Google Has A New WebSpam Reporting Form

There was always an option in Google to report spam, however this time it is an improved version with a brand new reporting form. This version provides users with more specific and profound options so that it is much easier to trace. This has the chance to greatly diminish the amount of webspam in search engines, thereby making the search results much more accurate.

Why Is A New Form Needed ?

The reason for this new reporting form is that, in the past, the reports were reported with single web forms. As a result, it took the spam reports a longer time to reach the proper team in order to take care of the issue. With the new form, it is so precise that it reaches the respective team almost instantly after it is submitted. It is important that users use this new feature given to us by Google because we should all contribute to help clean our internet and search engines of all webspams.
