Google Caught Selling High PageRank Links, Again 
By: Aaron Wall 2007-08-09 Google is buying marketshare for Google Checkout by profiling merchants who use it, and giving them free high PageRank links from Google sites. The Google Checkout blog, currently a PageRank 8 site, recently posted about the success of GolfBalls.com on their blog.
The blog post about GolfBalls.com contains the following passage:
If Google does something like that it is a co-brand cross promotion, and all is well. If I do something like that it is an attempt to manipulate Google and/or a spammy link buy. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I would do it differently than Google is doing it. I would just like to remind Google engineers that they would call me as a spammer if I did the same things they do to make their business model work. This is a mistake Google has made many times in the past. How can Google ask webmasters to police paid links then do that kind of crap? What a bunch of hypocritical garbage.
