I should think there are a lot of people feeling bitter at the moment particularly when they see sites which blatantly cheat holding fast.
I just posted a recipe for how to cheat and be no.1 for any keyword you want on Google (and other SE's), in another thread in this forum about hidden text.
Some people pay thousands for that - I hope that putting it there might actually draw it to someone's attention.
Yes google need to have more human intervention if they are going to catch the spammers and remove them.
It is terible that legitimate sites have to go down on every update.
I guess googles guidelines do not really count any more as we have followed their every rule and been punished for it.
Tigger, Us webmasters who do not cheat the system are very bitter indeed, I wish i had used spam from the start at least i could say i deserved it!
I feel very bitter Tigger.
Bek.
Trust me, any savvy webmaster know exactly what you have posted on the other thread. Nothing new under the darkness of spam.
Though I understand the frustrations and bitterness those fellow webmasters who's sites lost rankings or dropped out of the index, I can't see any benefit of spamming the index as a result of that.
We as webmasters have pressed Google for long time to do something about spam and spammers.
Google WebSpam Team head Matt Cutts responded positively. Google seeking now cooperation with whitehat webmasters to eliminate spam and spammers through reporting spam to Google.
However, it seems that the amount of spam is so huge that Google needs huge resources and time to deal with the problem. I really don't know the size of WebSpam Team nor I know the number of the folks at WebSpam Team.
But what I see from Matt and GoogleGuy sides is a strong determination and strong wish to cooperate with whitehat webmasters to fight back on spam and spammers.
Take a look at GoogleGuy's posts on this thread this morning and today's post of Matt Cutts on his blog and you shall see what I mean.
Here is the question, should I feel guilty? NOT! I offered many suggestions along the Jagger beaten path, which we implemented, and all were shrugged off by know-it-all posters who are still in here crying "where is my sites, whaaaaa". STOP WATCHING DCs AND DO SOME REAL WORK! If you are still behind then sun, then it's time to get REAL worried...
Anyway, don't let the post count on my profile here fool ya ;) I might be a rookie here, but I'm a black belt out there. I'm willing to help others with our findings if asked... Anyway, we are doing great on the east coast and wish you all were here...
Toodles for now!
