Hi Sarah ,

1) I’m not sure the test had links pointing directly to the landing page, as opposed to other parts of the website.

2) Your argument isn’t logical. Regardless of whether links dirty the data on a test, they do still contribute to QS. The effect they have in terms of sending direct or seo traffic is irrelevant to the question of QS, which isn’t based on how clean your data is.

Link building is important but if you’re against paying for links you may want to consider paying others to post links for you. Of course you need to work with someone that you trust but I’ve found that these links tend to stick a little longer.

Hi Gab!

I don’t think that relevant links pointing to your PPC landing page affect your QS for one major and logical reason:
To track and analyse properly your PPC traffic, you need to isolate it! If you put a link you can bring some SEO/Referral traffic on your PPC campaigns and in many cases it’s not really the goal (simple PPC campaigns or GWO for testing)
Moreover, in some cases you don’t want to integrate your PPC landing pages on your website (in a SEO and PPC tracking perspectives).

I think that just staying away from purchasing links is probably the safest method. Your article pointed out lots of pros and cons and the cons are far worse I think.

Thanks,

Rob

Being relatively new to SEO, link building is one aspect of the business with which I am least familiar. It is always good to come across such a poignant list of pros and cons for buying links. There are some nice insights into link building here, and I never considered the ethics of disclosure when http://www.searchenginejournal.com/101-tactics-buy-text-links/13578/“>buying links. Great post!
