Yeah, I don't get why Yahoo!, Best of the Web and Campus Blvd get to charge for links but thousands of other smaller sites do not.

Ironically, large sites are the ones that really don't NEED to be paying for links.

They do say people edited links are OK – sortoff. Yahoo directory is still a paid link that definitely works and is legit in Google's eyes, but there are a whole host of other places to buy links from that also work.

Don't shoot the messenger!

At least, that is what Google SAYS. So small personal sites can get away with selling screened links, and so can big reputable directories like Yahoo did. Seems to me the problem with paying for links is discovering the quality before you sink a boodle.
