Google Calling for link spam reports

From Matt Cutts Blog

****

Google has been working on some new algorithms and tools to tackle linkspam and we’d like to ask for linkspam reports from you. If you’d like to tell us about web sites that appear to be using spammy links (e.g. paid links that pass PageRank, blog spammers, guestbook spammers, etc.), here’s how to send us more info. Go to

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport

and tell us about the site that appears to be employing link spam. Be sure to include the word “linkspam” (all one word, all lower-case) in the textarea (the last field in the form).

If that’s too hard to remember, you can also use the shortcut

http://goo.gl/linkspam

which will pre-populate the text area field to say “linkspam” in it. Note: to use these forms, you must sign in with a Google account. We’re moving away from using the anonymous spam report form.

Thanks in advance for any data you’d like to send our way!

Google already tried to crack down sites that sell and buy links for the sole reason to gain PageRank. For the reason that many sites have top positions thanks to thousand of paid links.

Other people see this and want to copy this method to gain high rankings too. As you know this is against the guidelines of Google.

Now with this new algorithm Google tries to find sites and crack them down which are using spammy links like blog and guest book spamming.

So you are warned!
