Welcome to the Forum Jon,
On the record no-one can buy sell or manipulate Googles pagerank algorithm and a word of advice is to keep your linking relationships (how much you paid/charge etc) out of public posts etc or you will bring unwanted attention to yourself and your advertisers.

As for needing to talk, this forum is not completed yet but very soon will be the best place to come get all of your answers, in the meantime you may email me any time seoguy@seo-guy.com or call me 250-751-2447 I'd be happy to help you get started on your way to a career in internet marketing.

Welcome to the Board Jon
Cheers
SEO Guy
