Spam always wins on google. Key to google success is simple. Buy a domain with your keywords in it hyphenated, get as many link swaps as you can with the anchor text being your keywords. Watch your little 1 page affiliate spam site beat major competitors.

I myself concentrate on brand and quality, but in the past few months ive started working on these spam type sites and the results are amazing. It looks like im gonna make more money and get more traffic from a 3 page site I put together in 20 min to rank well in google than I am with my 5 year old site with tens of thousands of pages of content. I have quite a few older sites and none rank well despite good PR. It is clearly all about anchor text and domain keywords and no graphics on your page.
