Buying Permenent Links versus Text-Link-Ads

V7N's Contextual Links is having a Christmas Special.

32 permanent links, placed in related blog posts, for $1,000.

If you can do the math, you'll see that it is less than $32 per link. To be precise, it is $31.25 per link.

Now a friend suggested that $32 per link is a bit expensive. He said "you can get links on websites for $15 a month from text-link-ads.com".

Does it say stupid on my forehead? Because I learned to multiply in the third grade.

$15 per month equals $180 per year.

$15 per month equals $360 for two years.

$15 per month equals $900 for 5 years.

Why the hell would anybody pay $900 for a link for 5 years when they can get a permanent one for $40?

That's simply grotesque.

And contextual links are links embedded in a related blog post, with the keywords included in the title of page. If you know anything about SEO, you can guess how effective contextual links are.

Buy links form Text Link Ads.com, on the other hand, and you'll likely be put in the footer along some Viagra link.

No thanks, I'll stick with smart link buying.
