In Overstock's case, the retailer offered discounts of 10% on some merchandise to students and faculty. In exchange, it asked college and university websites to embed links for certain keywords like "bunk beds" or "gift baskets" to Overstock product pages.

Nicely done..until they got caught :)

People buy SEO hard links all the time, every day. Overstock was doing the same. They just paid for them with a 10% discount instead of straight out.
