Reporting blog spam
I often search through blogsearch.google.com for the latest blog posts on a topic. It can be frustrating at times though. Sometimes the amount of blog spam is overwhelming. It can be so out of control that I think Google needs some help. A button that says “This link is spam” would be helpful. I’ll put my name and online reputation behind my spam votes too.
From what I see it doesn’t appear that it would be too difficult to come up with an algorithm to prune out these spam posts. Some would get through no doubt. And the spammers would probably come up with a workaround. But up to this point it looks like Google isn’t winning, which is frustrating.
