Spam report swirl but not like a Google DMCA or legal take down request (which would be relatively instant)
The Google spam report isn’t a direct line to Google to say “remove this page”
Firstly – Google needs to establish if it is spam and how it’s spam
Google doesn’t manually interfere with the algorithms- it can’t – that would be incredibly time consuming. Eveything Google doesn’t manually interfere has to be done within the algorithms. Tweaking it for outlier cases would mess it all up
So the spam would have to fall into either a new heuristic set or they’d have to figure how to tweak an existing heuristic set
Then it would have to fit into a GCU roadmap of it was determined to fit
So – yes spam reports work but not immmediately
