So there are lots of schemes out there that sell links. Basically it is a bunch of webmasters who set up a script and they swap links that way. They owners of the script sell links as if.you are a member adding to the community.

Set up like this:

Add link for directory to index page> add links directory> then to swap links. Basially a typical link directory and pretty easy to spot IMO.

So I checked the links on yahoo, they all got cached and showed as backlinks but no serps.

NOw the other type of links I bought ( sorry but I do not want to elabourate) appear on a page with within a site, not on a links directory, they also got indexed but the difference was the urls I threw them at ranked in 10 days or so constantly.

What is a "quality link". It is a link that has many inbounds ( internal or external) to it and no more.

Please do not get trustrank confused with what I am talking about here. The domain I point the links at it trusted. Anyone that throws links at a new domain is an idiot.
