Google Caffeine - heavier penalty for keyword spamming?

    I was playing around with the Google Sandbox for caffeine.

    In "old" google, "panasonic dmc g1 usb charging" gave me a site nicebookmark.net on the first page. Don't want to target the site, but when reading the article, I noticed that the author added loads of keywords at the bottom of the page, which almost tempted me to start doing the same.

    Then I gave it a try in Google Cafeine sandbox. Same query and browsed through 12 pages of results, then gave up. Same site did not show anymore.

    It appears that they are getting better at weeding out such practices from the search results. Yes yes, I know, "content is king" ;)

    spam is king also. you would not believe how many people are making thousands with spam. And they ain't doing it for the long run either. Just do it, takes a month or several months for google to remove them. Once it gets removed. do the same spam, and get high on certain keywords and rinse and repeat.

    Glad to see the some changes being done though. Still a lot of shitty results IMO.

    Call me crazy, but I've been seeing better results in Bing lately. Might be because Google is the #1 target for spammers, but better results are better results...

    it seems to be different results for the new search engine. I guess they are revamping it to make it better and remove the spammers.

    Finally huh? I supposed Google should have done this since a long time ago. I wonder what next? In-content paid links?

    very true and even I know there are people on DP here itself who are the great spammers and just come in top 5 position just in 1 month and earns a lot in that time before google penalize them.

    There's nothing wrong with a few keywords at the end of your post, but there's a limit to when it becomes spam.

    Listing 40 words is a joke, but listing your top 10 is a great way to sneak in some relevance

    You shouldn't be targeting 10 keywords on a page, and they should be well integrated in the article, not just at the end of the article.
