"social links, forum links, directory links BLOG links all should be toast as they make it to easy to out rank more qualified sites thus polluting the net with spammers being paid to post in forums with anchor text."

Right on bwn! For the past two years I've focused on relevant links only from reputable sites. Despite that I haven't been able to get past the second page as link spam sites pass me by. Suddenly, these past few days my site keeps showing up low page one for my primary term.

I hope this lasts...
