The Story
I have been doing search engine optimization research recently and there is one thing that came to my mind. A optimization tactic I used in the marketing of GamingType.
The tactic
I thought it was good for site’s image to be posted on many blogs. Articles about gamingtype were posted on over 1,000 blogs. My idea was to make the site get more traffic from the posts however I discovered something much better. Somewhere in the article there was a contextual link linking to PC category of gamingtype using the title “pc game directory”. Guess what, after 2 weeks:
http://www.google.md/search?hl=ru&q=pc+game+directory&btnG=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA&lr=
So I understood what works on google (I am pretty sure you did too). In-contextual links. We all know google is against paid links, but how can an algorithm find a paid link if a human can’t do it? Would you recognize a link inside a random article to be paid?
The profit
I don’t have to explain it all, do I? You know what happens when your site ranks high on SERP’s 
P.S : Please don’t repost this article, if you want to share it give it just a link to the post. !
Hi, how do you post the articles on Blogs? which blogs can you freely post articles on? if you have this list could you email me it?
Thanks

I cannot find your site in that google search result. Is your site there?
Post it on your own blog or pay other people to blog it about your site.
I will launch soon a project regarding this seo tactic, just wait for a few days
Brilliant, so how much say would you invest for 1000 blogs? do you have you blog list?
Well I didn’t invest more then $150 for posting on 1000 blogs. Those weren’t high-quality blogs, most were self updating. Not some real blogs.
However I recommend using the tactic on real blogs (i.e written by real people and not by auto robots) for example proposing the owner of a blog you like to post your article (which obviously contains your link(s) somewhere within the article).
Many of my posts are PR4 in this blog, so if I modify a word with my link it will obviously bring me a result.
And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
So do bloggers actually do articles on your site? surely they’ll click onto what you’re up to?
Not on this site, and not on my sites.
I paid others to do on other sites.
But yeah, most click and se’s see it too.
So you pay out to random bloggers online, right?
It sounds extremely time consuming in many regards. How do you manage to pay a thousand different people for pennies on the dollar?
Well as I mentioned in my post, I found 2-3 people that own a blog network, and they charged me very little for making the posts on their blog(s).
But it would be a better idea to post on 10 quality blogs (like JohnCow) then to pay for 1,000 un-quality-ones. But budget didn’t allow me to place my article on 10 quality blogs so I chose the other option.

It’s great

Cool!
[...] I have found the way - Links in articles [...]
I haven’t gotten much done lately. That’s how it is. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing to speak of, but so it goes. I haven’t been up to much recently, but oh well. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me.
I agree with Radu in that quality will beat out quantity any day. The key is having links in context and where possible, embedded within content rather than on the sidebar or footer.
For those willing to invest a little time, they can also contact webmasters with *related* quality blogs or sites and ask if they would be interested in posting a unique article. Each article would have your links within. Rather than mass distribution through article directories, this gives more weight to each article link since there is no duplicate content.
SEO consultant is 100% right, one that link can do much better SERP than 10 sidebar links
At this moment, everybody does article marketing. Back then in November 2007, not many were doing that for that SEO
