Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as: Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the [a] tag" In other words Google allows websites to direct traffic to other websites, but not to try and boost their page rank artificially. @Ken + Margaret:

Do you mean that Google doesn't allow advertising on their hosted blogs? If so, that stinks. I was toying with the idea of trying to earn enough on my blog to at least pay for the cost of running the site after I retire. I am a little confused by all of this.

You aren't supposed to do ads on a blog? Can't you write anything you want? Hmmmm...So, those people who do make money off their sites must have their own websites, not hosted ones. I am confused. What do all the numbers mean? I don’t get it. You aren’t supposed to do ads on a blog? Can’t you write anything you want?
