Google's problems are our problems. Those of us who deal with other
people's sites have to take account of them.

But we are not Google! Minime is posting to us like we *are* Google. Make
complaints to them. WE can not help, it is up to those who see what they
feel is spam results to report it. Not to complain here! What are YOU
planning on doing about this spam results Bill? Are you going to have the
all powerful fixer upper?

Those of us Bill? You think I only have my sites and I don't venture out to
help others? There are a few of those I have helped.

The point us i have sent reports to google yet nothing is done

It would have taken a lot less time and effort to just answer his question
than to spam him with BS complaints.

It's frustrating, I know.

The way Google works is by building 'filters' and other devices into their
operating algorithm to weed out spam sites.

'Manual' removal of such sites is simply unrealistic - Google would need a
team of thousands, 24/7, and while I'd like to see spammers gone, I accept
that Google will not go bankrupt trying!

And where the algo is concerned, each 'update' does remove swathes more
spammers, and demotes many more.

Your industry, as you've realised, is thigh deep in spam; indeed, many argue
that "You have to spam to succeed" in that market - I disagree, but I also
understand why people feel that way.

But the sheer percentage of spammers makes tweaking the algo no easy task.

Three points to give you hope:

1. Google has lately put many more resources into spam in general and manual
removals in particular.

2. Reading between the lines of some recent developments, Google may be
working on "demoting" rather than "removing" some spam sites. This would be
a great development, as the spammers would not be 'certain' where and when
they'd been caught out, and so would find adapting much more difficult.

3. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/

Hang in there; spam reports do get processed and help in tweaking the algo,
even if nothing stirs on the surface!

Hang In There!

This is not news. Many of us here have experience of similar
circumstances. Arguably Google may not react to individual instances
of spamming unless it's a redirect to hard porn. It may be they're
taking note of the examples presented to them and attempting to define
the typical characteristics of sites like that and adjusting their
algos to rid the index of them automatically. Makes sense to me.

It would help if you learn to post properly before chewing people out. Don't
top post! You have been told before but yet you still do it.
