Short of the captcha being solved, there aren't any humans involved - even the article text used is scraped from the web using the terms they are trying to rank highly for. Then, once google spiders it, their receptor site gains ranking and relevance and starts to show up higher in the results. Then, champagne falls from the heavens, doors open, velvet ropes part.
