Don't buy links... there's a good chance that they'll turn out to be dodgy in the long-term, and will do you more harm than good.

Or perhaps, don't buy links strictly for PR. There's a difference between buying PR and paying for exposure and traffic coming via a a paid link. Or is there?

Should be content="all" OR content="index,follow"

That tag is like your tonsils or your appendix. Perform a tagectomy and you'll be no worse off. Good find BigUns.

It will also help to pull in un-reciprocated links. Get you more noticed. It and the ODP are still the biggies for real directories.

You'll definitely see a jump in requests for link exchange after getting onto either directory.
