Google’s SPAM Dectection Bites Itself
InfoWorld reported that Google’s Custom Search Blog, which is hosted on Google’s BlogSpot platform, was flagged as Spam and was registered by a new user.
According to the report, Google quickly learned of their mistake and took back the Blog, removed the content made by the “new owner” and restored the blog.
While I did not see this occur personally and there is no information on Google’s Custom Search Blog about this occurrence, this could be a sick attempt at “link bait” … as people are trying to make more of this than they should.
Personally, I don’t see why anyone would use BlogSpot … it is a faulty platform for Blogging. Heck even Matt Cutts, SPAM Czar at Google is smart enough not to use it.
