It's up to you. We don't buy links for our clients, as sooner or later they may get nobbled. There are viable alternatives to buying links, so we use them. Hi Shane

We don’t buy links for our clients, as sooner or later they may get nobbled. There are viable alternatives to buying links, so we use them.

A listing in these sometimes highly pageranked directories is normally guaranteed listing for a price. What is the consequence of buying those directory links. More often than not it is a high page rank and increased link popularity which subsequently leads to high search engine rankings for some of the most competitive keywords. Is this not blatant manipulation of Google search results? and yet we see no action taken against the buyer or the seller of these links. So I am left we the obvious option in order to compete, do as they do and not as Google say.... What’s the difference between buying links and being listed in pay only directories?
