Moderation is the key, as you said. I wouldn't say that there are bad sites as such myself. But there are people who quit.

He was trying to stress - "don't go selling them". Also, at the same conference, there was a session in which purchasing text links was being advocated from the podium in spite of the fact that Matt was sitting in the back of the room taking it all in. I would say that, whatever the risk, it falls on sellers much more than buyers.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16915','potentmix'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16915','potentmix','A while back, at a conference, I overheard Matt Cutts say that Google is looking more to find and penalize SELLERS of text links than to rooting out buyers.

Like Marc stated in the Q&A - they have a good range of ways to use their system. I think if you did decide to try it, the best way would be to be as "random" as possible. Different anchor texts, different articles, different pages, etc etc. @ Chris - I DO FEEL its very important for anyone to make their own call on a service like this. That said... I, like many in the aff marketing arena, have used paid adverts on MANY sites. Thus far - I have not had any sites beat up. But again... moderation, and as random as I could be! :-)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16909','Mark'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16909','Mark','@ Caro - \r\n\r\nI have gone through their system pretty thoroughly...
