Not worth it.
I definitely agree with deepblue, disappointing.
To make things worse, there were list of membership websites that getting links from them is exceedingly difficult. Even if you hire a VA, I doubt if she or he could drop a backlink especially if your VA is not a good writer and hiring a good writer is awfully expensive. I advise doing guest posts rather than registering to these membership sites.
Take for an example Reddit. It’s difficult to get a backlink from Reddit. It’s not for the faint-hearted. It’s for experts and professionals. You first have to be an active user by for a while before you could leave a useful backlink. And there is no assurance that your link will not be removed or deleted. Most Subreddits don’t allow you to leave a link no matter how excellent your article is. Sometimes it’s luck.
With this being said, there are dozens of sites not for newbies who are starting a new site.
Although there are easy sites to get links from, these are profile backlinks. I doubt if your site will budge in the SERP of Google. Profile links does not count anymore with Google.
Another dilemma I saw is that there are no instructions. You need to face and answer questions like, where will I place my backlink, is it going to be a profile link? Will there be a field for website or URL? Will I need to insert it in my bio?
I tried registering 4 sites. It took time figuring out where to place my backlinks and at the end, when I was finally done, I checked my public profile, and my backlinks were not showing – waste of time.
Anyway, I won’t waste more time, this stuff is not for me. Just sharing my experience. Keep in mind this is non-refundable.
