I also worry that if I stopped link building, what would happen to my site! It takes so long to get a PR - im sure it'll drop off quicker than it took to get it!

Build links that are relevant to your site content, this is important.

Most of the time, it is this thought that got webmasters into buying paid reviews and links. Writing excellent articles, comments or even have something special can attract quality links(Link Baiting). Don't rush for time, be constant.

Some have been successful at buying links and not getting caught, some have not. Its probably a bad idea to try to out smart big brother this way. there doesn't seem to be any short cuts on the deliberate slow building of links that link back to your site.

Over the last year, directory submissions have really taken a beating and probably provide the lowest ROI in link building these days, with regard to free directories. Here are some of the reason's they just don't work as well anymore - http://www.searchengineguide.com/david-wallace/do-directory-submissions-still-hold-any.php That said, crafty paid links still work well as to trusted directories.

As to your question regarding whether it is possible to elude Google, I would ask my friend Mike from SlightlyShadySEO ;).

Once you rank well for a keyword you won't just "disappear" from the rankings if you stop your link building efforts. Yes you will drop hard (also depends on your keyword competition) but you will drop over time; it's not an overnight type of thing. @Yossarian- great points you made!
