    Selling text links without nofollow is bad in googles eyes and you will loose or get your PR cut.

    Similarly to britishguy i dont know either, so didn't vote on this one, you will unfortunately only get half answers on this one, no one else can actually give you a full laymans terms answer on this and know it to be true.

    I seriously have no clue, if you take a look at it. There's several "scripts" that tend to look like textlinks, perhaps not sure if web sites that have features like "Site of the Day/Month" use nofollow, but that's another way to define a text link, maybe not for us, but certainly for the search engines.

    To save all confusion, we are now using BlueTac, pins or sticky tape to secure links to the pages in our site.

    only user generated content should have nofollow - wikipedia, blog posts, forum sigs etc.

    Doesn't TLA use javascript redirects ? If yes then it cant pass any PR, so no prblm.

    Ugh, don't get all twisted over google slaps.

    Only huge sites have gotten hit. And they've only gotten a pagerank hit! Their google ranking for keywords have stayed the same.

    Just don't be dumb and name the section: Paid Links or TLA Ads

    Just be smart, don't link to tla, just follow and you're gold.

    Selling links will lead to a PR cut - like searchengineland got. You dont get your own SERPs penalised as it has nothing to do with inbound links.
