Let's be real, who doesn't want the secret to getting a viral LinkedIn post every single time?

Here's the truth:

You just need to know the right skills to farm engagement on your posts 😉.

Getting likes, comments, and shares will definitely take you to that viral status you're looking for.

But you might be tempted to take a shortcut and buy your way into getting that kind of engagement.

Is it really worth it? Short answer, NO!

I'll give you 7 good reasons to NOT buy LinkedIn comments in 2025.

Spoiler alert: The risks outweigh the short-term benefits big time 😱.

TL;DR:

Don't buy LinkedIn comments: it's risky and counterproductive.

Why people do it: To boost visibility, appear credible, and look like an industry authority.

7 reasons NOT to:

7 reasons NOT to:

1. Risk permanent LinkedIn account ban (violates platform policy)
2. Makes your brand look fake (generic/bot accounts commenting)
3. Zero meaningful engagement (can't convert bots into customers)
4. Skewed analytics (can't track real audience behavior)
5. Wasting money (no ROI, just fake numbers)
6. High scam risk (services that don't deliver)
7. Destroys long-term growth (kills trust and credibility)
   

Bottom line: buying comments violates LinkedIn's terms, offers fake engagement, and creates more problems than it solves. Focus on authentic outreach strategies for sustainable growth.

Why do people buy LinkedIn comments?

Before I answer why people buy LinkedIn comments, let's focus on why it matters to begin with.

People comment on your LinkedIn post when they feel the need to engage with your content.

Maybe they agree with your ideas, maybe they don't. Maybe they just want to let you know that they appreciate the good work that you're putting out there.

What the LinkedIn algorithm sees when you get comments on your post is that you're an influential member of the community.

And with more comments, likes, and shares, you get even more eyes on your posts, and thus it increases your credibility.

In other words, people buy LinkedIn comments to make their brand stand out as an authority in their industry, boost visibility, and increase prospect trust.

The issue is, those results are only possible with organic LinkedIn engagement.

What if you choose to buy your way to that kind of notoriety? Take a look for yourself:

7 reasons you SHOULDN'T buy LinkedIn comments

Now, based on everything I said, it definitely feels like something you should get into buying comments right away.

Thing is, it's all sunshine and rainbows on paper.

An easy way to boost engagement does sound nice. But you're actually putting your LinkedIn account (and brand!) at risk.

And things only get worse from there.

Take a look at the 7 reasons why you should not buy LinkedIn comments right here:

1. You could LOSE your LinkedIn account

LinkedIn is already one step ahead of the people who buy LinkedIn comments and other paid growth metrics.

It has rules against that in the LinkedIn policy. Go on, take a look for yourself!

Why does that matter? Because breaking any of the platform guidelines can get your account BANNED.

And trust me, it's better to not test your luck with the LinkedIn algorithm.

LinkedIn can restrict, suspend, or terminate your account if you breach this Contract or the law or are misusing their services. If it finds out that you're using bots or fake comments to boost engagement on your posts, you're going to lose your profile forever!

2. It makes your brand look bad

Other people can view the profiles who comment on your posts.

Yes, "No s***, Sherlock.", you must be thinking.

But the problem is that when you buy LinkedIn comments, they're left by fake or generic accounts.

LinkedIn's Professional Community Policies clearly state: Do not create a fake profile or falsify information about yourself. So when your prospects get curious about your LinkedIn network and check out these commenters, it's going to lead to a very embarrassing situation, isn't it?

And you can bet that they won't be too interested in your business solutions anymore!

3. You aren't getting meaningful engagement

Okay, let's be a little optimistic and assume you did buy LinkedIn comments and you're getting all the engagement on your LinkedIn posts.

At the end of the day, you're still losing on serious opportunities.

Why? Because they're not your actual prospects!

No matter how many comments your posts have, you can't target them with outreach strategies and convert them into paying customers.

You might as well be talking to a brick wall.

And the same thing applies with buying LinkedIn followers, likes, or comments.

