Posted by randfish In years past, I'd occassionally post about various aspects of webspam – manipulative links, cloaking, thin content, etc. In these posts, I'd use examples I'd seen – sometimes particularly egregious ones, other times more subtle offenders – both to help illustrate the points and to provide concrete evidence. It's hard to say “link spam is a big problem and Google's susceptible to it,” without specific data to help back up that point, and it's much easier to brush aside generic statements than observable cases
