Level of spam seems to be increasing! Is anybody listening?
I am starting to notice more fake forum profiles for some of our clients, clearly not done by them or us.
Since the last few updates spammers seems to think that negative SEO is possible and easy with usual link spam tools. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't - that is not really the point.
The point is that +Google needs to issue a statement or a video confirming that attempts at undoing your competitors rankings through forum, profile and blog spam will not work.
Failure to do so will result in continued increase of link spam which is not good for anybody.
Alternative?
Let us specify which links are spam in Google Webmaster Tools or start parsing spam.txt file where we can specify which links to discount.

Did you not notice this one from a month or so ago
Sorry, I cannot recall that thread. However personally I say six month ago...To be honest I am not sure if I did say something about negative links after six months. So, sure you can beat me on things happened before six months and (sadly) I have to claim ignorance which by itself is weak and I am sorry about that.
That said.. I did notice but there is a diverse between notice and believe... However I already said sorry three times please have mercy...May 7, 2012
I'm enlisting you as my closest ally, +W.E. Jonk :) I am not criticising you, no mercy or apology is needed.May 7, 2012
+Jim Munro well sometimes things like negative seo have to be in your face...May 7, 2012
True. You are right.
I'm no genius but it's been easy for me to see. There's an immediate and massive impact on traffic to attract attention coupled with the knowledge that we've never done offsite seo, even with our own sites. The criminals' handiwork sticks out like a sore thumb.May 7, 2012
So what do you think about my proposition? +Jim Munro
When you are thinking you can listing to http://youtu.be/EC4bARLs71A :DMay 7, 2012
I think it's an incredibly complex problem, +W.E. Jonk but agree that you are right to say that not utilising negative signals would prevent negative seo from having an impact.May 7, 2012