4. It messes with your LinkedIn analytics

You dodged the LinkedIn algorithm, you managed to get the prospects rolling without the help of LinkedIn comments. There's still one thing you can't avoid.

Your LinkedIn analytics is going to look absolutely insane (not in a good way).

The data you'll find is going to be skewed, if not incorrect, because you used paid engagement.

Hence, you have no idea how your actual HUMAN audience sees your brand.

You won't get any new followers or replies to your cold outreach.

All in all, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

5. You could be wasting your money

I don't have to tell you just how much money goes into investing for prospecting, lead generation, and sales automation.

Quite a lot, ain't it?

With that settled, are you sure you want to spend your hard-earned money on bots that comment on your LinkedIn posts?

It's not making your network grow any faster (and as we saw before, it might actually hurt your chances even further!).

That means even fewer chances to meet potential clients that match your ICP.

Speaking of money...

6. Scam, scam, and more scams

Getting scammed online isn't exactly news.

But what you might be forgetting while you're focusing on paying your way into getting more engagement is that you could be next!

‍

As you can see from this frustrated user above, you could buy LinkedIn comments from a supposed trusted service, only to find out they never hold up their part of the bargain!

7. Severely impacts your long-term growth

You've probably heard me say this over and over again, but I'll repeat myself for good measure:

You're hurting your long-term growth when you buy LinkedIn comments.

Your LinkedIn account's always at risk. Your analytics will always be wrong. You could get scammed. Your prospects will stop trusting you.

Honestly, there are way too many reasons to stop you from buying LinkedIn comments.

My advice? Play the long-game and craft an outreach and engagement strategy for a gift that keeps on giving. 😉

Need a hand with that? Don't sweat it, that's what SalesRobot is for. 😇

But for now, let me answer a burning question you might have as we speak

Are you breaking guidelines when you buy LinkedIn comments?

Absolutely, positively, one hundred percent, YES.

You've already seen how buying LinkedIn comments directly violates LinkedIn's policies and guidelines.

And let me tell you, LinkedIn enforces these rules big time. LinkedIn can restrict, suspend, or terminate your account if you breach their terms or misuse their services.

That means more chances of getting your LinkedIn account banned or restricted if you buy LinkedIn comments. You risk having your account flagged and suspended or permanently banned for these violations.

Plus, LinkedIn's sophisticated AI detection systems can shut down fake engagement operations within days. If they detect excessive comment creation or automation tool use, they'll limit the visibility of those comments.

Personally, it's kind of underhanded to mislead your prospects with fake comments.

But don't worry, you want more engagement and more ways to generate leads consistently, and I have just the tool for you.

And it'll do all that (and more) without risking your LinkedIn account in the process.

Buying LinkedIn Comments - Final Thoughts

So, what're we thinking? Still down to buy LinkedIn comments?

Don't get me wrong, the shortcut to maximum engagement and brand awareness for some cash always sounds so good.

But as you saw with this blog, it only leads to more and more risk.

Here's what you're actually risking when you buy fake LinkedIn comments:

Account Suspension and Permanent Bans: LinkedIn's AI detection systems can spot fake engagement within days. You risk having your account flagged, suspended, or permanently banned.

Reduced Visibility: LinkedIn limits the visibility of comments they detect as fake or automated. Your purchased engagement won't help your content reach more people.

Algorithm Penalties: The LinkedIn algorithm considers engagement quality. Fake comments can actually hurt your reach and ranking in 2025's updated algorithm.

Policy Violations: LinkedIn's terms of service explicitly prohibit fake profiles and misleading content. Violating these policies can lead to restriction, suspension, or permanent termination.

From getting your account restricted to hurting your brand image and getting wrong LinkedIn analytics, it's just not worth it.

Besides, why even risk it with a method that won't help you long-term when you have the keys to the perfect cold outreach strategy with SalesRobot right in your hands!

SalesRobot automates all the boring tasks that bog you down so that you're on track to converting that next sales-ready lead.
