most of googles stuff is done algorithmically. they have always preferred to fight from a distanmce rather than hand to hand. My guess is that they have a little algo that checks the reported sites for tell tale signs of wrong doing ie. blocks of text all linking out to various site. Small text in the footer with out bound links on. Someone on this forum posted the other day that it is ridiculous my posting this, when some of my own sites do this very thing, and that i should practice what I preach! before someone smart arse does that again, I will answer the question before it is asked. I DO run things like this across test sites, I do a LOT of SEO testing, as do most decent SEO's. I have various test sites that I use that, if banned, would mean I learn from it.
