I think one of the reasons so many spam sites are near the top again....drums...they must have ingested a ton of spam sites into the algo. Now we do the dance of waiting a fee days while results suffer. When my friend was doing that search Saturday he was looking for sites like linkedin. That site didn't appear but was replaced with a hijacked site offering a bad request 500 page. I waited a week to post and for the week it has been in the top 5 as a defunct site.

The article In the dailymall was interesting. The wsj article yesterday hints at some
of the favorite playing we all see. I like the quote "...our goal is to give users answers.".

How about webmasters that follow your rules and get slaughtered by those breaking them?

The only time we ever hear from google is if our adwords payment didn't go through. Other than that we can never reach a real person.
