Question Re: Is this a violation of Google's TOS?

They allow you to purchase a backlink based on a keyword phrase that you choose. The one that got my attention was about website design and the keyword phrase I would be interested in is in this article. I can purchase the back link rights to that keyword phrase as little or as much as I want on their website. It turns the text from standard text into a relevant anchor tagged back link.

Would this be a violation of the big G's terms of service or did someone find a loophole here?
I know this might sound silly but how does google KNOW that the link to your site is one that was paid for? If it were from a site called links farm or something ok but from a normal site that say sells nothing or a small business ... unless that site has lots of links to unrelated sites just how is it done,& proved to have been done.
