Inlinks.com has launched and it’s the new form of paid links. The concept is simple. You can purchase inline links from their network of bloggers that will be displayed within the content of their posts.
This actually created some controversy because obviously this service violates Google TOS. The problem is that Google will probably have no way of detecting those paid links, which is going to benefit the advertisers since the link juice will pass to their site.
The old form of paid links doesn’t have the same effect as it used to according to Aaron Wall. He makes a very valid point about paid links that are displayed in the footer or sidebar. Everyone knows that most of the time those links are paid and the advertiser is trying to get higher search engine rankings.
Anyway, should you use this service to get top search engine positions? In my opinion NO. It’s just to easy to get one-way links these days. Article marketing and press release work wonders, seriously try it. Also, you should create link baits and get people to bookmark them through social sites like Digg and Stumbleupon. If done right your site would get a lot of attention and probably hundreds of natural backlnks.
I also found an interesting post on Shoemoney’s blog regarding the InLinks service, which you might want to take a look at.
So how would I use this service? Well, I would probably set up a new niche site just for that and see if I can rank it for some profitable keywords. I wouldn’t use it on my existing sites that are already ranking well. It’s just not worth the risk.

Comments on links in content withstanding, TLA did not launch a “New Form” of paid links. They simply cloned the http://www.linkxl.com business model which has been live since April 2007 and in closed beta before then.

Hey John, thanks for pointing that out. I did not know anything about linkxl until you posted your comment. Have you used it?
