Ask HN: Can I pay blog contributors to link my startup or post my content?

1 points by Helprace 11y ago

Hey HN :) I am working on a customer service software (http://helprace.com) and we desperately need more exposure. I am looking for a freelancer who is a blog author or contributor that can give our link in a publication for a fee. I don't think quality authors will be on a place like fiverr. Where can I go? ODesk? Anyone have any luck with this?

Of course you _can_ pay them. You competitors probably know about this page though: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93713?hl=en https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93713?hl=en If you're doing this _just_ for SEO, be careful - and if you're _not_ doing it for SEO, make sure that's obvious if anyone ever reports you to Google.

  Isn't PR in essence paying for links? Something that a freelancer or agency would do. Correct me if I'm wrong
