Yahoo Poker and Spam

Whoa nellie......This new database that Yahoo has rolled out really has the spammers jumping for joy as their sites now take up most of the top 50 for damn near every keyword related to poker,online poker,free poker and on and on and on! As a webmaster, checking the serps (search engine result pages) is something i do on a regular basis to make sure all this hard work i'm doing is paying off, instead of finding some decent sites all you can find is spam,spam and more spam.

I mean seriously, what in the hell do we as legitimate webmasters have to do? I refuse to use software to spam thousands of blogs everyday and I damn sure can't even begin to write those bullshit pages they post. I'll give you a link to one of these pages at the end of this article just so you can see what i'm talking about. I went to Yahoo's blog and put my 10 cents worth in a comment and THEN had to "edit" my comment because the word "poker" was in my url......You gotta be kiddin me! They can filter any and all posts (even legitimate ones) but we cant keep the bullshit out of the SERPS.

I hate to be harping on Yahoo as I know they are genuinely trying to solve this problem but it's really starting to piss me off. Yahoo is by far my favorite SE but it's frustrating to see the spammers manipulate the pages over and over. Google seems to have the problem under control (at least somewhat) and MSN is horribly littered with spam (even more than Yahoo's latest fiasco).

On a brighter note....Yahoo says they aren't done and we need to be patient. I just hope that they are really setting up the spammers by putting them in all the top positions so they can recognize their work and give them the boot....right out the fu&^%ing back door into never never land! I'm done bitching for now and take a look at the cached pages for #1 THRU #10 for the term "free texas holdem" to see what I'm talking about!
