Google Employee try to buy links?

I was just wondering if it is possible, that Google employees send you an email that they would like to buy some links on your website?

I thought maybe they would do that to get you and ban you. Is it possible?

Any suggestion?

 

Sure they could. But its seems like a hard way to collect data. They prefer to get webmasters (stool pigeons) to rat each other out. That way they can build an algo to stop it, rather than rely on a huge army of people who would need to get paid.

 

I don't think that google will do such thing as there are so many websites.

 

I really doubt it.. link selling is not a crime (even though it would be funny for them to have a team of undercover paid link detectives)
I think they rely on the report paid links feature and no nofollow links to irrelevant sites.

 

I don't think paid links is crime ... they are not against it till and until they are bought just to get some link juice ... if you pass juice + relevant traffic its ok to sell links

 

I think have much better things to do.

 

Don't be so suspicious com on ....

 

If a Googler bribes you, then they're guilty of aiding and abetting.

 

After all, I understand that Google would not do something like that.

 

It could not be possible,
As Google itself break it's rules by doing so...
Never happen...

 

Practically its not possible to collect data.

 

I think this information may not correct that google employee are sending the email.

 

i doubt it seriously

 

I did not know, that Google has rules for itself. Interesting.
But where did you read something like that? Could you give me the link please?

 

What site would they have you link to? Not Google?

 

hmm.. why are all of you so optimistic. They might or might not do that but who knows. you never know. so yeah... just what i think.

 

Google bot goes to your site, automatically fills out your contact form with bogus message, and they tag all the site owners that respond saying yes. Very easy for them to do it. I'm pretty sure they have a link to most websites on the web

 

Yes, bots is their weapon of choice to get webmasters' contacts.

 

I do not think google will stoop to this as they have better things to do with their time.

 

I honestly don't think they would either, but it is as easy as I mentioned above. I can't believe the stooped to having webmasters ratting out each other. I wouldn't do that, even to a rat. PR was a Google marketing tool that did not have the foresight to see webmasters manipulating it. Sooner or later, visible PR will be a thing of the past.
