Aaron Wall calls it as he sees it.

"Google tries to scare you away from renting links, but their paid link detection algorithms are at best laughable. Which is why Matt Cutts puts so much effort into trying to scare you about bought links."

Cheerleader of a Bashing Brigade? I have to say - maybe, and thank you! While I don’t always agree with what Aaron or others say esp. regarding paid/rented links, I do appreciate the fact that Aaron and others are willing to stand up and state their opinion without worrying about retribution. Call it Google bashing, if you will, but if there are a dozen amongst thousands who are willing to say it without bias then I, for one, appreciate their willingness to speak alound.
