    I have frequently seen mention of penalising websites which purchase links.

    How are search engines able to determine if a link had been paid for or not?

    Google automatically detects “odd” things. For example at the very beginning people could make a website with “gambling gambling gambling gambling gambling gambling” etc and get good results. Keyword stuffing etc.
    Nowadays it’s more advanced but they still detect a lot of link sales. IE if your website is about garden hoses and you have a do-follow link to a bingo portal, on 1000 indexed pages… it looks su****ious.

    Sure. I guess my question is more in relation to links from one site of gambling related content to another.

    Does that mean that sitewide links are really bad now, I know they have been worth less than they used to be but didn’t know that they are now being penalised?
