Great tips Andy!
For link buying I would say, we must have to go into great detail on the placement and integration of our link, so even a hostile human reviewer can't prove that it's paid.

Nice post Andy.

I am currently link building for an online casino and i tell you what, it's busting my nuts as earning link on merit is damn near impossible.

This list is almost an exact replica of the list of items we came out with during a recent strategy session in London.

If you only learn ten things about where to look for paid links, this would be it. Put yourself in Matt's shoes. If it looks like a paid placement to you, it's definitely going to look like a paid link to Big G.

Contextual links truly are the way to go whether you are buying, trading or creating a resources page that is genuine. The old style of Title: Description is a clue to the SEs that the page is probably created for reasons other than providing relevant useful content.

0. Only buy links to on pages or sites that are actually indexed in Google! :)

Poor Matt. Everybody picks on him.
Knols, Schmols! If that doesn't work they'll move on to something else.

I agree, buying links is just a fad of yesteryear. With so many opportunities for link bait and social media sites that use do-follow tags, it's all about the content, the relevance and appealing to the right audience. Traffic after all is the goal, how you find it is irreverent.

I saw the writing on the wall as far as paid links go awhile back and it's one of the reasons I left a job at a link network.

That being said, paid links are going nowhere. Some people will stop (or never did) buy links. Some will continue to buy links the same ole way and get in trouble. Then there will be the people who are smart enough to buy link as described above.

And no matter how much link bait is done, there is no substitute for in content, perfect anchor text combinations.
