"I don't get it and this happens from time to time.  A site owner is upset his site is not ranking well.  He goes onto the Google Webmaster Help forums to complain and a Googler comes in and outs his practices.This example is  of a site owner who seems to be using fake Google+ profiles, with real big names in the industry to promote a medical site.John Mueller of Google, responded in a thread, without arresting her:Since you ask \"I am a doctor by profession but interested to know about webmasters daily activity in current scenario.\" I think one thing worth mentioning is that there are a bunch of fake Google+ profiles promoting your employer's site. Perhaps it's worth contacting the website's SEO company to ask why they would do that -- dropping links like that is generally a bad idea, and impersonating users while promoting a medical site is definitely something I personally wouldn't recommend doing.How does one respond to that?  It is a shame to see this, it means I am not doing a good job communicating this to message to people.Either way, stop trying to trick Google and if you do, don't complain about rankings in a forum thread run by Google.Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help.Image credit to BigStockPhoto for happy sad face."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
