Auto-click programs, farming etc.

[Kyle Postlewait]

Heyo,

I manhandle the website and SEO for a hotel in Japan which is way too stuffy to let me get much of anything done.
In -general-, people/companies in Japan are way behind on their understanding of the web/SEO/computers, and I'm kind of out in the country so it's even worse.

I get calls from "SEO" companies and web-site construction companies and all sorts of sharks almost weekly, and I just wanted to finally ask the question out loud and make it clear to myself.

------------
Making a program to auto-click links is both in violation of Google rules, and really wouldn't do much anyway. Right?

This company has been bugging me for a while to the point they're trying to come next week and present their goods for me, so I told em to call back tomorrow so I can research and then tell em off. The lady on the phone after I badgered her for a while ended up telling me it's a CD that you put in your computer that will automatically up page rank, and that a new CD will come every two weeks. Auto-click spamming is all I can think of.... and I have no idea how they plan to hide behind an hour long presentation, but I am not interested in listening to it XD

In truth I think they should all just be arrested, but maybe I'm just bitter after dealing with manual actions and what not from other people messing with stuff clearly labelled as bad practice. I supposed Yahoo cares less about all of this, and Japan loves their Yahoo, but I love my Google and I'm not interested in hurting my page rank in Google AND spending money on it, just for some auto-clicks from the same IP. There's no way I'm giving them money I just want the know-how to finally tell them why they need to stop calling me.

Thanks for any input.
