Presumably some sites will lose advertising revenue because their system of selling links to pass PR no longer works. That will, in turn, create a pool of unused ad-spend revenue... which could find its way into Google's pockets via Adwords. It's possible. :-) Neil. Moneywell: Yes.

If people aren't spending money on getting normal links to show up well in searches they will be spending more money on Adwords to retain good placement on search results pages. Won't they?

Won’t they?

After all, the organic listings are the "unpaid" segments of the search results. When sites at the top start accepting 'bribes', Google won't be kind to such abuse of high standings. If all these pages start to be secretly pushed up in pageranks by money influence, what does 'organic' mean in the end? Commerciality, which is a good thing in the right place, would actually become poison to the soil organics depend upon. When Google can accurately weed out sites with fake popularity, and have the collaborators identified/delisted/demoted, that would make way for the true cream of the crop to rise to the top. Sites with the best unique content, that stay clean, should win in every category. And searchers will more easily find those gems forged with real grassroot support. Which is the enabling purpose of the listings. All the extremely clever shortcuts of 'buying' their way into the front page of organic listings may become shortlived misguided wasteful attempts in future. Hopefully, this is the lesson here.

Thanks for letting us know about the Paid Link Slap. I don't have any paid links now, but have considered purchasing them. I wonder what this will do for companies who's main business is selling links. The overall trickle-down could be devestating for a lot of webmasters. All The Best! Hi Neil,
I have noticed a shift in Page Rank, and luckily for me it went in my favor. Thanks for letting us know about the Paid Link Slap. I don’t have any paid links now, but have considered purchasing them.

I wonder what this will do for companies who’s main business is selling links. The overall trickle-down could be devestating for a lot of webmasters.

All The Best!
