Good web directories are an option for decent backlinks. When you buy a directory listing it is “advertising” and not considered a paid link by G. Some directories don’t pass meaningful link juice though if the listings are buried many levels deep, watch for that.

Also look for local newspapers that aren’t especially web savvy. I used to run an ad on the PR5 front page of the one in my town and they linked to my site with a plain old (dofollow) link. I bought it for the link knowing the paper was read mainly by people who were not my customers. It was not cheap at $50 per month but it was an excellent link. (Dropped it now that rank without it.)

The problem with avoiding paid links, is that you are left with very little alternative. Last week I sent over 100 emails to sites in my niche, requesting a link. Only 3 got back to me, and were requesting a link back from my index page for a link on a secondary page (they would get the better deal). As for “organic links”, I really can’t stand this notion. My site has really, really great content, and gets over 2,500 visitors a day. Yet in the last year, I honestly don’t think I’ve acquired a single “organic” link – one that I haven’t acquired myself. Do we need like a million visitors a day, or do we need to post the cure for cancer, before we start getting these so called “organic” links.

One of the biggest difficulty for Google regarding paid links is the fact that they cannot penalize websites for having paid links pointing to them. Otherwise it would be easy for to buy links for competitors and ruin their rankings this way.

All Google can really do is to not allow detected paid links to pass link juice and maybe penalize the websites that have paid links on them. But then again, Google will never be able to detect all paid links, especially if the link is placed in a content area and looks completely like a normal link.

ok, point 5. Link increase – Natural links are given when something becomes popular because it’s really good and this is definitely a SPIKE in link popularity. Then when the buzz is over no more links are to be had. The steady line of link growth is people who are buying links at a constant pace so you have this one backwards.

Point 7 is also wrong. Content and site relevance gets you ZERO pagerank. The only reason google tells you to write good content is so that hopefully the content will be so good that it will be linked to by others. Only external links transfer pagerank. I am yet to find a page that has high PR without having high PR external links to it.

Great information – I just hope Google and the other search engines can reallt define this with there algorithms, which would then improve the overall user search experience.

Anyway now buying links in linkbrokers are still effective instrument in seo. For sure getting natural links in long term perspective is better, but lot of clients don’t have a time to wait when the site would get natural links.
