Congrats, glad it worked out for you.

Reciprocal links - found it to be to much work.

Usually I only do recips when during the course of a link-beg campaign someone with quality content and backlinks (regardless of PR) requests a link back. I don't do recip campaigns, I stopped in 2003.

Blog Rolls - Didn't take a chance and found prices way to high. But I may consider this in the future.

In light of recent developments, something to consider is that your linking patterns may be lumped together with the others who are on the same pages with your link. If they receive an unnatural links warning and do a reconsideration request naming names of where they paid for links, then the page you're on might get burned, along with your link.
