Google needs to define first
Google needs to define first what a paid link is. A link to a sponsor from a PR8 edu page is paid or not?
Google maffia
business... google wants the whole cookie for itself and delete sites from their index if they earn money without giving something to them
you can compare it to MAFFIA
hey, you give me 20% of your business or we cut you (out of the search results)
Force to Adwords
If Google do not do any thing about paid links all advertiser or web maketing person will leave Google adwords . They can imagine How much money they will loss with Adwords including share holding. So they do something at first to force some advertiser use thier Adwords program. They are smart doing for them.
So what are paid links anyway
What exactly are paid links anyway? I often have a mix of banner ads paid for by advertisers and those I swap with compatible sites. I have 37 sites so I often swap links between the compatble sites but Google recognizes none of them as incoming links.
Is Google seeing my banner swaps as paid links and penalizing me?
Cutts-Shmutts
I though Google was run by Brin and Page. This whole babble around Shmutts is pointless and a waste of time.
Webmasters and SEOs are fussing about Google like a bunch of papuans presented with mechanical dildos. I mean glass beads.
paid links
If Google don't put an end to people buying their way to the top of the SERPS with paid links, there goes the purity of Google's results and there goes any reason to buy Google Ads. There goes Google's business model. Guess what? They like it and they want to keep it. I agree with them to a degree, paid links winning the SERPS means it just goes back to being a battle of the budgets and whoever has the biggest one wins. That's no good for anyone.

Paid links versus traded links
Google could probably spot the obvious paid links but it can't spot them all. I guess in the examples above people are trading links based on favours rather than cash.
Buying links
This whole paid link peanlty really confuses me. If google allows people to turn in others for paid links doesn't that give people the oppertunity to purchase links for a competitor and then just turn them in? I don't get it.
