While many SEOs headed back to the drawing board to think up new and innovating ways to attract links to websites some SEOs have continued to play the paid links game. I’m not one to judge, if you buy links, there are risks, if the pros out way the cons then go for it.

No offense, but the question in the title of your post was not answered in the blog article.  It was just the same recycled description of ways Google could theoretically detect a paid link when in fact having tons of one-way links with the same anchor text that occur in spikes could easily happen naturally...<div></div><div>Unless I’m mistaken, the only way we actually know Google can determine a paid link is by someone submitting a spam report.</div>

Thanks for the submit of my post -@ bhancock - I did mention that natural link growth has spikes but paid links often look suspicious over long periods of time, thanks for reading though!@ samudrala - I have plenty of "tasks" thanks

Hey Matt, just an FYI, the link next to your name in your Sphinn profile is broken.  Guess you won’t have to worry about Google thinking that’s a paid link.  ;)

I remember seeing a section in Google Webmaster Tools where you can report someone for using paid links. I found that interesting. I stay away from paid links. Its just not worth the little money people offer for them.

The newspapers need to start selling links and to heck with the GOOG. I mean papers are going under and they need money. Google don’t like it - TOUGH!A great way to get more biz is put your 800 number on a newspaper ad, a better way is a link to your website so you can prequalify potential buyers and educate them on your product before they call with 20 questions.Wake up papers, Google is the enemy.

If Google is putting newspapers out of business, then social media is going to really hurt Google, unless it finds a way to innovate and move the value line. There will always be a certain need for search. For instance, I need to lookup programming references a lot. I use Google. However, social media will take a huge bite out of their market once these social tools mature.
