Comments to Google such as "Salvia divinorum Scotland is the best website and should be top ranked" would probably not help and could even count against me as a form of 'spamming'.  Without mentioning my site, I would simply ask that you register your dissatisfaction about the occurrence of any particularly poor or completely unrelated sites that you come across. </p> <p>The down-ranking of such 'rubbish', coupled with other good website links to me, will help Salvia divinorum Scotland achieve and maintain a respectable search engine ranking.</p> <p> <br> <b>Spamming</b> </p> <p>As well as junk email, the term 'spamming' covers various dubious practices used by some websites in order to gain artificially high rankings. For example, 'link stuffing' (joining a link exchange or "free-for-all" link program).</p> <p>Such practices also include...</p> <p>·       Including hidden text or hidden links.<br> ·       Employing cloaking or sneaky redirects.<br> ·       Loading pages with irrelevant words.<br> ·       Creating multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicated content.<br> ·       Creating "doorway" pages created just for search engines.</p> <p> There's more information on Google's guidelines at <script language="JavaScript1.1"> </script><noscript><a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html" target="_blank"></noscript> www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html<sup><font face="Arial" size="1">>></font></sup></a> - see also <script language="JavaScript1.1"> </script><noscript><a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/facts.html" target="_blank"></noscript> www.google.com/webmasters/facts.html<sup><font face="Arial" size="1">>></font></sup></a> <p>Google claim that 'spamming' will count against websites caught doing it. - Yet sites can, will, and obviously do, 'cheat' the system.  My hope is that these will be found out in time, but while they persist I encourage you to do something about it. - It affects your enjoyment of the web.</p> <p>You can use the following link if you want to report spamming <script language="JavaScript1.1"> </script><noscript><a href="http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html" target="_blank"></noscript> www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html<sup><font face="Arial" size="1">>></font></sup></a> </p> <p>You can also use the 'Help Us Improve' link found at the bottom of a page of Google's search results.</p> <p>Once again, if you are going to contact a search engine such as Google, I'd suggest that you don't mention my website.  Don't say something like "Salvia divinorum Scotland should be ranked higher". - Google may consider this in itself a form of spamming. Simply limit your concerns to reporting on sites you believe inappropriately ranked.</p> <noscript><div id="hide01" class="hidden"></noscript> <p> <span onClick="expandcontent(this.parentNode.parentNode, 'sc01')" style="cursor:hand; cursor:pointer" title="click to collapse text"> <font face="Courier New" color="Green">-<</font> </span> <noscript></div></noscript> </span> </span>  <br><br> </p> </blockquote> <hr> <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="28%"><a href="latest.htm#helpsalvia"><Back to Latest Details</a></td> <td width="24%"> <p align="center"><a href="../home.htm">Main Menu</a></td> <td width="24%"> <p align="center"><a href="../salvia/index.htm">Salvia Menu</a></td> <td width="24%"> <p align="right"><a href="../menu2.htm">Menu 2</a></td> </tr> </table> </body>
