My understanding is that selling links is frowned upon by Google, so you will have to proceed cautiously if you don't want your PageRank affected.

A cautionary tale for those interested in selling links...

I had a personal blog which had a PageRank of 6 (mostly due to the fact it had been around for ages and had gathered lots of inbound links). Last year I got an email from a company called LinkLift who were offering me money to put paid links in my sidebar.

I signed up and all was well for a few months, I was actually making around £100 a month for next to zero work. However, I think after a while Google worked out I was selling links as my inbound traffic took a massive nose dive and my PR dropped from 6 to 2! It's been about 6 months since I removed the links and told LinkLift to do one but my traffic still hasn't recovered and my PageRank still sucks.

Suffice to say, I won't make that mistake again!

Its no different from your multiple threads where you ask for link exchanges - but you are adding to the risk by broadcasting the urls in the threads.
 
You're correct, selling links for pagerank is frowned heavily upon by Google. If you're caught then you can expect to get slapped with a pretty heavy pagerank penalty, at worst it can be zeroed which will impact heavily on your search rankings.

I buy and sell links all the time though, it's just a case of being a bit clever about how you do it. Avoid organised schemes at all costs, they're usually pretty obvious and it's easy for the whole network to get hit.

Also, link placement, footer links are almost always bought or paid in some way, and there's quite a bit of evidence to show that these are ignored or less effective.

Try to buy (or sell) editorial links, in relevant text, much harder to prove any non-editorial intent and far more effevtive in the long run.
