Obviously something went wrong with what they were doing and got their hands slapped.
Think about all those thousands of people who signed up and lost money on the service?

If memory serves, I believe they merged with some other linking program...

Powerlinks sent out an email not too long ago saying that the links that were hosted on their servers were now devalued by Google, maybe other SEs. They suggested people change it so website's host their own links using powerlinks network. I believe they were shutting down all hosted links on their servers. Not sure if they lost any users because of it..
