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 on some forums are many backlinks packages to buy 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, i decided to go with Hardlinks.org - forum members from this site looked reliably, old accounts on another forum.
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:

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.
 
Lmao my eyes are bleeding just by looking at the report. Personally, I would disavow those links asap. Unfortunately, you have learned the hard way that if it look good and if it’s cheap (that cheap) there’s something off. You could’ve gotten a nice link with that $300 budget instead.

I know it’s a cliché around here but quantity does not always mean better. You are better off buying one or two quality links a month over 100+ cheap links.

I 100% agree. I got good lesson from this.
 
I was just thinking of using this service after seeing good reviews on gfy.
  1. Thank you for saving me some money!
  2. Maybe there's some benefit to those links that I'm missing?
 
1. You are welcome, you can buy for this money 1 good link on high authority domain, or bunch of links from web2.0 with much higher authority/less spammy.
2. I did not think is any benefit of these links. Only way you can go with this type of links is penalty.
I am not SEO guru, read opinions of others here, also much bigger thread is on gfy with the same title.
 
Pure garbage. Who sells something like that is not even trying to fake.
