Buying text links is a common thing that many companies are doing to increase their traffic and search engine rankings. Most people buy text links based on if they feel a website is relevant or has a high Google PageRank. This could work, but if you are trying to increase your rankings for a specific term why not buy the most relevant link based on what Google thinks?
Say you want to get ranked for the keyword "web hosting". Do a Google search for the term and look for all the websites that rank in the top 100.
Many of these sites will be your competitors and you are going to be fighting them for business, but there are going to be a ton of sites that are not your competitors. I dug through the top 100 sites for this particular term and noticed that tons of them were filled with ads in the form of text links.
If you wanted to rank high for a term, what could be a more relevant link then from a web page that already ranks well for that term? You don’t need the link on every page of that site; you just need it on the page that ranks well for the terms you want your site to rank for. Although this may seem like common sense, there are a lot of people who ignore this little trick.
Give it a try, you may find it to be very effective.

This is a great tip. I’d bet a relevant link is way more valuable than a high PR one (but if you can have your cake and eat it too that’s the way to go)
Great place for beginners to start and some valuable real world advice NEO!!
Ditto, yeah great article for the new webmasters out there.
I could not agree more with that statement.
Before you purchase your way up the ladder…just make sure that you have your niche because it makes no sense to pay unless your making sales.
I use this method too and it is very useful, while it is not too time consuming.
You can also use the stubleupon toolbar to do the same task. Just browse sites using tags that are relative to your site, and you will find many sites that you can get some links from
Thank you for sharing this nice tip!
But what if that particular page does not provide links.For example the “add your site” link is not present on this page but on the home page ( as is the case for most websites).Then the only option will be to have keyword in the “anchor text”.
