To be more explicite: 2 excludes the possibility of loosing PageRank from a positive level, because of boughts links etc. That is the page's PR is reduced from n to k where k < n, because n was bought. |
Well, I believe that a bad link profile can have a negative impact on your rankings. Being excluded from the Google index requires a lot more bad stuff. You need to make it really bad in order to get excluded from the index.
A bad link profile can not result in negative PR. A link can never transfer a negative PR value. At least it wouldn't make much sense to work like that. The impact of the link profile is not related to the PR it self, I guess it's more related to how much Google trusts a page/site.
You can give me all the negative RepPoints you want. I get more than enough positive RepPoints to not be bothered by it. And that's pretty much how Google looks at it too. In order to really have a negative impact of links (reppoints) you'd have to organize a lot of people to agree with you and they have to care enough to actually help. That's difficult especially if very few agree with you. And here too you run the risk of obtaining the opposite result, simply because you´re giving so much attention to it.
Same thing with links in Google.
