Exactly what I was thinking. Probably not any more than it would cost the website owner, however much that is. Depending on how successful your competition is and how much money you have in the bank this could be a viable strategy.

And the implications of that make me shiver a little.

(Disclosure: I have no idea how much it would cost. But my hypothesis is that it would be the same as if the website owner had done it.)



I think Google simply discounts the non-valuable links rather than penalizes the sites. Otherwise things like this can happen.
