Cheap links vs links that compound
Use this as your filter. If a vendor cannot explain these, you are buying risk.
| Criteria | Cheap link sellers | VSA link building |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance | Generic sites with weak topical match | Niche-first targeting |
| Quality control | Little to no screening | QA gates and documentation |
| Footprint risk | Networks, patterns, and repeated placements | Screening to reduce footprints |
| Anchors | Over-optimised anchors | Guardrailed anchor planning |
| Reporting | List of URLs, no context | QA notes plus next actions |
| Outcome | Short spikes, long-term decay | Compounding authority program |
If you need to repair previous link work, start with indexing and ranking drop recovery and a backlink audit.
