I don’t buy links. Not one. Never.
My investment is spending time on the sites to create up to date content.
Maintaining blogs, scouting out new events to write about.
:hattip:I think unique content is very important, but i think its wrong to hire or pay people to do link building, nobody will do it that good as yourself!

completely agree with that. I really cant understand people who employ people to build links. If you really want to succeed you need to know your market…and as a result you will know which sites to exchange links with
Let’s say you’re looking to invest in your business so that you can expense it and save on your income taxes, would you consider buying links or how would you best invest that money into an internet site? What would be your top 10 investment you would make into your internet site if you had extra money to spend?
Depends on how much you’ve got to spend!

I could spend 10k.Let’s say you have $10,000 – $20,000 to invest in your internet site. What are the top 5-10 investments you would make?
Here are some suggestions:
1) Content Management System
2) better Ad server
3) Content
4) Buy Links
5) Visitor Promotions
10k is really not going far these days.I always would recommend buying somethign you are into yourself.Do the work and content as content is the key to getting in google and staying there.Some sites that use to be in top of google three years ago when i started are nowhere to be found now-why?because the sites look same as they did three years ago.
You can always buy an existing website with proven income and improve on it if you are not sure of starting from beginning.I think saving tax is poor reason to buy something ,you buy because you know you can make the investment payoff
Thanks for the post CBG.
I know that you’re someone who is much more active than I am in the buying and selling of sites (and links?) and so I was hoping that you’d post here as I believe that you’ve done more in this area than most people.

And yes I agree – even if you are saving tax – the portion that is not tax is your money that you are spending.
Eg. Down here the corporate tax rate is 30%.
If I buy content or sites or links for $10,000 then effectively 30% of that spend is claimable – so I’ll eventually get $3,000 reduced from my taxes …. BUT I still spend $7,000.
If the purchase was useless – then that’s still $7,000 wasted.

I wont buy or sell a single link for a site that makes me decent money these days.18 months ago was much different ,sadly i own two pr8 websites and all i can do is look at the pretty green in the tool bar hahaha.Thanks to google i have 11 pr7 sites to write off on taxes as i sold them at pr4 values
Having said that our seo company in canada is still rolling with the punches and still did 7 digits in business in 2008 so far.SELLERS have the higher risk than buyers these days,we did one deal for a casino client and 77 of 90 websites we bought 3 links from got banned last update yet our client was not affected.
I don’t like advertising the fact i own a very popular SEO company in Canada but I’ll make this statement on record ,generally our clients have shifted at least half their budgets from links to content and ONSITE seo services.Two years ago nobody cared about the subject of the website they linked to but just the pagerank ,now finance sites will only buy from finance sites.Also i had one client who refused to pay me because there was a air pump link on the FINANCE site their link was placed on.
Final tip for people buying or selling -avoid a highly popular webmaster site as google snitches are all over there.I think i have enough proof to satisfy myself as my clients that google employees troll the forums for people buying and selling links.Paul
I forgot to add that for the rest of my opinions ill be making a ebook and selling for $29.99 hahaha.If i had the time i would have told cat send me the $10,000 and ill do it for you lol.@TheGooner 171213 wrote:

:Cry:In the US, the right purchase at the right time can throw you into a lower tax bracket and that does make it worthwhile. It can make a huge difference.
He is speaking about $10,000 not a million dollars like you spend dom hahaha
Yep, that’s me!
Actually that works in proportion at every cusp of tax bracket.

Personal tax thresholds I understand ….
I didn’t know that Corporate Tax is tierred in the US as well? I did not know that.
We have a flat 30% rate down here. $10 profit = 30% $1,000,000 profit = 30%.But still, spending poorly does not make sense.
You may as well completely refurbish the office if dropping into a lower tax bracket is the aim … then at least you can work in style and comfort.
