Google Spam Report

Cant see any action

[showtime]

hi;

My website in turkish I use google.com.tr . I have also websites in english. I can say english serp pages hundred times better then turkish ones.

in my keyword serp in google i have some competitors using black hat techniques. (hidden links, hidden text)

i first report them using google spam report more than 1 year before but no action. Times and times i report them but cant see any results. They are still listing in 1st page.

Is there any other method to inform them? I cant get any results from google spam report

Thanks

Google rarely makes specific changes by hand based on spam reports. Instead they use these reports as information to help them as they continue to develop the algorithm's abilities. They will make changes in drastic situations, such as legal troubles, risks to children and things like that, but usually not in run-of-the-mill commercial cases.

Thus encouraging some people to use black hat techniques safe in the knowledge that they can get away with it indefinitely. ;)

Google using small countries to melt their adsense promotions. Google to engourage for spam. If you have a few spammy page and adsense; thats ok. No problem for Google. But for America or England condition different.

Just England? What about Scotland, Ireland and Wales?

You'll get no reply and no feedback from Google.

I have, however, one solitary example over 2 years of a site that I had complained about going PR0 and getting 'banned'. Just one from many!

What is the likelyhood that this site was 'banned' by standard filter adjustements and would have been so anyway?

vince, it's very possible. i wasn't implying causation.

I would say reporting spam and spammers from within Google Webmaster Tools should be more effective. Once you login, you can find spam reporting under "Tools":
