I have the same concern about embedded link buying (as in payperpost, blogsvertise, etc) where the bloggers say they're making a "sponsored post." We know search engines evaluate the anchor text of a link as well as the text surrounding the link, so it seems likely they could weed things out by connecting the phrase "sponsored post" to the nearest links. Same for bloggers who categorize their sponsored posts as "Payperpost Posts" or something similar.
I certainly thinking buying quality links -- especially in the case of bloggers doing embedded links, as those are usually quite varied and natural looking -- is worthwhile and generally safe.
