One of my blogs must get 50-75 per day.

They’re a lucky bunch to find so many legitimate complainers that also happen to be SEO copywriters don’t you think?

I think this must be taken care by group of SEO people taking initiative. Everytime some new tricks to spam is invented atleast one of these Detectives can buzz the alarm and Google Spam team can start taking actions. Create some Certification for WebSpammers Detective.

Still baffles me but doing a bit of research a lot of other web-masters are having the same problem. Would this type of spam hinder our rankings? Hi Matt,

I think the term is ‘referrer bombing’?

A lot of my sites have shown that i have had traffic from a lots of sites with .golbnet.com extension but when I log on to these sites i cannot find a link to mine? Still baffles me but doing a bit of research a lot of other web-masters are having the same problem. Would this type of spam hinder our rankings?

Is this true or do you cache popular results for a pre determined amount of time? I'd really like to know.

For example a search for 'merchant services' in Google.co.uk brings up a local search map which is irrelevant, I would like to see some way of reporting searches like these? Tom Hi Matt,

If you look at how the trading market works, it depends on news, who made the news and where the news comes from. If we can say matt cutt says websiteA is a good website and Matt Cutt is a known figure on the internet then maybe we can put a weight on the site to say, yaa this site got an approval from a well trusted person on the net. Its the same how the market operate on news and trusted source.2. Certificates, allot of sites are verified by verisign, a trusted organisation, so if we promote such activity this can lead to better and trusted sites.3. Look at if the site gets put in the news for good reasons, maybe downgrade for bad reasons.4. Look at Alexa traffic as an example maybe for more information about the site5. Maybe use the company registration to verify the company6. Use the yellow pages, ie trusted directories7. Authors tag on the site, build a database of authors who trusted salameh allan

Hi Matt,

I want to suggest a few methods to improve search to return relevant results and to improve the search experience.

1. If you look at how the trading market works, it depends on news, who made the news and where the news comes from. If we can say matt cutt says websiteA is a good website and Matt Cutt is a known figure on the internet then maybe we can put a weight on the site to say, yaa this site got an approval from a well trusted person on the net. Its the same how the market operate on news and trusted source.

2. Certificates, allot of sites are verified by verisign, a trusted organisation, so if we promote such activity this can lead to better and trusted sites.

3. Look at if the site gets put in the news for good reasons, maybe downgrade for bad reasons.

4. Look at Alexa traffic as an example maybe for more information about the site

5. Maybe use the company registration to verify the company

6. Use the yellow pages, ie trusted directories

7. Authors tag on the site, build a database of authors who trusted

We could all build a site like Ripoffreport and start posting bad things.i found the site when i was looking for an seo company i know I found some very bad reports. I used my own steam to find if the story was true. (it was not). so find sites like that unfair. Goodluck with you work your doing a great job. Hi Matt
