I own and run an Australian online adult products store ( ).

I have been trying to move my business away from 100% paid ads, and so Ive been working hard on building backlinks, however it seems so slow and expensive as each site I contact wants what I consider to be excessive dollars for a single backlink.

Ive come across numerous sites on fiverr offering “whitehat backlinks” in the thousands. This sounds a bit suspicious. Is it, or is it legit? An example is link daddy, for $35 they will give me 3000 backlinks.

@BBuddies I am not an SEO expert - but I can tell you from experience in the digital marketing industry and working amongst my SEO colleagues that buying backlinks is a poor practice which usually ends up causing more harm than good long term. I would not suggest undergoing any link “buying”.
