I'm sure if you are sloppy, buy shit links, or too many too fast, it might kick in some filters, but I can't see G being THAT picky. If they were I'd think entire industries would drop off the SERPS. Google's guidelines leave a lot of room for interpretation. How could it be wrong to buy "advertising" or "traffic" for your site?
