    I think some filters are down as I see lots of youtube spam too. Should be back to normal in a week i think.

    nice investigation sweetfunny. Thanks for sharing this. Yes, i can see now that plenty of forums profile get high rank as well in competitive keywords (mostly drugs) and they are only spamming...

    You almost did not have to tell us that you are not competing for enlargement pills, with "weight loss" in your signature line - LOL :D

    yet another black hat strategy? i woudn't be surprised as they are also a company that want money. it may be another way to get some ads to almost all content on the net. but anyway, it would be deceptive as it only shows the ads and not the content on what the searcher would like to get.

    This is very interesting. I think I see what's going on. Every page on Youtube already has the Google "trust" factor that would normally take a while for new sites to gain. Those guys just spammed their link for backlinks without occurring any penalty since the link is on their youtube profile. If they were to use a site of their own, they would be put into the Google Sandbox for a year, especially with competitive niches like those.

    yeah, you see what I meant...when many people think spamming becomes more and more difficult, I see spamming is now even become easier, these youtube channel and video are only some examples. I don't know about the future though but Google algorithm improves very slowly. What I really don't like is how Google show the meta description of the video itself. If you search for keyword "weight loss pills", see the description of the YouTube video that I mention earlier:
    Are you looking for the best weight loss product in the US? ... Views: 44378. Lose 20 pounds in 30 days -Get into your bikini -Weight loss pills

    Views 44378? The total views is even less than 3,000.

    Anyway, just noticed a new "profile" spam that sweetfunny said earlier in this thread. I mean this: penisenlargementpills.u.yuku.com, he is on the first page of keyword "penis enlargement pills".

    There is plenty of it, this profile is #7 for "Viagra".

    I saw a Google Groups page recently ranking page 1 for a competitive pharma term, you had the Google logo and a page with massive font saying "Buy XYZ Meds Online".

    Now that's rubbing their noses in it lol

    Yeah I noticed that same thing. The videos are especially bad if you use google video and looked at the "related" videos that come up in search results.
