seo.. This particular issue has always humored me.. Business is not about "morals".. It is about risk vs reward.. Is the risk I am taking by doing what I do worth the reward I be get if I am successful??
Just like you manipulating the search results by doing what you do.. You do it in a manner that has very little, if any risk.. Other people may choose to risk more by hiring a link submission company, or even paying for links and reviews.. Or even hiring someone like you to help them.. In all of those cases they are using their money to outrank someone with less money..

If someone buys a link from someone with a site that has high PR that wouldnt normally link to them, then they are improving the PR (quality rating) of their own web site.

Except, of course, Google isn't saying put nofollow on paid links to sites you wouldn't normally link to, they are saying put nofollow on every single link that is paid for regardless of how good it is.. Big difference in the two..
