Someone here posted something about "Strider Search Defender" so I had to check it out. It is a new tool from Microsoft that MSN is going to use to defend against spam and thet posted this on their site: http://research.microsoft.com/searchdefender/Google_Spam_Examples.htm Check out this site and if you are a spammer then there are some good tips for not doing what you do right now! There are also some links to spam sites that we have reported but Google doesn't seem to be able to do something about. They rather delete good content sites than spam site! http://research.microsoft.com/searchdefender/
Spammers will continue doing these things regardless as these methods are still fairly effective in Yahoo and whatnot. When MSN's marketshare becomes heavyweight, then these antispam tools will make us take note. Apparently they're not that effective though, I just found a site I hadn't even optimized amazingly ranking 2nd and 3rd for some fairly searched terms.
