That is just a tool to help people who might be stuck for suitable language to include in a disclosure policy, and don't forget they also have a forum to discuss how to modify the generated policies to your own use. Google is a non-issue. If they crack down on PPP, they have to crack down on other paid links first, many of which have been around longer than Google themselves, such as paid directory listings. PPP is far more legitimate than the Yahoo directory. I am just going to use my disclosure policy plugin on all affiliate sites that review products, with a very general disclosure. PPP certainly aren’t asking people to link back to their policy generator site.

PPP is asking that the bloggers "link" back to their own disclosurepolicy.org website. This would leave a footprint/format for google to filter (or at least scrutinize more closely). And more in response to your questions - It's not really any different than writing about an affiliate or site sponsor. They both pay for the exact same thing if they're having a blogger write about their product/service. As for PPP, I'm putting on my "Be Weary" hat and will stick to the one with non-disclosures. ;) Sounds like some easy tracks to follow from Google’s perspective.
