Update Saga. Part 5

What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

<I guess GoogleGuy & Matt will say ALL spam. However I have the impression that GG & Matt are mostly interested at present in; hidden text, doorway pages sites/networks and SE cloaking. >

I've reported one of these sites 6 times now (in the past 2 weeks) - it's still there. :( maybe they are drowning in spam reports...)

Reseller,

Spam seems to be everywhere nowadays. Even established big brands are using target sentences, keyphrase links and popups to artificially [mis]direct their visitors. If Google's Algo was so good, wouldn't it just pick up these cheats and dismiss them automatically?

<<[From 1984] "It seems I was a thought criminal, even though I didn't know it">>

I think that Google is letting us destroy ourselves by offering us this artificial sense of power over our competitors / fellow forum users.

Until there's a concise list of actual spamming methods to look out for I'll leave the police work to those more worthy than me.

Please remember everyone, when your listings drop, it wasn't me who did it to you ...

Many Thanks

I'm seeing what looks to be a blend of J3 and something older on my www.google.com searches. Cached pages updated as recently as November 14. It looks like something is making its way out, but I'm not really sure what it is.

As far a I can see that from here it has stopped spreading. Can anyone see these results on regular google.com or any other local google right now?

Is google now taking completely the pee?

A keyword we rank quite high has now a 100% MFA site as #1

something like this
[widget[1-9]*.[0-9]-[a-z].de...]

And that w^&*^*&er has reserved thousands of these subdomains.

The only code in that page is an animated gif and an adsense block...

Just to make sure that you understand, the guy/gal above has outranked Wikipedia..... with that bs :\...

Maybe J3 with Flux have lower spam filters. I am sure that Google can ban that kind of spam automatically. Increasing the spam filters will get rid of that kind of spam but for every 10 spammy sites that filter blocks other 5 good ones may go down too.

I am seeing MAJOR overhauls on 66.102.9.104 for my 2, 3 and 4 keyword combinations. Things are really hopping in my sector, beginning this morning.

Anyone else observing large and sudden changes?

About a week or so ago I asked this forum whether it was about time that the press got to hear about Google's recent blitz. It was the broad opinion that we wouldn't have enough simple facts to fill a press release.

How about now?

Does anybody think that the press should hear about this constant flux and panic that is sweeping through our world?

I'd like to hear from the forum before I start

I am seeing a lot of new backlinks today and every one of my indexed pages has a fresh date label. Most of those dates are 2-3 days old at most.
