*A WORD OF WARNING*
Unnatural links that violate Google’s quality guidelines will likely result in your website being penalised. Do not buy links with the sole intention of passing PageRank. If you receive an unnatural amount of traffic from text link or image ad, consider adding a rel=”nofollow” attribute to the <a> tag or disavow your links.
