What Google Knows About Spam

Matt Cutts, one of the more famous people at Google, recently presented at the Web 2.0 conference on what Google knows about spam. Although I wish he had given a few more concrete examples--i.e., "getting off the beaten path" to avoid spam--this is a good overview on spam and how to avoid it.

Jerry,

It's an ongoing battle. Google and the other search engines will keep getting better at spotting these spammers, and some spammers will continue to get better.
