WTF is going on over at yahoo?

[Jel]

3,4,5 pages of spam by the same group for almost every term I searched (admittedly only about 20) - 4-8 results I normally report but 40+ on a huge amount of terms? I'm getting crucified :(

Yep... I saw the same thing with my primary niche (celebrity). It started about 2-3 weeks ago.

[zvaka]

i saw on google for celebrity too :(

[gideon]

I got nailed on my terms too so I reported them.. it was like 40 domains.. none were even adult. anyway I used these links

and they were gone within the week.
Sometimes you have to wait about two weeks but its worth the wait to get all that traffic!

MSN got hit with spam also 1 or 2 days after I had some nice listing - those rotten cock suckers plain robbed me

Although I have yet to experience the delights of spammers competing with my sites, How long do you guys usually have to wait before the SE get their head out of the ground and stop the spam?

[ronnie]

It's not the SE's with their head in the ground it's spammers taking advantage of the system.

I stand corrected.

how long does it take the SE's to stop the problem, on average?

or does it continue indefinitely?
