Well, paid links may be advertising, but the paid links this thread refers to are paid text links that are bought to obtain the PR on the page where they are bought. They are not bought with the primary goal that surfers will see them, click on them and buy products or services. They are bought to get more PR for the site and to raise the site's position in the SERPs.

Hope that helps.
