Paid link schemes violate Google's guidelines. Even Pakistani sellers offering cheap links are a risky investment.
Spammy directories with thousands of links hurt more than help. Focus on 10 quality directories, not 100 bad ones.
Linking with exact-match keywords on every link looks unnatural to Google. Mix up: brand name, generic, partial match.
A link from an unrelated Pakistani website is worth less than a link from a relevant global site. Quality > Location.
Adding links doesn't help if Google doesn't crawl/index them. Verify all citations are indexed in Search Console.
Getting 50 links in 1 week looks suspicious. Spread link building over 3-6 months for natural growth pattern.
