Angry Google in 2008 - Still susceptible to white on white text Spam!

How long can a website with keyword stuffed hidden text fly under Google’s radar?

Two spam reports have been submitted but this site continues to rank #2 or #3 for the not so competitive keyword phrase of ‘tape drive repair’. The company :Midwest Technical Sales and Service

Check out the hidden paragraph at the bottom of the home page and throughout…

What gives, Matt?

I'm working within guidelines, and these guys come in and 'break the rule' and are handsomely rewarded... over such an OLD technique I thought Google eradicated a while back...

Sites are manually reviewed when a report is submitted.

Assuming that there are tons of these submitted every day, it could take awhile.

2 + years seems excessive for a manual review...

Think of it as you would a submission to DMOZ. Submit it and forget about it.

Besides, you're assuming they have not yet visited the site. They may have and simply decided to let their algos handle it.

whatchagonna do?
