Take article marketing for example. Most article marketing content is paid for (to be written) and then self published. How is that any different? Google gets to do what it wants i suppose.

And it certainly seems to me in my experience that a lot of big players around here are buying links with impunity. Not sure I'd agree ethically about the comment which equated paying for PPC and paying for links for SEO .... I think there's sufficient clarity of intention for these mechanisms that you are only fooling yourself ethically by equating them .... my 2 cents ...

The artcle really has a lot of sense but... but why shouldn't guys pay for being on the top? if some guys are so unfortunate to start their online business this year - it will mean: 1. new domain name (google has special policy to pay less attention to younger domain names) 2. lack of inbound links what does that mean? only one thing - they should forget about having their site in top ten. is that right? no way! and here is when link building business enters. But instead of writing articles and comments with links to our SEO services as a way of promotion/link building it would be easier to pay per link. And note- those paid links are from index pages so way better than having links on the inner pages (though Google indexes those also=)...my conclusion - why not....whatever works! Well.

This is the best SEO article which I have ever read. Many are there who do not follow ethics. But not all paid links violate Google's guidelines. For the purpose of advertising, buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web. Again this should not be for manipulation of search results. David, you expressed in right manner.
