I have a site that IAcquire pays to put 'advertising' on and it is still indexed in google.

  did you do google-toolbar (green) pagerankbar - tracking (also called thoughtcancerbar - but that's another story) actually the only good use of the green pagerank-bar in the google toolbar is to find out if a site got a trust penalty and/or has been strapped of the possibility to set valuable links. lets say you have a thoughtcancerbar value of 6/10. you implement your paid links serverside widget (or any other kind of paid links), the value drops from one day to the other of 2 to 3 points. now you have a thoughtcancerbar of 3/10 - well, they know about the network, you have been found and hit. the fun thing is, that the paid link network provider know exactly when this happens to their publishers, and they know exactly what it means (that their network is useless to their "advertisers" + harmful to their publishers) but well, that doesn't stop them from keep on selling links and getting new publishers on board. it's a shitty business.
