Anyone who buys or sells links is now a search engine spammer?
Can this be true?

The family of SEO Black Hats just got a whole lot bigger. Tons of people who thought they were playing by the rules, including sites in every category of the Internet, just got categorized as search engine spammers by Google in Matt Cutt’s recent post

"Google may provide a special form for paid link reports at some point, but in the mean time, here’s a couple of ways that anyone can use to report paid links:
- Sign in to Google’s webmaster console and use the authenticated spam report form, then include the word “paidlink” (all one word) in the text area of the spam report. If you use the authenticated form, you’ll need to sign in with a Google Account, but your report will carry more weight.
- Use the unauthenticated spam report form and make sure to include the word “paidlink” (all one word) in the text area of the spam report."

It was a really very interesting news for me. I think google and the internet market forced us to buy links and make selling links possible. According to Matt Cutt's explanation I'm also a spammer, but this is the webromotion recently for keyphrases can provide high traffic through on clicking organic results. I'm sure google is mainly interested in AdWords so I don't know why don't they finish displaying organic results.

It's simple for Google to get rid of the link market. Just stop using Pagerank in their algorithm.

Live.com is the next Google, google pagerank sucks big time....how a site can rank based on backlinks is simply stupid. Google PR opens everything up to spammers. Infact the google search engine sucks full stop....

Live.com gives me some search hits (maybe 10 or 15 a day), not even close to as many as google, but maybe they are coming around the mountain....

Google thinks the search world revolves around them.

Just because people buy and sell links doesn't mean it has anything to do with Google.

They could simply be doing it to drive traffic.

Yet another heavy-handed tactic. The next thing you know, they're going to be another Microsoft (my way or the highway type).

the discussion and arguments are not finished yet on this issue, why jump into conclusion that it will now be a se spammer? if you read mattcutts blog about this issue, you can see comments that are worth not just jumping into the scenario.
