How to get Contextual Links

I have found it is best to buy links direct from sites that do not normally sell links. As long as it is a natural page, I am not concerned about how many links exist on the page (real web pages have links). Recent results and events have caused me to believe most link broker publisher sites are blocked from passing link juice. Maybe if a new website signs on they are good for a while until the google scans the new broker “inventory” into their link seller list black list. So why take the risk with my site and my money?
This belief has driven me to make a major changes in my link buying strategy.
Now, I make a list of several relevant keywords/keyword phrases and start doing google searches (with the quotes). Then I go 11 or 30 places down the results and find lonely sites that don’t know the first thing about the value of a link and offer them a ridiculously low price for them to turn an existing keyword phrase in their content to a hyperlink to my site. So many webmasters have sites that make next to nothing; they will jump at the chance to give me a permanent in contextual link for $50.
PR does not matter, as long as the page has a recent cache date it is more than fine. I know such a link will help me much more than a PR9 footer or sidebar link on a page that has been selling links through a broker for years. I also know the low or no PR contextual link will never hurt me.
A problem with this strategy is that it is a major pain because it is a manual process and extremely time consuming. Many webmasters refuse to believe that someone will actually pay them to turn a phrase on their site into a link to my site. Then there is the problem of dealing with webmasters that forgot how to make ‘words’ into a link… So getting a contextual link can take many emails back and forth. In the end it is a cheap strategy that works better then any SEO trick I have ever tried. Surprisingly, a few have even refused payment because “I won’t be getting many clicks”. 
After years of using link brokers, I got lazy going down a link list scanning website inventory and adding paid links to my shopping cart. So working for links is something I had to get used to again. But during the last six months I have been doing this the results have been simply outstanding.
