Google Needs to Take Action on Splogs/Adsense

When researching my Dodgeball post below, I was rather disturbed by the amount of splogs in Google’s Blog Search index. Below is a screen print of a nasty scrapper splog wrapped in TONS of Google Adsense Ads.

During Thursday’s earnings call, I’d like to see an analyst seriously discuss this issue with Google.

More Blogger Splogs containing the term Dodgeball were in existence at the time of this post, but have now been removed.
