Google hates paid links for PR

Then report them 
Double standards, but they are Google.
Can someone explain what is meant by 'double standards, what am I missing here?
is it because that image was an adswords advert? If yes, then like I said, report it and it will be pulled.
Google can't be blamed for a rogue advertiser

Some say that Google is itself doing what it doesn`t want others to do.
If you buy a Google Mini from them, then you get to post your testimonial on that page which includes a solid PR 7 link pointing to your site without their forced tag “rel=nofollow”.
In other words, a backlink, which is paid for.
I checked back and here`s a story going back sometime about the outrage of some towards Google`s attitude to pad for links.
PR 8 Links from Google.com Only $1,995
And a link to the `Success Stories` which are the cause for concern among some.

This just goes to show the double standards they employ - it is all right when someone is using their advertising to promote paid links But when you do it - you get penalized!
very good

As Google say about purchasing the links for Pr purpose is bad and allows for the advertisement purpose. But a point made by matt cutt regarding the paid links can be done in a following way you can have a look at it

this is an example how to get paid links.

With respect it is NOT right when someone uses Google advertising, and if people reported it rather than just cbitch about it, it would not be hapenning. I am not having a go here, but people are trying to justify selling links based on PageRank. IT IS WRONG. it is against the terms and conditions of Google, it went to court and google won, so WHY are people complaining about getting PR zeroed for doing it?
hey you can sell drugs from the steps of a court or a police station, but it don't mean the police approve of it. And if you get caught, then live with the consequenses
I think the problem is that Google are doing what they don`t like others doing. They DO have the option to `nofollow` the links of their advertisers who get a write-up on Google`s own site.
Some would argue it`s debatable whether Google are selling links as such, since they are not exactly doing it in a direct way. But, the fact is that a person uses their services by paying for them, and one of the `rewards` is a nice link back to their own sites. Just seems to me (and judging by a lot of comments in blogs I`ve seen by others too), that Google are selling links in an indirect way. So, how can they possibly be reported?

Links from Google don't carry any link juice!
How are you defining not carrying any `juice?`
Interesting blog at Linkworth which shows pretty convincingly that Google links do carry juice. Those links carry the same weight as any other backlinks.

How do I get a Google mini to my web site?
Where is the signup link?
How much does it cost?
I know many are now asking those very questions.

Here`s the link. I know very little about how it operates though, I only got involved in this thread because of the Google link issue.

Thanks teamplayer. I did not know it costs $3000. Quite a bit for a PR7 link I must say,
I am repeating what I was told direct from the horses mouth by a Google engineer. No link benefit is allowed to pass from links on the google brand. Just cos they are showing up in backlinks etc doesn't mean they are passing link benefit.
Google block domains from passing link juice all the time, such as phpbb.com
