I recently wrote about a new text link buying service by v7n on my other blog. Matt Cutts also wrote about it and then launches into a trip down memoray lane. The moral of his story is that spam will be found and spammers delisted. However the spam in his story is nothing at all like buying text links...
And interestingly if you do a Google search or read the comments on Matt's blog you'll find that Google is letting spammers screw their search results.
