Discount paid links? I sincerely doubt that. Much more goes into then if its paid. Hell, most directory listings are paid.

If someone wants to shell out 5 bucks or 1 grand, why is that bad? Hell some of my advertisers cost alot more than a grand a month. Just because the guy mentioned PR doesnt make it necessarilly bad.

Google sells links all the time its called Adwords, but God forbid anyone else selling one. Even if it they purchasing for pure PR, let them, it will not do them any good. PR = squat when it comes to rankings.

adwords isn't about selling links, its about selling advertisements. A link campaign is different from an advertising campaign. Don't get them twisted into one entity.

Say you had one of your adwords ads displayed on a site w/ a PR of 10, you don't get credited with having a backlink from a PR10 web site.

BTW, paid links could very easily turn into link farms.
