Of course I read and participated in the important thread:

The Ongoing PageRank Massacre Hits Big Players

There were also related threads.

Limits? I think if Google saw one link sold it would remove the PR of the page where it's sold ... if the link selling is site wide ... then bye bye PR period ...

They *can* if they are *caught* ... or if they fit the pattern that has been worked into the algorithm to address the issue.

So the conclusion is.

If you wan't to sell links on your page:
  1. Set up a professional link broker business. Did you watch the second video in my first post? Note what Rand Fishkin say's in the time interval 06.20 - 04.35. Build a marketplace for paid reviews. There has to be a solution to this problem to make it white hat. Related

  2. Hide the link selling as good as you can. An argument for unlegal and / or unethical business.
  3. Is a page with Google Adsense treated the same as a page with affiliate links? Competition has to be fair.
