    Many of my keywords are getting buried by listings in carookee.com. This site has been registered since 2001 and I am surprised to see so much spam on it. All the spam started on 8/24/2006. How can a legitamate site allow this to happen?

    Type in carookee in Google and you will find what out what I am talking about.


    Is anyone else being affected by spam from this site?

    On what basis do you call it a spam site?

    It's very simple:

    1) AT http://www.google.com search for carookee

    2) Observe all the subdomains and titles

    Results:

    Buy Cialis Online
    Online Texas Holdem
    Three Card Poker
    Casinos Online
    Ringtones
    Phentermine

    It goes on and on


    Click on the cached pages and you will find cloaking. It's a totally mess.

    3.5 million pages of nasty spam.

    Look here.

    If you click on the links to go to the pages, you see a regular carookee page, but if you view the cache of the pages, you see this. Seems they're trying the same thing as Nintendo's MASSIVE SPAM! guy...

    heehee! "Results 1 - 10 of about 4,210,000 for carookee.com"

    This tactic is becoming very popular with what appear to be legit WH sites. But buried in subfolders and subdomains are tons of keyword stuffed/cloaked pages. All for thousands of different niches.

    Spam knows no bounds my friends. And google is damn near blind to all of it.

    Who moved this thread? I posted this in the Google forum, but it is in website reviews?

    Google Spam should be in the Google Forum.

    I second 142857's question - this seems completely out-of-place.

    Nice piece of investigative reporting.

    Of course, the lesson is, upgrade software that your site is running as soon as possible. (Of course, that also means testing the upgrade on your development server, first.)
