Hi Guys,
I browse through here from time to time and because I am such a beginner I havent posted til now. However I couldn't resist asking this today as here is something that really gets up my goat.

How long does it take for google to respond after you notify it about major blatant spam? I have notified them about this just recently.

In my search for ‘Magazine Style Wedding Albums’ (an exclusive term used only by wedding couples or wedding photographer) I found links to a site which has apparently misused key words and links from high ranking wedding photography sites to attract traffic to its doorway page for the sole purpose of redirecting traffic to at least two of its totally unrelated target sites, being about animals or mens health.

The google result would yield either http://www.man-health-magazine.info/...e-wedding.html or http://www.animal-magazine.info/anim...le-wedding.php

Then once the surfer goes to the URL provided by google containing the misused links and keywords a redirect occurs and the surfer lands on either http://www.man-health-magazine.info/ or http://www.animal-magazine.info/

It would seem that the keyword ‘magazine’ is what they (the spammers) are targeting. Never mind that the victim sites was only related to wedding photography and albums as their site description shows in my google search.

The result that one receives when one is caught in this deceptive redirect is either a site peddling magazines about mens health magazines or animal magazines.

I would think that this is the work of a SEO company.

Does anybody else know anything about this particular group?
