Google Censorship (and Why Google Page Counts Are Often Wrong)

In a previous post ("What Gives With Bogus Google Web Page Counts? ")

I commented on the fact the Google searches often give absurd page counts. Did a little investigating on my own and it seems this is due to web page spamming. For a great explanation of this see:

"Google Spam Filtering Gone Bad" by Seth Finkelstein

And this seems to explain why my blog got marked as spam.
