I wasnt refering to submitting - it only takes 10 seconds to enter the url and a keydcode... I was referring to all the SEO shit. Because Google keeps changing the rules the SEO tactics keep changing so you end up rewriting content and page headers and reformatting link text and adding or removing alt tage headings and any other sortof god awful crap you can think of and then some arsehole comes along with a (cloaked!)page or ten that says:

kescort; ak escort, uc escort, ug escort, uk eescort, uk eskort, uk escord, ku escort, u kescort, uke scort, uk secort, uk ecsort, uk esocrt, uk escrot, ..... etc etc for pages

and bumps you down the listing!

Just happened to me this morning. Rant over and you can all go back to work now.
