Long story short: it looks like Google is directly or indirectly involved in a paid post scheme to get people with good PageRank to write reviews about Google Chrome. The reviews don’t have to be positive, but that doesn’t matter. This isn’t about the review content, it’s all about SEO.
If true, Google should be banning links to Google Chrome’s download page for a year or so, per their enforcement of previous violations of this nature by third-parties. Will that happen? Probably not. Which is shameful.

I have to believe Google isn’t trying to be evil here, I simply think they have certain divisions tasked with getting certain results (Chrome downloads, in this case). They probably don’t even realize their methods are in direct opposition to the Google Search protocols. In other words, they’re sloppy [emphasis mine].
именно так все и есть, правая рука не знает и не понимает левую.
But that’s no excuse. If this evidence is legitimate, Chrome links should be banned.
