Google’s index is still loaded with spam
Google has claimed to be fighting spam for years, but thanks to a link coming in to my recent post about Digg Widgets, I’ve seen evidence that could point to the contrary.
The spam post uses data from the summary found at Digg.com. But instead of just posting the summary text, the spam blog adds completely unrelated keywords to the summary.
The spam keywords are in bold.

The keyword stuffing that is going on here would seem to be obvious, and one would think Google could pick up on it right away. But Google has more than 2,400 of the sites pages in its index.
It isn’t just my post that the spammer stuffed with junk keywords. He/she is doing it with MANY blog posts. Take a look at the spam site’s blog.
And does the homepage look worthy of being indexed?
Curious…

The best service that seems to be handling spam well is wordpress.com They do not allow advertising such as AdSense on the free version which dramatically cuts down on the amount of splog pages that can be created.
Google allows these pages I believe because they are making an extremely large amount off of them. I think in time they will take care of all of those spam pages but until then…they are making money off of them.

OK, but then, would it not be common sense that if these spam blogs were knocked out of the index then a blog like yours or mine will be moving up to replace them?
Google makes money off of my blogs as well, so why not have legit results in the index instead of this spam junk?
It’s all profitable, no?
