Hi Zubin,

I think the time worn phrase "avoiding the appearance of inpropriety" comes into play here. And remember, there are other factors to consider besides Google penalizing your website. They include things like legal guidelines enforced by government agencies (including the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S.) and most importantly perhaps, the trust of your readers. Are you betraying that trust by creating referrals for reasons other than merit or than your honest opinion about the quality of a link, website or service? Thinking about some of these questions is probably a better idea than waiting for a set of absolute guidelines from Google.
