It’s true. Look at how Dane does it over at his superb Business Opportunities weblog. Check the sidebar, see the featured links?
I counted 50 links right now. That’s $2500/month. Are they nofollow Dane?
If you would like me to list your website under the “Featured Websites†banner down at the bottom of the front page please click the PayPal button below to subscribe. The current price is $49.95 per month, but because of demand I am expecting to raise the price soon, so please order today and lock in your rates!
Not too bade a price for a PR 6 website with high-quality content. Hmmm… You got me thinking Dane.

Business Around A Lifestyle
The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.
That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?
Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
Thinking about what exactly?
“However, link-selling sites can lose their ability to give reputation (e.g. PageRank and anchortext).”

If you were to buy links, those would be the type I would stay away from. Those that advertise that they’re selling them. Making it too easy for Google.
I agree with you Trust. I was thinking about something other than doing this on my site, not related.
I do think that Dane is making money, but yes, those links are probably not something Google likes very much. That’s why I asked if they were nofollow.
I also think that Dane is bleeding page rank with all of those links too.
Plus he charges 5.5k a month for a adbrite link and he has 7 up there atm.
