Pointer, to Cash for Citations

I'm disturbed to find that nobody is offering to pay me large sums just to have me affiliated with them for the purposes of raising their citation count.  What am I doing wrong?

I'm referring to the cash-for-citation article I found by way of Crooked Timber;  here's what they refer to as the "liberated Science article" describing the issue in full detail.  Always nice to know what the going rates are for this sort of thing.

Never having gotten the "2% annual raise professors typically get," I'd do it for sure.

Interesting, though I thought it was going to involve paying someone to be a co-author of a paper in the hopes that it would increase the chances of acceptance (which I can totally see happening).
