Is Buying Backlink Considered as Black Hat?

Hi Toby,

Think more important thing in SEO is about "Google reliable Backlinks".

Google will not punish you for having such a link when you purchase a link and the advertiser of your link states that “This is an advertisement”. However, the link has zero value for SEO principles, it will not pass any 'link juice' it is only benefit is to get some guests from the site that is advertising that link. If you are buying links for SEO value, you will almost catch and your site will be penalized. The only links to get are to get natural backlinks that are not being paid. Particularly 2000 backlinks from PR1-5 blogs, you will surely 100% be penalized, you might get lucky squeezing through a few of such links, but an enormous amount WILL get you penalized.

So I am warning you.

Hope this info helps
