If enough interest, I will open a separate thread.
This is an interesting idea. But the only way we could really conduct this experiment is by spending a lot of time and money building links for your site - which i cant afford. By my reckoning these will only have a neutral or positive effect on the sites performance!

From what i have seen with my previous employer. A few hundred links on dodgy link selling sites with high PR will continue to improve your rankings regardless of the perceived quality.
