Buying Links

[Jason]

Search engines don't like it and will harshly penalize, but it's not illegal according to the law.

Anyway, guest posting is often a paid transaction and so are directory backlinks. Are there exceptions?

Are there any laws regarding what you can do for SEO and what you cannot do? Well, a lot of things you do online are not governed by country law or international law, however, there are rules created by online services that you need to follow. yes, you are not allowed to purchase links, but if you can get links from authority site, spending some money is not a bad idea.
