I would'nt bank on the pages sending you tons of traffic, its use is for the links but its an obvious candidate to get spotted by Google as a paid link, that said i've got a page for a clients site as part of a reputation management exercise.

Unless the page ranks highly for search terms its not going to get much traffic, if you've got your own sites and a decent stats package i'm sure you know (or can find out) how much traffic your sites gets for a popular search term when it sits on the second or third page.

Those of you worrying about buying 'paid' links, don't panic the worse that would happen is an individual links value is discounted. There will not be sweeping penalties introduced for BUYING links.

So i could go out and buy 1000000000 links and google would not penalise me at all? they would just not count them? i doubt it

They are penalising you, the links you've paid for are effectively worthless so you've wasted your money.

Think of it from this angle....

I want to blow my competitor out of the water, i don't like them or their rankings.

It would be so easy for me to go and buy say 50 paid links to their site, leave a visable trace and then report them to Google, getting their site penalised in the process.

Its very difficult for a 3rd party to do anything to damage another sites rankings / reputation in the search engins.

Thats a very good point you have there, didnt think of it like that. Its like how google does not penalise you for dodgy sites linking to you because as a webmaster you cannot limit who links to your website, but you can limit what you link too


Got me thinking now whether to buy 1!!!

I use google analytics and have seen 1 visit from pagerank10 and that's about it?

Stender, can you let me know which page is yours and ill look into it, some of our page owners are getting between 100-200 visitors a day, most of our page owners are very happy with the results and profits made from a £10 yearly outlay.

If people were not seeing good results they would not purchase more pages which they are doing.

There will be some disappointed page owners but in most cases the reasons are obvious or can be corrected, ie poor or duplicate content, not putting obvious links back to your site, poor design, although competative keywords are ranking well there is a much bigger chance of such keywords not ranking as well as others, it could be a case of your chosen keywords are not searched for much.

To help you out with not wasting money we now offer unlimited free pages (14 day trial), then you only need to purchase the pages you are happy with so there is no risk at all.

Eventually answered your PM (sorry about delay) but you didn't let me know your full page ad url for me to take a look at, if you haven't got one then this is why you arn't getting any traffic from it
