Placement in search results is never sold to anyone. Advertising on the site must offer relevant content and not be a distraction. No pop-up ads allowed.
PageRank
PageRank explained by Google: Google interprets a link on page A going to page B as a vote -- by page A, for page B. Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily.
