If google is able to identify paid and unpaid links, then, game is up. But, is this possible ? Not for every small link seller. But, definitely yes for all those who sell links in large numbers. Google may come up with a kind of cut off for this. Getting listed in a directory like yahoo.com and business.com is like any advertisement - you may or may not get results. As google gives importance to the number of backlinks, yahoo and business rank up on top.
