From what I've been gathering Google does not want this type of thing going on. Same thing with buying high PR links. Why? Well, IMHO if you master a few other things and get high pagerank, you can pretty much place high for just about anything you want.

I'm not trying to stir up a PR / pagerank discussion either, I did mean pagerank.

But as Bill mentioned in the other thread, posting in public you are doing something Google doesn't want you doing, then it's a risk to me.
