As a user of google and other search engines I have no problem with them using links(or not) to guage popularity of web sites. But I do have a problem with the host of online directories that charge for an entry (on the premise that they are generating trfic via a paid link) and then do their best to knock you off the 1st page of a search engine using the key works you supplied them with!

If these directory entries are to be included in the paid link ban then I am all for it.
