I should probably go to Google’s blog and read some updates, cuz they HAVE to be messing with their spam filter. Either that, or spammers just had a big old evolution in their spamming techniques, b/c all of a sudden in the past week I’m getting more and more spam emails in my gmail inbox.

What’s up with that? Hopefully Google’s already on their next generation of spam filter to combat this latest strain of spammers that are getting emails on through.

It’s kinda weird that SEO and Spam can kind of be compared to viruses. You come up with a way to get links or two spam (that method is your “strain” of SEO or spam) and then the Doctor or Scientists (Google, or a webmaster, or whoever is on the receiving end of that strain) has to come up with a vaccine, or an antibiotic or medication of some sort to fight the strain - be it rank penalties, a twist in the algorithm, etc.  But then the strain mutates, gets stronger or more crafty and the “docs” have to tweak their medication to fight the new strain.

I love metaphors. They help you get a grasp on concepts that you might not easily grasp otherwise. Though the concept above isn’t exactly a groundbreaking, earth shadowing idea. Just an observation.

So c’mon Google, c’mon! Get that spamfilter tweaked, b/c ya’ll had me spoiled! Now I actually have to check the email off and hit that Spam button…TOO MUCH WORK! Ok, that’s a joke, I’m not THAT lazy…
