You can easily spend loads on paid links, especially as most tend to be monthly terms. Its good to do an annual total and then really consider if it is worthwhile.

There are though some good directories where for a very low cost you can get a listing.

I know of one directory for instance, where you can get a lifetime listing on a PR5 category page for next to nothing. Plus they offer a sitemap option so you can get even your deeper links spidered quickly (or any pages you wish). This is a permanent page for just a few sheckels one-off.
