It is a fine line between link bait for the sake of it, and clever marketing that goes viral. Like you say though, it could all be a smoke screen from the mighty Google.

I think publicity in the online sense should be in the forms of virals and articles. Most people that use google wouldn't like to think that the results they see could be affected by a higher spend on the part of one website over a more relevant match. I have used paid links and hope that Google doesn't penalize my site for doing so, but Google has to position itself in the eyes of it's users as an impartial source of information. I'm not certain how they will determine what a paid link is and what a natural link is though. This could infact all be rhetoric to simply make it look like are keeping search results genuine and relevant- I guess we'll wait and see. Keep up the good blogging...
