Wall Street Journal On Search-Funded Spam

I’ve written before on the ironic situation of Google AdSense funding some of the spam Google has to
eliminate from its indexed. Syndic8 Gets Outed for Spamming and
WordPress Caught Spamming After Enlisting To Fight Spam are two close up examples, as well. Spotted
via John Battelle, Web sites that exist only to sell
advertising has Wall Street Journal writer Lee Gomes earlier this month feeling fed up with the situation as well. It’s not an in-depth look but more a personal commentary
— and a sign that the issue is becoming more noticeable.
