Perhaps Google should of never publically released the PageRank. And kept it a secret Algo for only them to know. What they could do though now is just shut of PR from being publically displayed. Game over.

SW your thinking is flawed… first of all your assuming Google can actually do that and I don’t think they can. That is why they went to the second best… if Google could indeed penalize every site selling links they would do it. The fact remains they can find very few of these.

Google will penalize any paid link sellers they can find but again they can find very few of these…. that is why they had to discredit toolbar PR in the hopes that it couldn’t be as easily used to sell links. If Google could penalize all paid link sellers and discredit any value from being passed they would do it.

I don’t think paid links are as wonderful as they are made out to be but if you do buy links don’t use services such as textlinkbrokers or google is more likely to catch you,.

The real concern about being “penalized” by Google would center around a possible loss in SERPs. If Google drops the PR of a site (not that it happened to me) for some reason, would they next effect your position in the SERPs. That could be a major issue.

You are pretty much in line with my own thoughts regarding the update. Google is much better at blowing smoke than anything else as far as I see in the serps.
