The text link ads look just Adsense with different ad block sizes for you to choose for display. Instead of getting paid only when an ad is clicked, you earn as long as the ad is displayed. But this is not pay per thousand impression (CPM). You get to set how much you want to charge per ad per day.

Matt Cutts has confirmed that there are different types of Google penalties being meted out to misbehaving sites. In case you’re wondering, “misbehaving” would include buying and selling links that pass PageRank, among other instances that lie in the grey area such as duplicate content.

Matt Cutts was reporting on his “You&A” session at the SMX Advanced 2008 conference. Matt Cutts also said that “PageRank sculpting” is not worth the effort it takes. The time spent “PageRank sculpting” would be better spent on building compelling content.
