The site was flagged both algorithmically and also escalated to a member of the manual webspam team. The basic philosophy is to do as much as we can algorithmically, but there will always be a residual of hard cases that computers might not do as well at (e.g. spotting hacked sites and identifying the parts of a site that have been hacked). That's where the manual webspam team really adds a lot of value. In addition to things like removing sites, the data from the manual webspam team is also used to train the next generations of our algorithms. For example, the hacked site data that our manual team produced not only helped webmasters directly, we also used that data to produce an automatic hacked site detector. If you're interested, I made a video about the interaction between algorithmic and manual spamfighting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES01L4xjSXE |
