Look out for this fellow

[Dominique]

Hey, miracle of miracles, google responded to my spam complaint regarding this via the google webmaster tools message center.

I poked around at this for a while and decided the best way to tackle him was through google, everything was too convoluted for me to make sense of what exactly he was doing or who he was. That made it hard to go after him in other ways.

Google's message was simple:

We've received your spam report for xxhttp://www.serjwizard.info/pages/7777772e67616d626c696e676f6e6c696e656d6167617a696e 652e636f6d2f656e646f7273656d656e74732e706870.html

Since this is the first acknowledgement I received after filing hundreds of spam reports, I think maybe we caught something they wanted to see.

I have seen reactions to filed reports many times before as the offender disappeared from the index, but this is the very first time I received a note about it.

I find it encouraging, they are paying attention.

Thank you Dominique I submitted a few as well. This particular fellow is all over the place so narrowing it down would be difficult. But I think what we caught was the beginning stages of something new.

Some people often complain Google’s reluctance to take any action against these cyber terrorists. But believe me it is Google’s best interest to do so. Time after time they have said they take these matters seriously.

So thank you Dominique for taking some proactive measures seldom seen by others.

Thanks for pointing it out, greek.

Now that google acknowledged the problem, I think googlers will be able to figure out what all he is up to and then foil him properly.

If it's a new concept in spamming, I am sure they are happy to study it and adjust their algo to nip it in the bud.

Kudos Dom,

For taking this to the source. I know I get a little discouraged sometimes (sure others do too) when addressing this stuff constantly. However, this clearly demonstrates that someone at Google is paying attention, which IMHO makes the hard slog worth it.


Cheers
