Well, I've been thinking a lot about the implications of the possibility that the Google spamreport page actually works, when you use the right reporting techniques.
Suppose all we webmasters, especially the small linklist owners, spent a couple hours a month researching and reporting spam networks using these special techniques?
In theory, the spam networks would start collapsing _much faster_. All of our pages would rise in the results and the surfers would be happier because they haven't been harrassed by spammers and toolbar installers and the like.
Happy surfers spend money. The hundreds of signups these guys are taking from our pockets become ours again.
I mention small linklist owners becuase they would, in theory, benefit the most. They are using a centralized search engine strategy, but they can't compete head to head with GG or penisbot or Jays. The spots they can get with the centralized strategy are the ones most easily attacked by script spammers. So, the struggling small LL owners would probably see actual cash benefits the quickest...
Like I said, a new business model, based on the concept of attacking the spam networks to get our spots back.
