Warning: Hardlinks.org scam or not ?
 

For site admins: if i am posting to wrong section please move this thread to right one. Thanks.

First of all i should mention that my english is not very good and i am beginner in SEO - about 2 years.
I have several sites, and like many others here, trying to rank it, get backlinks etc.
As we see here on forum are many backlinks packages for $1 - $7 for one link per year. And these cheap backlinks are from some sites that has content,
some traffic, and some authority. Of course on good authority sites links costs hundreds of $ per year for one link.

After some reviews of services what users are selling here, i decided to go with Hardlinks.org - forum members from this site looked reliably, old accounts here.
So i contacted "~Ray" and purchased $300 pack (120 backlinks) for 2 sites for 1 year.
I did not expect any miracle by buying this service for $3/link.

After several days i got first report:

https://i.ibb.co/1Lr5Y3c/domain.jpg

All domains have DA 1 of course (Moz).
All domains have average Spam Score ~60-70 (Moz).
Also did audit on Semrush - toxic.


Can be this type af backlinks called "hardlinks"? Maybe "spamlinks"?
Does it boost site's SEO, domain authority or will harm a site if i get 120 of them ?
How to get rid of these links ?

The seller refuses to do refund and remove these links.
By telling that he already spent money on paying for domains and hosting to do these links for me ( only? ).
And trying to convince me that these links will increase my domain DA by 20 points in several months.

I will repeat: i did not expect any miracle by buying this service for $3/link, but i was not paying for SPAM.
So i raised my domains Spam Score "a little" and lost $300.
Beware.

people sill fall for this BS? :1orglaugh

what did you expect?

you get what you pay for.

these shitty services will only harm your SERPs. you obviously can't get quality legit backlinks for that price, just poor quality spammy shit that will get your site shit-canned. I warned people many times on here but there are still suckers falling for it.

don't be a lazy fuck and do your link building yourself manually. that works best and long-term.

Thanks for support , now i am learned good lesson.

I am on another thread with Ray about hardlinks...need to look into this...Ray, have a look here please :2 cents:

He promised to bump up this thread after 4 months when all 120 "hardlinks" will be done and my domains authority will rocket by 20 points.

higher domain authority != higher ranking. those useless spammy links will definitely get you penalized by Google.

This kind of backlinks will do more harm than good.

:winkwink:

smh this is the kind of stuff that gives all legit link sellers here on GFY a bad name

I did not agree. Here are many legit sellers who gives all samples and you can check linking domains by itself.

I had asked Hardlinks.org seller to drop some samples and info about domains SEO numbers. He only mentioned that hardlinks domains are mixed and he has various of it.
And i hooked up... Of course this is my fault.
But i am against selling SPAM here.
And serious sellers has money back guarantee in my opinion.
If you are selling spam without it - these users should be banned permanently from forum.

If you have decent traffic, ask him to take down all links without refund.
Take the loss of $300 as lesson learned.

For now i did not have many traffic to that sites.
But i invested much more money and bought normal homepage links on sites with high parameters.

I already did links disavow on google.

If you want a quality hardlink on my unique amateur blog, let me know! ;) I'm ranking very well on google for A LOT of different keywords. And I still got 1 spot left in my sidebar. You can find feedback here: https://gfy.com/sell-and-buy-forum/1...lity-blog.html

A little bit expensive i think... :) For this price domain should be very strong, and link placed in top of page. Ok, you can drop more info to smeklinis [@] inbox.lt

You also have my offer in your inbox from few days ago :)

Disavow them or simply ask to take them down if you don't like them. DA isn't the best metrics for this kind of stuff

Hmmm thats surprising and disappointing. I thought it was a legit one - considered it before

Thanks to all who posted here so far. I guess Ray ( Hardlinks) is no show here for now...:2 cents: i guess saved myself money and a lot of "agro"...:thumbsup

Too bad. I hope you recover from your loss.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate all feedback both positive and negative. The positive feedback tells us what we're doing right and the negative feedback lets us know what we need to change.

I am partnering with a new tech who will help upgrade the new hardlinks.org

You will be able to see our back links before you decide if you want to create a subscription. You will also be able to add or remove your links instantly. No more monthly reports.

There are three ways to boost your domain Authority.

Number one. Get back links to your domain from other websites who already have high domain Authority.

Number two. Get back links to Pages within your domain instead of only to the index page.

Number three. Heavy Inlinks vs light Outlinks. Get as many one-way backlinks to your website as you can while reducing the number of outbound links on your domain.

We have always been a bulk backlinking company. We Supply bulk backlinks to webmasters who are using the second and third technique to boost their domain Authority. We've been doing it for 10 years.

If you are using the first technique to boost your domain Authority, there are plenty of people here who have websites with high domain Authority and will sell you a link.

If you are using the second or third technique to boost your domain authority, we are here and happy to help. We get you one way back links without the need for you to link to anyone and you control the key word in the back link. That's hardlinks.org

If you are using technique number two or three then domain authority of backlinks means squat. The more the merrier. You want the back links to flood your website with the search engines over, over and over again.

Again, I appreciate the feedback from everyone. Look for our new set up soon.

All you wrote now about linking everything is true.

So why i got only spam from you ?
And why you was trying 10 times by email to convince me that links from these SPAM domains mentioned in first post of this thread will boost DA.

So by your post above i see that your are not fool and know SEO.
You are only trying to fool people who did not know before and was bought your service.

hi Rick,

I am using Technique number three to boost your domain Authority by heavy inlinks versus light outlinks. Bulk backlinks. I also offered you technique number two and you declined.

There are other metrics to consider including page Authority and number of in links. For $3 each per year you shouldn't expect anything outstanding however you should see the DA/PA/inlink metrics populated

We have spoken many times via email. I promised you that my service would boost your domain Authority by approximately 20 points in 120 days. That is an average backlink rate of 1 per day. I would at least like the opportunity to do my job.

Your .com is da8 and your .club is da16

I did not have what to say... You can read all thread what about these links are thinking other members.
Maybe all of them are fool ? Dumb people who are saying that these spamlinks can not help for DA, rankings and so on - only can hurt and get a site linked to penalyzed by google.

I will not start personal discusion with you here , it has no point.

Ok so all the links we have from you the past 8 months are fucked ?

Of course not. Both of your domains are doing fine. I even encouraged you to try technique number 2 last week when you contacted me for more back links.

Ray

I sell links from our network but 1 link cost not smaller 5-6$. But this is real sites with real content and old sites! Not this xyz!

:pimp:pimp

Let's talk!

I am following thread as have banners but what did you do with domains other than backlinks more to consider eg name themselves and content did you get better than zero as expected. You need to be targeting adult rather than kick starting general backlinks but you going to need more than that.
