you need to be careful about buying links now because Google are going after sites that are obviously buying and selling them.

Free links are obviously better, not only because you save your cash, but because it means someone has linked to content on your site that they liked.

After all, quality content is what the web should be about.

I perfer Free links becasue they are free, also I like deep free links in articles becasue that means somone else is recommending your site not you.

If you can get quality free links then of course they are better. People purchase links because they are much easier to get, especially for new sites. Other than cost, the main disadvantage is that when detected as paid links the tend to be devalued.

Free links are good but paid links will get you a better spot on the website.

I believe in organic back link, which is obviously free link building. its most of the time permanent. You will be happy for the traffic from those links.

What you say.

I think free link building is just as good in the long run.

Paid will just get your there quicker.

it depends upon the qulity of links...you might get loads of free pr0 links but they wont be of much use...on the other hand if you get paid pr8-6 links they will be much more helpful...

I would much rather take the free links with the stuff Google is doing lately. Plus, I think pagerank is a little overrated. I'd rather have a link on a pr0 site with a lot of traffic than a pr5 link site that no one goes too.

If you use paid link, people said its like a short cut. But if you use free link, nothing wrong with that. I always exchange link with my friends who have high PR. So, with that, i can get good PR and many friends. BY doing that, i believe you also will get some traffic everyday.
