		<description>Well. The artcle really has a lot of sense but...
but why shouldn&#039;t guys pay for being on the top? if some guys are so unfortunate to start their online business this year - it will mean:
1. new domain name (google has special policy to pay less attention to younger domain names)
2. lack of inbound links

what does that mean? only one thing - they should forget about having their site in top ten. is that right? no way! and here is when link building business enters. But instead of writing articles and comments with links to our SEO services as a way of promotion/link building it would be easier to pay per link. And note-  those paid links are from index pages so way better than having links on the inner pages (though Google indexes those also=)...my conclusion - why not....whatever works!</description>

		<description>David, you expressed in right manner.  This is the best SEO article which I have ever read.  Many are there who do not follow ethics. But not all paid links violate Google&#039;s guidelines. For the purpose of advertising, buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web.  Again this should not be for manipulation of search results.</description>

		<description>yes, no need to go for paid links as we have many sites which offer free links but it take some time to approve and for quick approval we can move for paid links.</description>

		<description>Thanks for this, I believe this is probably the best SEO article on this topic. There is no problem with selling links when Yahoo directory can sell directory listing then why not other sites?</description>
