Very untrue!

Many times the sites spamming have many duplicate site all crossed linked with strategic anchor text giving each site inflated PRs top positions.

Many times, the same site will command 3 or 4 of the top spots.

That is not solid SEO. That is spam and the only to beat is to to either have it removed, or join them and try to out spam them.

I prefer to keep my site clean and don't want to spam and instead just report them every month with the hope that some day they will get caught.
