I hope they factor into their algorithm recent link buys rather than the older ones. On the other hand, Google was against link buys all along. If competitors snitch because they do a backlink check and find a paid blog post or something, companies can get in trouble because of a wrong move an outside consultant made. And that hurts.

You have to think that they have to have thought through the sabotage part already right? I’m still have to respond to your e-mail buddy, but this will be interesting to see.
