[Ekooo]

Hello, I have a shopify store rn and do some SEO for them. I want to buy backlinks soon but I just know the basic stuff but not what I should look for.
Its a 1 product store and I sell e cigarettes.

Here's what I look at when getting backlinks.
1. Check for traffic, it can't be zero.
2. Check for domain rating using semrush or ahrefs and match with traffic. High domain rating should not have zero traffic or too low.
3. Check the website layout and appearance. It should appear like something that people want to hangout in.
Some sites even triggered my antivirus to pop out when I visit. Huge red flag despite the appearance of the site is ok.
4. Check for trust flow and citation flow in majestic. Both metrics should not be too far from each other.
Most sites might have high citation flow but low or even zero trust flow like news site that post about anything that people pays them to.
These are easily accessible and most of my competitor has it.
But the best ones actually have the trust flow and same category as your money site. Though, it's super rare for them to be floating around for you to buy in the marketplace. Guest post seems to be the only way.
Anyway, more and more backlink providers are going for the rent payment method. The link stays on only if you keep paying periodically.
Meh.. it's much better to build your own PBNs now.

Backlinks for an e-commerce site is an integral thing.

You can acquire links through
1. Guest posting - which generates high-quality traffic on authority sites.

2. You can also acquire consumer reviews with links.

3. You might ask your manufacturer to include your profile on their website.


Here,
Before obtaining backlinks, determine whether the blog or website is legitimate and generating traffic.

determine whether it is relevant to your desired URL

Check to see if it has solid links to credible sites with high-quality content.

check the site is it real or not, meaning with real traffic.
what kind of traffic it got.

When you are doing the manual outreach you should look for these.

• Organic traffic
• Metrics
• Backlink profile
• Niche

These are the basics there is more to look at when buying the backlink.

Don't forget to check their spam score. It's better to avoid backlinks with spam scores higher than 25%.

Quality and relevance are the most important things to consider before purchasing links. If you have a good budget to spend, then try to get links from sites with good organic traffic.

 

[Lei Wi]

I am no expert but somethings that definitely stick out to me.

Make sure you don't buy to early make sure your website has sat for sometime.

Make sure the link you buy is niche specific

Make sure it isn't spammy website. A bad backlink can cause harm to the website and its ranking

Make sure organic traffic

Consider setting up the blog alongside the ecommerce website, if you have a diverse product range im sure you can write a lot about them and why they is needed.

Due to your budget, I would go for a few placements or a quality guest post link to start with. To find pages which accept links I would just say to find as many decent DA websites in your niche and do A LOT of outreach. Another good way is to look at your competitor's links on whichever tool you have. When you've found sites willing to give you a link, filter the ones with:

• The best page traffic
• High DA rank
• Budget
• The number of links they give (If there are too many links going out to different sites on a single page it can be seen as more spammy)

 

[Hawkeye Digital]

Its depends on how high quality the links is like you shall consider its low spam score , traffic , backlinks count and more over .

go with guest post or SEO packages in this budget

 

[Santhoz]

Grossly backlinks that are natural, highly reputable and highly relevant are good to go with.

 

[Ajju]

Traffic , Links/Profile Quality and Niche is the basic thing Should be evaluate before purchasing

 

[flexpaydude]

Before buying, check whether the site is relevant to your niche and has organic traffic. Also check the site's backlink profile and metrics.

I have one more question:
My shop is german. If I buy backlinks, do I have to watch out for german ones or does it not matter whether they are from US or whereever?

Yes, it does matter where the backlinks come from, as the origin country can affect search engine rankings. You should focus on getting backlinks from German websites, as this will be the most beneficial for your shop. However, backlinks from other countries can still provide some benefit, so long as they are relevant and of good quality.
