Search Engine Optimisation Matt Cutts (a google engineer) posted yesterday about google are looking at ways for people to report paid links on websites.

Promote your blog I was a little reluctant to comment at first with my name attached to this website as i wanted to work on content before doing anything along the lines of promotion.
