And, when it comes down to it, not even real PR but the PR that shows up in the green toolbar widget. Google controls search almost entirely. They also control a substantial amount of online advertising. They're using their position in search to harm competitors in the online advertising field. Bloggers, for the most part, just want to make an honest buck off their writing efforts. The actions of two companies acting badly has caused them to resort to underhanded tactics.

This is the kind of impression Google has imbued our brains with: Google controls the internet, and if you go against them, you are a criminal.

Since I am on the free site, they don't allow me to use paid links! Very interesting and I have been hearing lots of talk about using or not!

Both sides (Google, Paid Link Companies) have too much invested to back down. As the time goes on TLA and other such companies will find other ways to get around Google and Google will continue to penalize people who have paid links. It'll never end :P This battle is definitely interesting. Both sides (Google, Paid Link Companies) have too much invested to back down.
