    All my sites have paid links (sorry they do).

    The ones that got slapped though were the web 2.0 sites with spun content and tiered link spam propping them up.

    There was a debate, but again until some one reported you are buying links, it is hard for Google to discover with millions or trillions of web sites out there.

      Nothing new about a paid link slap. Always been there.
      If you buy links to shmooze PR, you may get slapped.
      If your accepts paid links, you may get slapped.

      Your PR suffers because google subtracts the links,
      lowering your PR (if applicable.) Lowering of PR
      also lowers plenty of other things, but only to
      their natural levels.

      Many people think slipping to where they naturally would
      be is a penalty. It's not. If you eat junk food and watch
      TV 24 hours a day, run a marathon, finish last, you
      did not suffer a penalty. You finished exactly where you
      should.

      Google only guesses at paid links for PR shmoozing.
