The first place you can start is directories these can be a good place to aquire links others are social bookmarking sites, article submission and blogs.
i'll be honest with you i'ts something i'm not to familiar with myself. But i know can be a great way to gain traffic. The way i understand it is they are places that people can suggest good places to go to see good content so you can sign up and sumbit your site but you do have to beware you don't get labeled a spammer!!. Go to somewhere like digg.com and have a look around.
The most relevant links for your directory are links from other directories. Pick up the free version of roboform and find a directory list and submit away. Although I'm partial, I like the list in my signature.
If Google caught the link which you have bought as link seller, it will surely get panelized, ok. The link buyer will not get panelized, but no pr will pass through that link, as Google don't like link sellers as well as link buyers too.
Dude every body buys links, every internet marketing company buys them and a big majority of our clients are internet marketing companies Google won't say much about paid links as long as you don't go advertising it and etc, so other words stay behind the certain . I will tell you this and guarantee you this every site ranking in the top 10 for search engine optimization is all through paid linking.
I am yet to see how Google can identify a paid link if I pick up the phone and ask another webmaster for the link and then send him some money via Paypal.
Footer links have to be the easiest to identify. Many times footer links reside so far out of a visitors view that they serve no purpose other then to pass pr. But even worse then that is having clusters of unrelated links grouped together. That's an unnatural linking pattern and pretty easy for Google to identify.
True, but they wouldn't be the types of sites you should be buying from anyway. Buy from quality sites if you are looking to buy links!
That statement is 100% accurate. And to expand on it, many of the paid links are on sites completely unrelated to search engine optimization.
