Wow, I didn’t know about this case. But it’s good to see that even the biggest websites will be get an penalty when using spam methods. I always thougt that there will be other rules than for standard small websites.
But how about the behavior of social bookmarking services like mister-wong.de and others… They also use massive keyword-spamming to be ranked in nice positions.

This is good news. You are right spam in any language is just that.
Google will increasingly improve the spam so hopefully the past belongs.

Hi Matt,
I was reading your post and have a question related to this topic, but didn’t seen it answered here. Is there any SEO benefit for sites needing to be indexed in multiple languages to purchase domains for .eu, .de, .fr, .it etc and redirect all to the .com page, or to post language versions of the site on these domains? (Or would it have the same effect to post the language versions on the main .com site, which is what I thought is the case)?

Thanks. (any chance you can email me an answer?)

If you disable javascript you can see they try to cheat Google and other search engines.

Well on one side most Domains start to devolop their popularity by getting as much cataloques as possible. After 1-4 Weeks You are having produced an own SPAM net. For example if I enter COPYSHOP and the first 10 RESULTS are Catalogues (Name address small discription), I as a user after five results I give up. That is not what I want to find. And Your domain sometimes apears in hundrets of results! I made the same expierience!
