Bold assumptions, but theorhetically, how far off are they? Would a Google Link Cop know a paid link if it was staring right at them? Some are blatantly obvious based on historical link paterns, but some, not so much. Sphunn for plausability and the fact that it raises the key point of why Google’s PR crack down will never work!
Very unlikely.
How so?
I agree with JMorris - PR, and links are part of the backbone of their algorythm. Until they change this and put more weight on other aspects paid linking will continue. This is why LinkXL continues to flourish.
How does an SEO look at an individual link in isolation and know it carries the ranking benefit they desire?
The funniest part of all of this is the act of "buying" a link. So can I get people to link to me by giving them free products, services, bartering and not get in "trouble"? Is that OK Google. Where does it stop and start. With the act of trading actual cash for links? Why is taking the same cash and buynig someone something so different for a link. It isnt...so arbitrary, LOL.
