>Google Spamming - Definition Required

To paraphrase Neo: there is no spam.

Search Engine Spam: The result of machine generated listings. Search engines have not progressed to the stage where they can effective critique all textual materials.

Watching this forum now for so many years, it is clear to me that a large portion of webmasters are confused about "spam" as Google would define it. With PageRank the gate keeper, the majority of lower quality pages are kept out.

It is when we get into those lower quality pages where it is patently difficult for Google to know what is and isn't "spam". There simply isn't enough traffic down there to allow the mathematics to earn their keep.
