Talking to yourself is a sign of madness, you know!
Buying links from random websites that have no relevance to your own site(s) = waste of time and money.
If you're wanting to spend $20 a month on 1,000 links, I'd suggest you spend that money elsewhere. I'm sure you could find somebody to submit your site to article directories etc for less than that.
Of those 1,000 links, I'd be surprised if more than 10% were from relevant and/or beneficial websites.
