Monthly link building packages are easy to buy badly because they are often presented like product tiers instead of strategic services. The more standardized the promise sounds, the more carefully the buyer should inspect what is actually being sold.

  • which pages or topics are being prioritized
  • how quality is judged
  • how reporting works
  • what is not guaranteed
