The whole point of a decent search engine is that it should put what
you want on the first page or two, so you dont have to look too hard.

Or hope that the likes of google will eventually be able to work
out how to automate putting the crap way down the list of hits.

It does an excellent job of that with most stuff.

I agree, but the web has too many web sites for human review
of all their content or merit,
let alone timely indexing of content as things change.
Yes, it would be nice if humans were still "in the loop"
to minimize such abuses, or if we could individually
blacklist sites from our searches that have abused their privilege.

When I search for chip parts, I tend to wade thru a few pages
of hits from partsminer and brokers that probably don't even HAVE the parts.
They just collect BIDS for parts by lising EVERY PART NUMBER on their
web site and having all their friends link to their web site
for the higher rating :-(

We have a plentiful selection of newsgroups about network abuse and
related issues, but what is the best one to use? Here are excerpts from
the newsgroups' charters, with emphasis added to help make things clear.
Please refer to the full charters, URLs included here when available, if
you would like more detail.

If you want to learn more about network abuse -- what it is, what can be
done about it and just what all those acronyms mean -- Tim Skirvin has
pointers to more sources of information at:

<http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/nana/>

Thank you for following these recommendations. It will make these
newsgroups more useful for all involved.

He/she has violated the newsgroup's "no spam" rule as outlined in
newsgroups charter and the FAQ located here

Section 2.2 deals with the off-topic issue and 2.3 deals with the no
spam policy.

Thank you.

I amm getting fed up with people who flood search engines with
useless crap, rendering the
engines hard or impossible to use. Example of this: When ever I need
to find a peice of
software, or a driver that I need, I do a quick google search.
However, most of the links
I get are for porno and warez sites with a summary that looks like
"p0rn hacks, warez,Xbox mod chip, pirated games" blah blah blah. This
problem gets even
worse for a hard to find driver or software for an uncommon peice of
hardware. Do
search companies have a way to clean this gunk out of their results,
or push this crap to
the end of the results queue? If a site has a bunch of unreleated
keywords, and includes
terms such as "warez", shouldn't it be trivial for their software to
flag it and push those
pages to the back burner...

Know the Islam.

Find the position in this what to want of the Islam.

About 80%% of my spam of late points to web sites whose URLs are registered
by:

ait.com
aitdomains.com
THE NAME IT CORPORATION DBA NAMESERVICES.NET

The question is:

Is this a spam operation itself ?
or
Are they just spam friendly ?
or
Are they just blind or stupid ?

Initial attempts to contact them have been less than fruitful.
Would be nice to know the situation before I ramp up my "assault".

Current Spam thresholds and guidelines.

This article is intended to describe the current consensus spam thresholds
and ensure that the definitions of these terms are available and consistent.
It is believed that most, if not all, spam cancellers use these terms and
definitions in their work; however, many other people use the terms
inappropriately, which leads to confusion in discussions. This is an
informal FAQ aimed at clarity and understanding, not anal-retentive
correctness.

Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP) has the same meaning as the term "spam"
usually carries, but it is more accurate and self-explanatory. EMP means,
essentially, "too many separate copies of a substantively identical
article."
