How are your numbers these days?

You would think they would be on top of it, but I've seen this and a couple others I know told me they seen legit sites pushed deep, even big name link lists. I know sponsors wouldn't do anything because they are probably making a ton of $ ....unless enough webmasters made complaints. But, I have a feeling search engines wont' catch or even do much. It seems to come in phases.

I would assume this will have big negative effects on everyones stats and sales...although this is probably just one part of the equation. I'd be curious how everyone elses stats are over a quarterly period and compare it to last year at this time.

Spammers are feeding new crap domains to the search engines every hour, and I see no evidence of the major search engines automatically filtering out these new spam sites. Many (but not all) dissappear after a while though, so I know the spam reporting does work. Still, too many holes in the SE algos.
