Google is planning on taking action against "hundreds of buyers, dozens of sites, & dozens of spammy writers” that bribe blogs to post links in order to build SEO ranking. Matt Cutts, head of Google's anti-spam effort responded via Twitter to a Gawker story titled Shady Marketing Firms Are Still Quietly Bribing Bloggers.
Recall https://t.co/ngSLofk0VF ? We're taking action on hundreds of buyers, dozens of sites, & dozens of spammy writers.

Blackhat SEO companies are pitching authors directly, and circumventing the website and blog owners. These are not business transactions from high-up the decision making ladder. Google has been in hot pursuit of link sellers, buyers, networks and brokers that violate it's policies.
The Gawker story mentioned one such network by name--Backlinks.us. The story reveals an email chain that includes examples of other large websites that have utilized the services of Backlinks.us.
