With the constant changes to Google’s algorithm that has changed. You will still find companies that will sell you thousands of links for little money but nowadays you would be foolish to buy them. These backlinks come from the worst kind of spammy websites and it will cost you far more to get these backlinks disavowed than it did to buy them. Not to say that having an SEO company create backlinks for you is a bad idea. Backlinks are still one of the major factors in getting a website ranked.
