It's hard to say what Google is up to Implementer. I mean sometimes I think they have got to be the dumbest company around. I mean this here forum is available for all the world to see.

If I was Google I would come on here and make it my business to study what people here say. I would purchase WSO's, join their private forums, whatever to get inside information to knock out most thin, MFA type web sites, out of existance.

I mean anyone can enter a certain query into Google and find thousands of sites made in line with John's (XFactor's) sites. Many if not most all of those sites are considered spammy, MFA type sites by Google if I am not mistaken. Many of those sites seem to have scraped content.

I don't build my Adsense sites that way but hey...it's a free internet right?

But my point is that Google could come along and knock them all out in one fell swoop if they wanted to by knocking out all sites that use the same About Me page found on so many such sites. Sure they might knock out some legitimate and valuable sites that way too but they would clean up search a lot.

But...they don't do that. Why not? Beats me.

I think in part it's because their focus is on algorithmic solutions to what they consider spam. Not one of a kind querying to knock out specific "spamming" movements.

In other words whatever algorithmic solution they settle on it has to apply across the board to everyone and apparently they have not been able to and may never be able to come up with a solution that applies to everyone fairly that does not also knock out a bunch of legitimate sites. So the "spammy" type sites remain.

It's a tough situation for them. One that has no easy or perhaps any solution at all.

The tougher they make their algorithm to knock out "spam" the more legitimate sites they knock out with the resultant backlash. The less stringent they make their algorithm the more "spammy" sites they let in. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't type of thing. Not an enviable position to be in.

Hopefully we can make money by taking advantage of the cracks in their algorithm if we must, cracks that they allow and knowingly so (they are not completely stupid though sometimes I do wonder if their high fulluting Phd types have gotten lost in their braineness sometimes). I prefer to make money as much into the ethical side of things as possible and to not have to resort to taking advantage of cracks in their algorithm if I must but sometimes...taking advantage of a crack is the only way we can compete with one another and with others who are all falling over each other to get top ranking.
