>>>>I was just surprized that somebody could game google so easy these days and go from nowhere to a major player in 3 months. You would think, going from PR0 to PR7 in three months would set off alarm bells for google.

You'd think. You'd be wrong :). I am also amazed to see someone dump loads of money on clearly garbage links and walk up the serps. I worry I'm too aggressive sometimes on my main site with link development, then I look at that and think what am I worried about?

>>>>I just wonder if I should submit a spam report to google, or just wait for an algo change to finish them.

Actually you should do neither of those. The proper response is to set up a second site and do the same thing as they are. Nothing wrong with building a long term site for business, nothing wrong with augmenting that business by using secondary sites that are less long term. (it's worth noting though, that these short term sites sometimes stick around for an awful long time. It's not like they pop up and are gone a month later because of a spam report. Doesn't work that way).
