i looked at the new index and found some spam pages - all using javascript redirections.
(I'm not allowed to publish nor the keywords nor the pages here, sorry)
I'm a german user and i can only say that none of my spam reports - up to today - have never had a consequence.
I think it is a pity that the spam reports seem to be ignored - especially because on the google page it says:
"Help us maintain the quality of Google results."
Do we really help them if the reports seem to be ignored?
I know that google must get thousands of spam reports every day and it is impossible to check them all manually.
But on the other hand i think everybody can understand the "normal user" who is frustrated by the spam-results!
And if he wants to report it, than he often achieves no result; as a consequence he - even if he is motivated to report and prevent spam - will give up; so he has to live with these nasty and frustrating spam pages.
I think this isn't really a nice outlook, although there always was and allways will be spam and it is impossible to prevent it.
The point i want to stress is the fact that i would welcome it if google would pay more attention to the normal spam-reports because i think as a consequence the users would help more often to fight against the spammers. As a result we all would get better search-results.
So if my help is wanted, i could - and i would, of course - expose some spammers.
Maybe this could be the turning point to a knew era of "fighting against spam".
