Three days ago I reported Google hired SEOs as their latest Google Webmaster Trends Analysts. Well, within two days, they are already helping webmasters in the Google forums.

Gary Illyes started what it seems a week ago today in the Google News Help forums. His old name in the support forums was method, so it seems like he has abandoned that name. Gary was very very helpful in the Google News Help forums and other forums. But now he is officially a Googler and helping people for a fee.

Pierre Far started posting yesterday under his name. His first post was in the Google Webmaster Help forum and it was just a post to introduce himself. He said:

Welcome new Googlers! I told you I’d be watching you.
