Is a link with no styling considered a hidden link?

I was looking over at this article.

When you don't style a link, then you really don't know if you click on a certain word, it might be a link.

But it's not hidden text or anything, just a link with no style. Will that be a violation?

I have a ad from a company on one of my websites, but part of the deal is that I have to also give them a text based link with an anchor. I get paid more when a person clicks on the ad, but not the link. So I'm trying to prevent people from clicking the link, but instead use the ad.

It sounds silly, but it, is what it is.
