I've been giving Google benefit of the doubt on these matters despite our huge traffic and money loss in February. But I'm wondering if Helleborine's case is becoming more the rule than the exception.

Here is yet another example of how Google seems to be promoting spam more than fighting it these days:

Some pages of our content were scraped by the site "scrapersite.it". This site is NO LONGER ONLINE, yet it remains the top listing for some searches for which we have no listing at all despite being their source of content.(e.g. "Three Fork Restaurant Dallas Texas").

Also of interest is that this site that still has over 21,000 indexed pages (with only ONE page currently online) was running porn, trademarked content, and of course.... adsense advertising.
