ok, one more time..
No fear, good business decision to not be as open about your own business model of selling links..
Exploiting a weakness in someone else's business model is not evil.. Or even wrong.. They either improve their business model or fail..
Selling links for
PR may not be allowed by Google.. But they have throw all sold links in to the same bucket.. People who have no idea what
PR is, and have sold links based on liking a product, or thinking that their users may benefit from them have also been added to the bucket to be tossed out.. The solution to stopping links from being sold based on
PR is to stop showing the
PR.. Not try to get millions of people to change their websites to fit your business model..
Unless, of course, the whole goal really had little to do with
PR itself and more to do with controlling the text advertising market..
