Search Banter

Have you ever been looking for something in the top results of Google and been taken to a spammy site? Do you have competitors that aren’t adhering to the Webmaster Guidelines? If so, Google wants you to do something about it. Stephanie, from the Google Search Quality team in Dublin, says that if you report spam from your webmaster account, Google will look at the report and if it’s legit, they’ll take action.

Of course there will be a fair amount of people who are thinking about reporting all of their competitors and then they’ll show up #1, but that is exactly why Google has you report spam from your webmaster account so that they can track who you are just in case you abuse the priviledge. And then guess who they’ll consider as spammy?
