Ok, picture this:

gmail interface messages, they only take up a line, until you click them and they instantly expand.

Now think of SERPs. Each site gets a spam probability rating according to some sort of spam algo. If the rating is above a certain point, it doesn't get removed, it gets colalpsed to single thin line with the title and the spam rating displayed. For every 2 or 3 collapsed SERPs, an extra item is shown on the page, to keep it approximately the same pysical length. Now people can judge by titles if teh spam is worth a look. Algo can be tweaked to false positive markers, i.e. people visiting sites with high spam rankings.
