[Tall Street]

That is a problem, and this is happening alot under Googles system at
the moment. People know Google ranks sites based on the link structure
so people purchasing links or hiring SEO firms to boost their own
ranking in Googles search engine.

Its inevitable that people will promote themselves the best way to
deal with it is to provide a fair system where everyone has an equal
chance and have a feedback loop that takes input from the users to
rerank and improve the quality, this essentially is what
http://www.tallstreet.com/ does.
