I don’t think it is stupid at all. Some of my previous sites have done well in the search engine rankings and I believe blogroll links help. If you have a content site or blog, it makes more sense to develop relationships and unique content. However, for some, like eCommerce sites, they are already a leg down from the competition. It is difficult to rank eCommerce sits and I think Blogroll links help. Of course, not many people are able to convince webmasters to link to their eCommerce site without some sort of kickback.

I prefer to buy links, even if google not pay enough attention to paid links it must give us traffic from a relevant page to your website.

If i am selling i will prefer to buy links from a page with content related to hosting, and even if i get one customer every month i will get my investment back…may get profit too…

Despite putting my blogroll at the bottom of the page, my blogroll buddies received some nice traffic from mine.

Strange huh?

Block-level page analysis will kill off the ‘traditional’ areas used for selling links, such as blogrolls, sidebars and footers. It’s not hard for Google to see that those areas of a webpage offer little value to them.

This is probably the reason Google has been so aggressive towards paid posts, where the links are embedded in the main body text block. It makes discounting them that much harder.

I think the age of paid links is slowly fading for some industries. Somehow, I find it more natural and profitable to hire a linkbaiter and get you those links naturally.
