As you point out, there needs to be better understanding of this from all ends. I recall BMW being blacklisted by Google many years ago for its site using 'black hat' SEO practices (in this case, keyword stuffing). Thanks James – I think a few have been approached.

Luckily we were able to explain to the ad reps that the long term damage wasn't worth the cash. More worrying in this case was that the firm that wanted to buy the links was a high-street firm that really should have known better. It clearly wasn't getting good advice from its advertising agency. We’ve been approached on this – it’s hard times for newspapers and the additional revenue seems seductive.

The links are sold on the basis of the site's PageRank. So a link on a site with a PageRank of 8 is worth a lot more than one on a site with a PageRank of 2. And if the site doesn't allow search engines to crawl their site at all, then the links are worthless and unsellable anyway. @Intelligenthanson Opting out of search engines is irrelevant.

I know a web developer who had his website busted from a page rank 8/10 to a 4/10, simply because he was lured in to selling links at the bottom of page. A timely and good warning.
