GuestDecember 10, 2025 at 11:14 amIf a link is easily accessible, it probably isn’t very effective. I understand it’s $800 and it’s Forbes, but typically when a link is THIS accessible or public – it’s not going to be the silver bullet you want it to be. Or worse – you get scammed and/or penalized.
Also, looks like they replied to you? Or did they contact you first? How did you hear about them?

$400 for a “trust me bro” from someone you don’t even know is a massive red flag to me.
Unless that is getting you on a high traffic page on Forbes for a banger of an anchor text AND you can figure out if it’s BS or not before paying them – I wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole.
