Google is the worlds largest link seller.

One aspect that many people seem to be overlooking is that the links Google sells via Adwords do not get affect how a site might rank in Google's organic results. They're for direct traffic only (assuming the clicks are all valid, but that's a different discussion).

Adwords links = apples

Plain-vanilla direct HTML links = oranges
