"go back to building and promoting your site to the degree - google doesn't matter. Worry about your site and let google take care of it's own ...". --- A little naive and dismissive I think. It would be very hard to breathe in this world if someone suddenly removed 90% of the air.

I've never seen Google act directly on any of my (really blatant and obvious) spam reports. In fact there are plenty of my own sites, from a few years back, that hit number 1 for 100mil + keyphrases and they are just full of packed keywords and very little content. I am always returning to those clients, trying to get them to take the cheats out and they just say they will carry on until Google catches them. So, as far as they are concerned, they supply a good service ... they just need a little extra help to get on top of the other cheats.

All the best
