		<description>Why are paid links so important? does it help SEO, I think not. Matt cutts said in its blog, that Google can detect paid links. So it can harm your rankings? but I'm not actually sure, because I have never bought paid text links.</description>

		<description>I've achieved fairly good ranks in SEO-related key phrases mostly by having good on-page SEO and implementing a sound internal linking strategy. That's bought in work and now to get more, or rather to be able to pick and choose more, I'm buying directory links and writing articles. I've never had to buy a text link and I think there are far better ways of promoting yourself if you're able. I can accept, though, that not every can pen a coherent article so I guess yeah, for some people buying text links is the better option.

		<description>I never buy link from the directory because they’re worthless. But I do buy link from yahoo, I think it’s the only one would help your site.</description>

		<description>I say Creating Drama is the best way to Get Noticed, something like "headline" - 'Google takes on MSN in the search war'
anything to get someone talking about the subject (article) controversies is the best SEO tool, why because people are to ignorant to even realize they are creating a niche about that subject. for example SEO: someone created it by simple talking about it, look how far it's come.

Forget the link exchanges there only worth the backlink to them, List your site, don't trade links, it's all good.
Free link directories is the way to go. There's thousands of them, and um there free. It only takes time. The best thing most are free to submit to an some rank pretty high in the search engines. Regardless the best link building strategy for the small webmaster is to go the free way, build your self a blog post to blogs, make a link directory, submit to directories, write articles about your site, offer a service for free. there's many things you can do to get a better Search engine ranking.

After you try the free ways and are making some profit, that's when I'd try a "few" paid links, but nothing lower then a PR6.
If you are just beginning to SEO your site stay far away from paid links, you really don't need them until you exhaust your free SEO resources which is virtually never if it's your personal Website....

"My vote would be never Ever"</description>

		<description>The only thing you need to do is to work hard on your website. The harder you work, the better your site is. Buying isn't everything. Your cash will disappear, so will links or PPC.

Two things to do:
- write valuable content (not just link baiting, but content valuable to your visitors)
- get the Long Tail - you can get the lower hanging fruit this way</description>

		<description>Well,

I work in what some would argue is the most competitive SEO industry(Gaming) around and link buying is a way of life in that industry. With that said however, I find one 'trick' works better then spending $100K/month on links and devoting ALL your time on trying to attract top notch backlinks, NETWORKING!

In my mind, as SEO evolves, networking and building trust worthy relationships with prominent SEO's within the industry you are targeting can be the most valuable and powerful tool an SEO can have. WHat is better then working with another SEO whom you can trust??? As the Mastercard commercials always preach, PRICELESS!!!!

I have a relationship with two individuals in particular who are TOP SEO's in my industry and also maintain a large network of trust worthy, well built, informative, non-spammy, high ranking websites and the three of us work with each other on an on-going basis to exchange content with links in the best way to benefit all three of us and to date it was worked like a charm!

Happy Hunting...
