So a hot topic in the search market today and probably the biggest story of 2012 so far is Google buying sponsored posts via a large number of bloggers to promote Google chrome. The funny thing is that Google has pointed in guide lines over the years that sponsored posts are not advisable.

Search engine land has found over 400 instances of sponsored posts by Google example:

sponsored-posts-google

sponsored-posts-google

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It shows that if Google wants to police specific search rules they need to across the board.
