google versus the spammers [permalink]
Marco illuminates a big issue with spammers marginalizing the effectiveness of search results. But can we really blame Google? I don’t think any other search engine has found a way around the issue, or even performs any better than Google at filtering junk. It seems to me they’ve become a victim of their own success.
By becoming the de facto search standard, they became the target for spammers everywhere. As long as they keep on top, they’re going to face this issue at some level. I still haven’t seen a single search engine I would prefer. Bing might be ok…
