Is buying links in paid directories worth it?

Hi Jack,

Buying links to boost google rankings? Sounds bad... either if it is from a link farm or a well known web directory.

I suggest you read the official statement from Google about paid links here :

If you have the money spare - which it sounds like you don't - I would get a BOTW link, but only if the category you are interested in is indexed. I've bought Yahoo directory links too in the past but to be honest I wouldnt recommend either to someone on a limited budget. Of course, "limited" is a relative term. These links cost a few hundred bucks each - enough to get 20-40 good quality unique articles written and used for better purposes..
