Making 85k+ without really trying

W3C, for those not in the know, is an organization that dedicates itself to setting standards and guidelines for the development of the World Wide Web. It's been around since 1994, issuing white papers and guidelines the whole time. Their site has a Google page rank of 9/10 which is absolutely fantastic, so they've decided to cash in on it, and sell links from their site, under the guise of sponsoring W3C. So for a donation of $1k+ annually, you can get a link to your site, which will help your site with it's own rankings. Obviously so far 85+ companies feel that it's worth it...

Say, wanna buy a link? I'm much cheaper than W3C ;)
