		<description>Good exercise! And although I think the formula and conclusions could be debated by some I think it does a good job explaining the thought process a prospective advertiser should follow when evaluating options.

Couple of thoughts:
I'm a directory owner, but I think you missed a point for run of site links... views. Anyone knows that views are of value. 

Annual vs permanent listings:
Unlike annual listing directories those offering permanent listings should get a couple of points because the lifetime value of a listing could far outweigh the one-time investment.</description>

		<description>nice article shared there. i never think to compare text links with links in directories as they both provide backlinks and are superior in one point or the other. but one main advantage in directories is as you said - traffic is targeted, no matter what the number is :)</description>

		<description>Nick, i would'nt say the Sitewides will harm your PR and Serps otherwise we'd all be buying links for our competitors sites!

Also i would'nt think that Google are seeing sitewides and immediately marking those links as PAID, i see plenty of bloggers using their 'blogrolls' to sitewide link to other sites, that definately are not paid links.

But for SERPS i agree related 'in content' links are best to obtain.</description>

		<description>The truth is that nobody really knows what is happening with PR. Certainly sitewides will not harm your PR. They might not help it that much.
As for SERPs... Believe me they help a lot....</description>

		<description>Some notes :

site wide links will harm your PR and SERPs as it is obvious that they are sponsored. In case that you use them, try to get as less as possible.

In my opinion as Google is chasing sponsored links I would use this budget to buy blog posts and have my links in relevant content. This way you get better SERPs, traffic and pagerank :)</description>
