I've just been reading Matt Cutts' Blog post about webspam. Matt is the head of Google's webspam team.
What I like about this is the fact that he (and Google) have asked the user what they consider webspam. In other words they want to know what their (Google's) customers want to find. And more importantly, what they do NOT want to find.
I have to be honest, its the profile pic...especially the hat...that keeps me reading...lol.
