My opinion, they will not catch all. How is it on non English sites?

That is why I have come up with my own model for publishers that I have to repeat once more:

Pay per static brand link a better solution for professional publishers

with

1. A rel="nofollow" attribute on the link inside a
2. <div id="advert"> Ad here </div> tag

I will be surprised if that article will come directly on the first page of the SERP's unless it is an exact search term.

Google:

"Pay per static brand link a better solution for professional publishers" (in quotes - that is exact term)

and you find two WPW posts where the article is cited. It was written 07.09.2008.

Yes, and triangular, trapezoid, ... , n-angular linking may be detected. Don't underestimate a SE Bot.

My bolding.

Yes, that is the issue. In an ideal world, there are what we may call a pure, generic or canonical semantic link. Now, Google have made me put Rel="nofollow" on all links I agree to exchange with friends, even if I try to make it semantic.

There is a Norwegian saying (a cite by Henrik Ibsen): "Don't go with the ideal demand." IMO it would have been better for Google to say something like:

It is our objective to make the best spam free SE

Submitted links, reciprocal links, triangular etc etc that are not semantic will carry a weight of 0. In the worst cases the site can be removed from our index / register. When is a submitted (directory) link semantic?

Conclusion:

1. Google own their ePropery / site and decide what they present there.
2. Web masters own their ePropery / site and decide what they present there.
3. My solution for static brand links are like advertising in a Magazine, in this case a digital version.
