I would have thought that they would have been better sticking with the non www. version after all of this time though.

<description><![CDATA[I have posted this discussion in the link building category all though it is more to do with link unbuilding.O.K. so when I 1st launched my site I experimented with paid links, a bit like I did with drugs when I was younger. I soon realized that this was not the way to go and removed the vast majority of the PR6, PR7 ones etc. that I was paying for and all in all my link profile for my site is pretty clean, however I would really like some feedback from some of you on a few questions that I have.Paid links that are not being paid for - Back in January some time, this Indian fella who was posting in the forums needed a bit of cash because he was going to university, and said if I could sort him $20 he would stick me on the homepage of his SEO site for a month. I sent him the $20 and I am still on his website now, I don't see him around any more. Am I right in thinking that technically speaking that is not a paid link because it is not being paid for? Or am I just kidding myself?Tag cloud links - So I have paid to be on two of them tag cloud pages, you know the ones I mean Million Dollar Homepage rip offs (stupid move I know), should I go out of my way to get rid of these or is it safe to say that G will just discount these two links?Links that look paid that are not - A directory owner recently delisted three of my listings and I had three sites that were linking back to the directory. This really rattled my cage and I went on a bit of a sick one about it. The directory owner explained that she had been having spam problems and that she had changed the script and lost the database, in order to make things right with me she offered to stick one of my sites on  as a site-wide on her directory for the rest of the year. It was quite a powerful and established directory so I said yes, now she has put of my site in the sponsored links section so it really does look like it is being paid for but it is not, should I get rid of this just to be safe?I would really appreciate any feedback that anyone might have regarding any of the questions.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>
