There is a bit of discussion about this already on the "what spam should we target". @Julio Quote: They do collect money from these sites so they cannot complain about the spam nowdays. I don't think that's really fair. What about quality scores etc.? Hello John,

I agree with your Experts Exchange example. There is a bit of discussion about this already on the “what spam should we target”.

Such as www.experts-exchange.com. example page show that you must be a member. but google cache shows content. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Q_20948014.html if you search for: "You may try Kinetic Fusion" in google you get http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Q_20948014.html on second page, but search term is only visible in google's cache. This is not in my best interest, which google preaches about to webmasters. Is cloaking now accepted by google? How come the big boys get away with cloaking.

Maybe google should concider adding somthing to the webmasters tools where webmaster can submit their original content for each page to stop other sites stealing said content. just submited another one for this page http://www.virext.com/searchengineseo.htm which comes up in the top ten #1 for “Tampa Bay Area Search Engine optimizing” who have stolen original content from my site and used it on both this site and this site http://www.virext.com/searchengineseo.htm what ever happened to google only indexing original unique content?

This is very discouraging for white hat SEOs like myself who tries to follow the rules and makes sure my clients do or they get dumped.

A combination of flash redirects and css cloaking are used and most names have a whois connection. There are hundreds of domains being used and many are listed in Google. I am concerned because the name that is similar to ours may cause confusion and I would like to get this sorted out without risk to ourselves, I think this may be beyond the normal spam report facility and I would like to divulge the names etc but not in the public domain. What do you suggest? Hi Matt,

This was handy because it meant I could use the exact same code for all of them - the only downside is that they perhaps aren’t as representative of all blogs everywhere as they could be, though the techniques I used would work for any blogging system, and I imagine the results would be much the same. But I suppose you’re all screaming to hear just what these cunning things I did are. You are, right? Yes, I thought you were. Thank s Hi
