But a fellow of mine has got into a predicament of accepting a task to get 20 PR6 links in the software industry in one month for $475 (spent on links, not for the job).If he does it, he gets a promotion, a nice job and freedom to do whatever he wants, such as creating quality content, contributing to the Web and so on. Until then, he has 29 days to find 20 PR6 links in the software industry.What would you do to get such links?Please share your ideas to assist a fellow SEO.Thank you.<br/><br/>7 Vote(s) ]]></description>
