To this day I haven’t seen any issue with purchasing links on web directories. I have been following several websites with ten plus paid directory submissions, the results have this site with a PR of 1 or at least in the top 10 with the other pages. Further, this one site has links in several areas pointing to affiliate programs, though not many. A terrible design and loose information exist on this site-the sole purpose seems to be top ranking only and no product to sell. They got 8k of hits last month, so they’re doing something well. After further investigation, I discovered a technique of 3-way linking.

3-Way 
Let’s say I have 2 websites: A and B. You have website X and want a one-way link from me. I will link A to X and require you to link X to B. I must not link A to B, otherwise the whole setup will be labeled as a webring and can be detected by Google. Speaking of Google, how about paid links?

Paid Links
Supposedly, Google doesn’t like paid directory listings. However, this technique of purchasing directory listings works well. MY CONCERN is the attempt to snitch to Google on innocent web sites. The fact that anyone can report, specifically on a competitor, is concerning. Do me a favor, read the comments to get an idea about the situation. Yes, controls should be in place, but the SEO industry is concerned. As for your general directory listing, it seems to be fine. To get a web site up fast with decent ranking will take some time if you want to skip the Adword route. What’s more, a paid directory offers a listing with a price-this will build backlink relevance to your PR, it works people. Just keep you white hat on and all will be fine.
