		<description>"They can hunt down a block of link with the title “sponsor” or similar, but what if I used an image instead?"

They'll have an even higher "link to text" ratio and be less accessible. It's not really a long-term solution.

The company I used to work for had good advice for any customers wanting to get higher ranks, and it was that the important thing was content. If you have good content, everything else will come naturally. People will link to it, and Google will find it. Trying to keep one step ahead of search engines will just be time consuming and risky!</description>

		<description>I would really like to see an algorithm that detects if a like has been paid or not, yes it can scan the HTML tables in search for a sponsor, paid, keyword but hey I can live with that. A simple thesaurus will do the trick, I can find hundreds of other phrases that mean the same thing and the google crawlers would never even dream that they're paid links.</description>

		<description>I will not condemn this, I felt it too google did have an algorithm change for sure, it usually takes a couple of days for the whole system to re-stabilize itself and I'm very confident that Zorg Links will go back to the top of the search engine results.</description>

		<description>I've had the same experience as well, the problem when it comes to high PR directories is that they tend to have a lot of links on their  pages, and sharing that page's PR with all those links is practically useless.

The other thing is directories with a few websites listed (better share of the PR) usually don't have a PR, so its a loose loose situation.</description>

		<description>Yikes... better be careful... He probably just charged you to enter you into 500 free link farms...  What good is that going to do you?  No quality, super spammy, allow anyone to submit, no review of the website.  I don't see what value that is.</description>
