The quality of the search results in google depends heavily on links and buying links result obviously in worse search result. These site can only detected by humans. So i think don't buy links for the long term, it may help you to boost an new site, but for the long term stay on right site of the lane.. ;-) I think google will ban websites that sell links solely for money.

That is how people are truly voting for a site. But I agree, Google is mostly concerned about the bottom line (happens when you go public) and are not highly motivated to implement any drastic changes.

Sites should be ranked according to good content, user interaction, graphics etc. Basically exactly what people actually think of the website. The problem with that is its just far harder to do then links. Until somebody comes up with a better system, or search engine, Google just doesn't need to improve markedly. While we operate our link building campaign with only a few paid links (such as business.com and yahoo directory, and yes these are paid links) we do have 3 content writers a graphics designer and a pair of programmers, in addition to myself. So even if we are submitting an article or making some link bait, that team costs quite a bit of money!
