|  Is there a risk of a bot or a Google penalty in this...?
If i pay someone from fiverr to increase the number of Likes on my blog posts, is there a risk that they would use a bot? As far as I know, I thought bots were used sometimes to increase Likes on Facebook pages, but this is the Like and Tweet buttons on a WordPress blog posts. Would they be able to use a bot for this? I don't want to do something that might cause Google to give the blog a penalty |

There probably is a bot out there for this. A good rule of thumb is, if you think Google may punish you for something, then they probably will. Benjamin Ehinger |

I would never buy backlinks or likes or tweets or anything related to SEO from Fiverr. Plenty of stories of Google delisting after a Fiverr SEO gig was performed. I mean, what do you expect for five bucks? I use socialkik.com for such things. They do it manually and take it slow and easy. |

The fiverr prices are way cheaper than micro worker sites, suggesting they may be bots, I don't know tht facebook likes are Google's business, sounds like Facebook is your worry.

I would steer away from all such unnatural practices and focus on creating better content. What good will a bought follower/fan/liker do to your business?

Yes generally their using bots with proxies, no way someone is manually logging into 100+ accounts to like you.
