Some site have been thriving for years on the juice of paid links. Other sites have been thriving on selling these links. Every now and then, however, some sites seem to get spanked for what appears to be selling links (to pass page rank). I'm done trying to figure it out. If I've learnt anything from the search engines, I've learnt that some things just can't be figured out. To be honest, page rank penalties appear so random.

Because I sold a couple of links to grow revenue? Well that is advertising Google like you do remember, why else would I do it? I rank good in Yahoo and Msn. All the large corporate sites buy links, hell I even saw some on African blogs for car insurance when their business operates in another continent!. No matter what Google does, anyone with half a brain will always want to be on page 1, no one wants to be on page 88! To give some comparison, another site I have spent no time getting links for gets about 5 page views a day, the one I spend time getting links for gets about 2000 per day, you tell me which is the better strategy? I can show you now about 100 sites that buy links, yet still rank on the first page and have their page rank intact. Google presumes everyone has to know how they operate, yet they constantly move the goal posts. Now I am supposed to figure out which bit is wrong - which bit they don't like.

They were cracking down on people who were manipulating search results by buying links to boost their rankings artificially. This pissed a lot of people off, as you can see over with Andy Beard.

No links, you lose, sell links you lose. Get too popular, and it's even more likely you'll end up losing. Sometimes it's too frustrating to even bother to figure out. -Rob It seems like bloggers just can’t win in the Google pagerank game. No links, you lose, sell links you lose.
