We moved into a new keyword area the other day for our new site, and in some keywords, the first 100(!) results are ALL spam. Keyword stuffed text pages (that story interlaced with keywords thing) cloaked and redirected to popup hell..
Probably the script this idiot is trying to sell. So it does work, until someone who you're competing with notices you spamming the shit out of google and points it out to them. Bam, instant death for all the spammy domains, and better results for people like me and WG. ;>

Bingo. Your right though, all it takes to destroy a spammer is one email to Google. Unfortunately, for that month that spammer is probably making good money and that alone is motivation for them to keep hoping from domain to domain repeating what they've been doing... So long as its profitable, a spammer will keep doing it. That's what killed Altavista, Hotbot and is starting to affect Google. Good ethics work in the long run, but short lived spammers will always be a problem...
