I finally bought a link on a PR5 blog (with lots of PR4 subpages), a Spanish blog according to my site's thematic (this was on monday).
However, my website is as indexed as ever, there isn't any increasing on site indexing. Although my web has thousands of pages, Google has only indexed about 100.
I have made a sitemap using XML and HTML, a urllist.txt file, all them updated everyday. I add new contents to the site everyday, and all is 100% "bot friendly", with proper URLs and links all over the website to get followed by bots.
I've made link exchanges, I added the site to directories... And Google only indexes about 100 pages for months.
The site is online since April. I don't know if Google doesn't like my web, or it's the Sandbox... Simply, I don't know what to do.
Can anyone help me?
The site has a <specifics removed> thematic, and it's in Spanish.
Sorry for my English ;-)

So much could be said about that paid link -- it's discussed been discussed in many posts. If Google knows they are selling links, they may not even let any PR pass from those pages. The general rule is to buy links for traffic, not rankings. And if you buy wisely, it also may help ranking.
Just remember, one link is far from a healthy inbound link situation.
But you are talking about complete indexing -- and that's different from ranking. I suggest you review several threads here. The same issues that have caused some sites to get dropped can also keep a newer domain from ever being fully indexed.
