A business owner pinged me last month.
“Hey! I bought 100 backlinks for just ₹1,500. My SEO will fly now, right?”
I took a deep breath and said:
“Can you send me a few examples?”
He did.
And Here’s What I Saw:
-
🛑 Outdated Blogspot blogs from 2012
-
🛑 Irrelevant forum profile links
-
🛑 Comment sections spammed with 500+ outbound links
-
🛑 Sites that hadn’t been indexed in years
And it got worse...
-
❌ Same anchor text copy-pasted everywhere
-
❌ Zero contextual relevance to his business
-
❌ High spam scores across the board
I asked him:
“Would you click on any of these links?”
He laughed.
“Of course not!”
Exactly.
And if you wouldn’t click them...
-
📌 Google won’t either.
-
📌 Your customers never will.
-
📌 But your site might get flagged.
Here’s the Hard Truth:
Cheap backlinks aren’t SEO.
They’re shortcuts — straight to penalties.
Sure, ₹1,500 sounds like a deal.
But in SEO, cheap often equals dangerous.
If You’re Serious About SEO Growth:
✅ Prioritize quality over quantity
✅ Look for niche-relevant websites
✅ Choose sites that get real organic traffic
✅ Build links that support long-term authority, not short-term spikes
Final Thought:
Those ₹1,500 backlinks might give you a dopamine hit today…
But they could wipe your rankings tomorrow.
Backlinks = Trust
Don’t build trust in shady neighborhoods.
