I have complained to google many times about a particular site who engages in hidden text (loads of it), 1x1 pixel images, cloaking, link farms, doorway pages, mirros etc...
They have done NOTHING .. I'm sick of trying hard and conforming to Google's rules just for it to do me harm. The fact is I could rank better if I spammed, but I don't.
Why the hell should a good, honest, hard working site be beaten by all of the criteria that Google hates?
And don't anyone give me the typical stuff like "oh, well it may not actually be spam"... rubbish, the site I am talking about has EVERYTHING that constitutes as abusive spam, all of the above, then they have some stupid things like single dot links (invisible) to try and increase their PR and so they'll be shown more in the "similar sites" listings for more sites.
Why don't you pay attention Google, I'm not complaining because I'm been beaten in rakings by this company and I want revenge. If they are higher in the rankings then I think thats fine, but they should DO IT FAIRLY.
