Effective link building strategy

[temi]

I heard John Scott conducted an experiment recently where a site was submitted to hundreds of free directory and another site submitted to 5 paid directories. The one submitted to paid directory got a good PR (PR4) while the one submitted to free directory got just PR1. The one submitted to paid directory also did better in SERP.

This is a good advert for paid directory there was a post in this forum yesterday, where someone said the maximum links to your site from web directories should be maximum of 30%

Can other share their experiences of using directory V using links from websites to build link and how it affected SERPS.

I never heard this before. I will keep in my mind while promoting my website.

Temi, dont just believe everything John Scott is saying
There are many excellent free directories as well as a lot of crappy paid ones

I would have thought the bottom line was what PR of the actual page that your link appears on determines the `quality` of link, paid or otherwise.
