goodness me
id consider myself fairly experienced webmaster but all this is very confusing, something the spammers want to stay that way...

appreciate the detail and research into your post japanese but im still at a loss to explain it to someone else...and certainly how to make sure it doesnt happen to my site

if this problem can be summed up so an average internet user/webmaster can understand then maybe that is the first step to awareness, step 2 - outrage!

(without being egotistical) if i find this confusing then most people wouldnt know there was a problem in the first place

this seems to be part of the problem, spammers etc operate at a level that only a minority of ethical webmasters/seos really understand what they are doing, they then try to explain to the slow learners (me) how the rug is being pulled from under us, meanwhile the spammers get richer and the public keep clicking from SERPS in a state of uninformed bliss.

google is obviously aware of pretty much everything that is wrong with their product but how to fix it?
I for one wouldnt want to work there these days. Seems like a lot of leaks in the google oceanliner right now, most of them below deck but some like this "leak" are well below deck and more serious.

Abandon ship?
MSN has just left port, looking pretty much unsinkable in the long run...
of course thats what they said about the titanic

hmm, maybe i should just go back to landscaping...
