Google wants to know the 'details' not to see a sign of good faith, but rather to accumulate more data about not only your site, but also the sites you linked with. Google loves any data about sites and this is their primary motivator, not developing a relationship with you.
what about ad banners? i mean i have two banners on my website and these guys are paying me for that. So, could these links harm my reputation? (Right now both links are do follow)
it's not that easy because if you believe 99% of your links are natural how can you pick the ones to remove? and the remaining 1% has already the rel=nofollow tag... ANd if we got THOUSANDS of pages/articles how can it be easy? so #frustrating!!
Just go through your pages/articles 1 by 1, manually! Its not easy but has to be done. I had to go through nearly 10k pages/articles in my spare time which took me like 2 months. Just calculate in front if its worth it.
caesarlivenloud I'd advice you to re-read the guidelines and some blogs about what allowed and what isn't. Then re-check all pages but for all guidelines even though it takes WAY more time. It takes alot of time but from that point on you're good, as long as you check all new content that is placed on the website.
Dennis Wolf am reading: Google detected a pattern of unnatural, artificial, deceptive, or manipulative outbound links on pages on this site. This may be the result of selling links that pass PageRank or participating in link schemes. most of the links i had referred to artists pages or other information related to them. i am removing all of them now
What if there's been a mistake? I got the message but have no paid links from the site. Would be helpful to know which links you actually consider unnatural.
Soul Sanctuary You could request a review from the Manual Actions page, and a Googler will take another look at your site. Or if you want more details, you could post in the forum to have someone take a look and see what you might have missed: productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters
Whatever Google! Man you guys... you shouldn't dictate how people link to things online. You're going to make people afraid to link to anything. Yandex has it right
Whew! Google sure is stepping up their game here. I guess based on matts example, being completely transparent with Google even if you've used link networks is the way to go. I wonder how many webmasters they "forgave" though compared to the ones they didn't. It'd be interesting to find that out.
El primero que vulnera los resultados 'naturales' es google con sus anuncios. Si una empresa invierte dinero en adwords, sale el primero en sus anuncios, en los resultados de las búsquedas o en anuncios display, etc... Esto se podría denominar hipocresía. Google parece decir: "el pastel es mío y solo yo gano dinero". Si tanto amor le tienen a su PR, que pongan los anuncios al final de las páginas y dejen que los resultados sean generados de forma 'natural'.

What does pass page rank mean?
The links in youtube descriptions are no follow
I totally didn't think about links FROM my site. I've always worried about links to my site. Great stuff here.
what about ad banners? i mean i have two banners on my website and these guys are paying me for that. So, could these links harm my reputation? (Right now both links are do follow)
Google said so many times that sites cannot buy links. But i know some sites that get paid links and go higher in serp.

Dennis Wolf that's what I am doing. Now I am getting other things about the content... I can never win...

That's a great way to put it, "Would I make this link if page rankings didn't exist?"

Los buenos links se ganan, los penalizables se pagan.
Lo que no se, es como aun la gente sigue comprando enlaces, con la de informacion que existe de que esta penalizado...
